A delicious and delightful film

A GOOD DAY TO BE BLACK AND SEXY - this is a fantastic picture! I went from the depression of seeing the worst black film ever in my life to seeing one of the most promising films since I got a sneak peak of Spike Lee's SHE'S GOTTA HAVE IT over 20 years ago!

The audience was packed, the room was ready, and we loved every frame of it! I did not want to see it end. The openly loud and excited crowd response was electric from the first frame! And then wow, that opening title sequence!

This is truly a wonderful picture. You have the opportunity to do something incredible with this film. Although this film is artful and erotic, NOT porn, it has the power to do for adult black audiences what DEEP THROAT did for hip couples in the 1970's.

Magnolia Pictures has made a shrewd move to give black audiences both inspiring and hopeful family and faith images as well as now open the bedroom door cinematically for black adult audiences hungry to see our sexuality in all it's complexity, humor and uniqueness.

Bravo! When's the sequel coming out!!!???!!!
