"ATL" was a nice movie. The story will be very familiar to fans of the John Hughes teenage movies in the 1980's like "Pretty in Pink". Except this movie is a John Hughes movie as if it was directed by Spike Lee. The whole demographic was shifted from the white California suburbs to a black Atlanta neighborhood. The story is typical where a poor teenager gets involved with someone from the rich side of the tracks and the clash of classes is examined. The portrayal of a social class other than white Californian suburb was refreshing. The performances were good and I was entertained throughout. I think "ATL" is a good move and is worth a watch.
