Review of ATL

This movie was so predictable it was borderline boring. However, if you're into Southern culture and hip-hop, it's a must-see. T.I. was fantastic as Rashad, although at certain points he looked so much older then the other characters it was a little disturbing to see him making out with a girl that could easily pass for a high school student and him being damn near 30! What I didn't expect out of this movie was some of the hilarious one-liners and scenes. There is a scene where Ant is in the car of a VERY southern man about to make a sale and the man is speaking pure ATL and there's actually subtitles for what he's saying. That was hilarious to me because like most "Northerners", I know how it can be damn near impossible to understand what most deep Southerners are saying half the time.

Another funny scene was the morning after scene with Rashad, Ant and their Uncle. I'm not going to ruin it for everybody, but let's just say it was so true to life, especially for high school males, that it was another really funny aspect to the film.

And that attribute right there is what makes this film enjoyable, despite it's extremely predictability, it's true-to-life quality. The characters are relatable, their actions, trials and tribulations very common and overall, whether you're from the south or not, you can easily relate to these character's high school era issues.

Pay attention too for all the little sarcastic cameos. Bone Crusher makes a quick appearance but his one line is LMAO funny. Monica's in it too.
