I saw "Smoke" and loved it, and had to see this movie, no matter how bad people told me it was. I didn't like any scene with Roseanne in it. In fact, I really didn't like any part pertaining to the plot. I liked the interviews, and all the skits.

I just liked that it gave me a feel of what life is like in Brooklyn, or at least what these people's perception of Brooklyn is. And it was funny. I've been to Brooklyn, but I don't know too much about what life there is like. I'd like to hear what someone from Brooklyn thinks about the movie.,
