Review of Cooley High (1975) by Greg M — 14 Sep 2008
This is a great movie and often dubbed the "Black American Graffiti". I feel that it was an important film in black cinema, as it seems a pretty accurate portrayal of teen life during the time.
The dialogue is amusing and the movie has a lot of heart. The characters are diverse and very likable. The movie spawned the hit tv show "What's Happening" and plays out with a great deal of smirky humor.
Save your hankie for the ending.
