Honeydripper

Honeydripper is set in the 1950s in a small, fictional town called Harmony, Alabama where it is cotton picking season in the still segregated south. This simple story played out by unconvincing actors (headliner Danny Glover) in underdeveloped roles is almost so bad it's good. But not quite. The story line, about as original as Fruit Hoops cereal, of a music club that needs saving and a performance that saves it, has the potential to be made compelling by the obvious racial divides, but these relationships are instead glazed over. Between the bland emotions of the characters as they spout their flavorless and unrealistic lines, the camera shots held way too long, and the lack of any original ideas in the plot, this movie is one to skip. If you're in the mood for a musical drama watch The Blues Brothers instead.

BOOOOOOOO!
