Friendly Flashbacks
By Jeffrey M. Anderson The Wood is a charming and stirring little movie, and much better than its trailer would lead you to believe. First-time writer/director Rick Famuyiwa weaves a story of three friends during two time periods. In the present day, Roland (Taye Diggs) is about to get married but has cold feet. His two best friends Mike (Omar Epps) and Slim (Richard T. Jones) boost his courage and reminisce about their junior high days, with younger actors playing the three roles. Although the movie is about Inglewood ("the wood" for short), the stories are remarkably universal. [an error occurred while processing this directive] |
