This movie has an A in my book. An amazing, classic Spike Lee joint. I think Spike Lee always knows how to draw an audience in using comedy, and hits them with very blatant, hard to discuss (but necessary) topics.
The movie is tied together very well. The ending scenes especially paint the picture for viewers to understand the status of America’s racial climate. I don’t think anyone walking into a Spike Lee film should be surprised at the level of honesty that the film tells, or the trueness the actors bring to the film’s characters.

About the Peetimes
This movie had an amazing mix of comedic and serious scenes.
Spike Lee does a great job at distinguishing what scenes are meant for laughter and what scenes are meant for silence.
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
This is a great app. I wish more people would support it
This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let's you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It's really a wonderful app. I've subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn't seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven't tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!
Developers note: RunPee doesn't make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We'll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.

Though not easy, I was able to get 4 Peetimes throughout the movie.
Watching movies in theaters is an indescribable experience for me. This, doing laundry, and visiting the Container Store bring me true joy. When I’m not watching movies or getting Peetimes, I like keeping up with the latest technology, learning to code, and building things. Career wise, my passion lies with improving access and equity within the health, tech, and social sectors.
