Pure Joyous Fun

Apparently if you're making a movie about black people in the mid 20th century, it's gotta be depressing and teach you life lessons and all that bs. It couldn't possibly be just a fun movie.
I saw the movie and loved it! I laughed, I cried, I jumped out of my chair a few times, and I fell in love with characters.
I am black, and I find it really sad and offensive that critics are panning this movie because it's not "deep" enough essentially. If this movie was about a crew of white fighter pilots (umm.. Top Gun anyone), it would just be a great film that you could bring your family to and enjoy it. But, no no no... it's about oppressed black men, so it needs to... what? Be serious, educational, realistic, blah, blah, blah. There are plenty of those movies. This was meant to be a family picture and naive and hopeful and happy, and it acheived all of that.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
