The Wood (1999) is a coming-of-age romantic comedy which tells the tale of Roland getting cold feet on his wedding day and we are invited to a front-row seat to Ro, Slim and Mike's often awkward high school years as they bond in Inglewood, CA.
Topics discussed:
🎤 This is on the low end of the range of what we would define as Hip Hop movies, but the soundtrack is full of 80s and 90s jams.
😳 For men of a certain age, it's a familiar ride through the awkwardness of junior high and high school.
👊🏾 Strong chemistry among the lead actors, who give a warmth to their origin story.
📼 The flashbacks make the movie and most of the runtime.
📲 As with many films made before the smartphone era, some things would be different about the story today.
