Amiably unvarnished... Much more successful than most other films that deal with daily life in the projects.

Watstein handily directs and edits around his screenplay's sappier elements.

The fact that this is somebody's real-life story up on there the screen doesn't necessarily guarantee it's an especially fresh story.
