Review of Cooley High (1975) by Michael G — 03 Apr 2008
Cooley High is essentially the black American Graffiti. It's a series of funny and mostly entertaining scenes that don't quite fit together (or necessarily go anywhere) until you stick them to the fumes of a minimalist plot.
Throw in an amazing soundtrack and you've got an enjoyable cult classic. For the most part Cooley High is just kind of there but a heartbreaking ending pulls it all together. Some great characters and really funny scenes--namely the hooker and the bathroom scenes.
Not exactly essential viewing but definitely worthwhile.
