Feel-Good Formula Movie
It's clear that this movie isn't going to win any awards, but if you want a simple formula movie, Strictly Business is good way to spend an hour and a half. I read Leonard Maltin's review and its strikes me as funny that he would even mention anything having to do with money or how easy it is to make. Did anyone question the reality of Richard Gere marrying a street prostitute in Pretty Woman? Or how easy it was for Forrest Gump to turn his simple boating enterprise into an empire with holdings in Apple? Let's be careful about how and why we evalute the "realism" in movies. Strictly Business is a mildly entertaining, 2-star movie, that is as realistic and complex as a 2-star movie can be.

PERIOD PIECE
Yeah Strictly Business is a period piece. A lot of these types of movies with young black stars were being made then. Of course it's not a GREAT movie. Was it meant to be? I recall going to see it at the movies with some of my boys. It was very enjoyable at the time and very fun. Halle was a relative newcomer then and we all thought she was fly. Just a fun feel good movie.

Halle Berry Was The Bomb.....
I watched this movie and was totally into it from the start! I love the characters so much and how well they interact together... I even had to stare when Halle Berry was dancing at the club... and I was in total awe and had to say Go... Natalie...Go Natalie...which is the name of her character in this movie... My favorite part had to been when Waymon has to get her back...and his homeboy says.."Hope he brought his knee pads!" So how romantic was that...I love this cause Natalie has a dream to be a club owner....and that is something that I have been wanting to do for a long time now :)
