"Make yourself at home with the Carmichael family as they experience one very special summer in their Brooklyn nieghborhood that they've affectionately nicknamed "Crooklyn". Renowed director Spike Lee fashions a bold, flavorful picture of family life that People Magazine calls his "most affectionate work." Academy Award nominee Alfre Woodard stars as Carolyn, a loving, but fiercely independent mother who along with her musician husband Woody (Delroy Lindo) struggles to raise her family in difficult but often wonderful circumstances. Complemented by an energizing, vintage R & B soundtrack, this tender, colorful film is a fitting tribute to an American family"--Container.
