Newlyweeds

More Reefer Madness nonsense in this film. The full court press in on by those in power to continue incarcerating, killing and profiting from cannibas prohibition and the drug war. Remember to register to vote and vote out any politiican that does not support repealing the cannibas prohibition which has disproportionately imprisoned more blacks and latinos than any other legal scam in history. Allowing propaganda like this film to support a failed prohibition of a plant that has incarcerated millions, killed hundreds of thousands and wrecked lives is immoral. It is time to move beyond prohibition and the failed drug war.

Making it's debut at the Sundance Film Festival, Newlyweeds is a coming of age story that many will identify with on so many levels. If laughter is essential to life's happiness then Newlyweeds is a must see! Great performances from a sensational cast. The comedy is infectious and anyone who doesn't tear up from laughter needs their pulse checked! The camera work alone keeps the audience guessing what's next and there's an overhead ariel shot during a heartfelt scene that made me want to reach up and hug the character Lyle. Great film, superb cast, and lots of laughs. Shaka King has arrived on the shores of cinema with a new energy, vision and voice.

This film makde me confused about evreything It had alot of mistake because somethings don't happen

A very refreshing piece of work (and hidden gem) which just so happens to be set in an urban world, which is always a plus for me, when done correctly, because this is what I relate to and what I grew up around. The characters were extremely authentic and well played from the two Jamaican characters -who spoke more of a realistic Jamaican Patois as opposed to the stereotypical Jamaican-American "Ayeeee MON" BS- to the drug dealers who spoke -or didn't speak due to paranoia- and acted how your typical drug dealers making hand to hand sales in the streets tend to speak and act. I got a Spike Lee "Crooklyn" vibe from this for some reason, with the obvious differences being "Crooklyn" was more family oriented, different era, and a coming of age dramedy. All in all, this movie kept me watching and was definitely worth it, only criticism being an all too abrupt, yet unique, ending.

8.5/10

Black woman in my 30s- this is one of my favorite movies. Feels so special, made just for US! Saw this the year it came out and it's lingered in my mind and heart since!

I'm always showing this movie at my house, putting new people on to this, what I consider to be a NeoClassic. It's the perfect mix of romance, humor, feeling, and stoner fun. LOVE the main cast, and you can just tell production knocked it out of the park.

This movie felt like home and depicted Brooklyn in a comforting, everyday, real to life way. Makes me super nostalgic for the 2010s. Still feels "new" and not dated at all. This movie deserves all the love and recognition!
