Is A Good Man Hard to Find?

ASSI - A number of Black Film makers are producing straight to video films that feature an all Black Cast. Film maker Leslie Small is the director and screen writer of A Good Man is Hard to Find featuring Darrin Dewitt Hanson, Golden Brooks, Hill Harper, Deborah Cox, Darius McCray, Mel Jackson, and Rachael Nicks. The film is based on the musical stage play written by David Payton of the same name that follow the lives of three women who are faced with personal and spiritual challenges while trying to manage romantic relationships. Clarence played by Darrin Dewitt Hanson is married to Rachel played by Golden Brooks a successful business woman who makes more financially than Clarence a mechanic and Deacon who is more married to the Church than his wife, which is a twist because most women dedicate most of their time and energy to the Church and neglect the family. Charlene played by Deborah Cox is married to Bruce played by Darius McCray who is a womanizer, abuse alcohol and his woman, who is dedicated and loyal to her marriage but struggling with staying with Bruce. Mr. Hill Harper plays Damion Marshall a charismatic business man who flaunts is wealth to attract women until his advances toward Rachel and Chantel played by Rachel Nicks cause problems. A Good Man Is Hard to Find is a realistic film that deals with the daily struggles that most relationships endure. I will watch this film again it is an exciting dramedy that is more than a chick flick it is a film for young adults, adults, males, females and all races. I am unfamiliar with the play but the movie was well written, directed, and the actors who are all attractive delivered their parts. As I see it A Good Man is Hard to Find is a good film that is worth viewing and I give it 4.5 blinks.
