Review of Idlewild (2006) by Leigh B — 10 Nov 2007
Andre should have played Rooster in this movie. But any movie with fly Malinda Williams and fly Paula Jai Parker in it must be good. And there is a new actress in this movie, Paula Patton. Terrance Howard has been type-casted as an evil man in every role that he plays.
And Cicely Tyson has been type-casted as an wise elderly grandmother in every role that she plays. It was funny seeing Faizon Love and Ving Rhames with hair in this movie. They should gave given Rooster's children more speaking lines in this movie.
They had more lines in the "deleted" scene then they had in the entire movie! Ben Vereen's character was a bitter old man who lost his wife and didn't want to lose his only son. I can't believe Patti LaBelle used the Lord's name in vain in this movie! I got lost in the plot when Paula Patton's character got mad at Andre's character and walked out.
Ten seconds later, they were back together again like nothing had ever happened!
