Spike Lee's semiautobiographical, 1994 film about the good and bad times for a Brooklyn family in the '70s has passion and nostalgic good feeling, but it is also a mess of random reflections and arbitrary storytelling. The centerpiece of the movie is a little girl (Zelda Harris) who views the ups and downs of her parents' experiences (mom and dad are played by Delroy Lindo and Alfre Woodard), and who navigates the life of her neighborhood. Lee tosses in a lot of '70s detail (watching The Partridge Family) and other diversions (Harris's journey through suburbia), but he has no master sensibility controlling the flow of it all. The film is more wearying than anything, although bright spots include Lindo's fine performance as a talented man suffering from irrelevance.

Synopsis
Told through the eyes a young girl, this story of one summer in Brooklyn captures a sliver of childhood. The only sister in a family full of boys, Troy Carmichael has to be strong, smart and quick with her fists if necessary. Though they argue more than they talk, the Carmichaels draw from a deep well of love for one another. In the course of the summer, Troy weathers her parents' separation and reconciliation, a wild visit down South and a personal tragedy. Seeped in 70's nostalgia, this film highlights the events, large and small, that dotted one girl's journey from childhood to womanhood.
