Robert Townsend doesn't get the credit he deserves
He does not !
@@StruggleReviewzTV baps Carmen a hip hopera the meteor man and his TV show the Parenthood
He def dont, he deserves waaaay more respect
I agree. I would have loved to seen him direct Falcon and Winter Soldier tv series. I bet it would have been even greater.
Alfred Woodard played this part. And deserves an Oscar.
I love love love Alfred Woodard. She is a phenomenal actress ❤
Holiday Heart is a great film! It has a lot of layers and great acting. If it was released today and directed by Ava Duvernay or Barry Jenkins it would be nominated for Oscars.
I saw this once when I was a kid and all I remembered from this movie was "I got the bike!" but when I watched it as an adult I genuinely felt like everybody should see this movie at least once in their life...even with its production quality and unintentional comedy this movie is still absolutely amazing imo
I loved this review. In spite of BET playing it almost every weekend, this movie is still slept on because of the subject matter but it really is a great film. Holiday was an amazing parental figure/friend and I think that's the point, that you don't have to be perfect in society's standards to be a good parent. Wanda was a spot on crackhead and your sucky sucky sound effect....🤣🤣🤣😭
“I am good for it!” 😂😫
Holiday was a kind pure soul
Fun fact: Ving Rhames's performance in Holiday Heart was inspired by well known actor by the name of Jack Lemmon. In 1959, Jack Lemmon did a movie by the name of "Some Like It Hot" with Marilyn Monroe, where he was dressed in Drag the whole movie. Jack Lemmon is one of Ving Rhames Idols growing up and Ving Rhames even went so far as to give Jack Lemmon his golden globe back in the day just to show appreciation to his idol. Jack Lemmon even told Ving Rhames that what he did was the nicest thing anyone has ever done for him. Much Respect to Ving Rhames paying homage to his idol.
@Happy Thoughts why would he do that 😕
@Happy Thoughts Ving Rhames was just paying respects to his idol. He was probably looking up to this man since he was a little kid. If most people don't like what he did, then maybe when they win a golden globe they can take that up with him until then they can just STFU!!
@Happy Thoughts I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about the people that had a problem with what he did with his golden globe when gave it to Jack Lemon. I thought what Ving Rhames was very sweet.
@@rhondarichards3845 spike lee had & issue with it
I like to tell the others that this is a Christmas movie 😂
And is! The bike was a Christmas gift. 🤣
This was a classic movie in my house. The word crack head is a mess up term for people with a serious addiction. Also we have both feminine and masculine energy in use as people and I always like Hoilday character.
"Wanda shit!!! Get the hell out of here!!!"🤣🤦🥴
😭😭😭 Sylus gave me this STUFF!
@@StruggleReviewzTV
"Go next doe!!!"
"He always getting me going."🤣🤦
Me and my sister quote movies all the time and this is one of our favorite ones! We randomly text each other “WARRIOR WOMEN”😂😂
The bike scene with her getting hit cracks me up every single time 😩😩
He looks was giving Patti Labelle lol
This is one of my favorites, it shows how addiction is serious. ❤❤❤❤
I too am not a fan of the agenda of emasculating our men by putting them in dresses. But this range of acting by Ving Rhames is excellent
It would seem hollywood has started making lots of gay characters black women now as well. I am seeing a trend.
@@babytoshiro7014 it is a trend a very bad one too
Exactly.. I never saw anything wrong with him playing this character he did it so well
Girl bye men of all races wear dresses. If they’re gay, they’re gay but doing your job doesn’t make you gay.
I used to watch this movie with my grandma
Girl you have me binging your videos. So glad I found you. I def hit the bell. When it comes to Ving Rhames he is a Julliard trained actor. He played Holiday so well. Yes he was still gay but still whoop yo ass! I had a cousin like Holiday. This movie meant so much to me when it came out. Ving Rhames has the range and that's why he is certified till this day!!!
Girl! The skit at the beginning took me out!😂😂 another great review
Thank You 😊
Sadly, I believe that everyone in the Black Community can relate to these characters, being that Crack has touched every Black person in some way shape or form, either you know someone who is or was a crackhead, someone who sold it, someone who's children were affected by it....etc and so on. Also, you probably know someone gay whether they were a drag queen or not. Yes, gay choir director...stereotype, but usually true.
Great review, Ving Rhames can play any role, he is one great actor, the movie was good, I watched it once, and the director for Holiday Heart also directed one my favorite comedies BAPS
I feel people will complain more about a man playing a gay role than they will gangster shoot em up roles.
True, our community will uplift that over the other.
Exactly.... One of the rappers popped up on my feed checked it out for a second nothing but praises to this guy talking about gangsta sh**🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ it made no sense to me .. but this right here🤦🏾♀️
Y'all love gey shit cause you're homo's
Ma'am!!! This needs a warning, I damn near choked watching this. 🤣🤣🤣 You are funny as hell.
😂😂😂 same
Holiday truly Loved Nicki
Thank you so much this movie was part of my childhood mostly because BET WOULD NOT stop playin it lol but I’m glad I got to see it tho
"And not the good kind of Pipe". 😆😆
😩
I get the emasculating agenda, but I’m this role he was literally playing a very feminine drag queen. I loved the movie and it was honestly the saddest yet funniest movie in my childhood 😂
Honerable mention crackheads: Ezelle (Friday) & Halle Berry in Loosing Isaiah
“Silas gave the stuff!!!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣👌🏽
It didn't occur to me until I thought about it, I think Wanda was using Silas because he had the hook up.
😑 duhhhhh
He should’ve had better sense
There's nothing wrong with this role it's telling a story he ain't like he played this role all the time he always a tuff guy
Not my cup of tea but I'm not one of those people who bash dudes for any role they play. I imagine if you're an actor then you want to show the ability to play a multitude of roles. I want our people to be as free to express themselves artistically as any other people. We tend to bash our folks though. I've never heard anyone bash Robin Williams for playing Mrs. Doubtfire or Dustin Hoffman for playing Tootsie. You hit the nail on the head with the Pulp Fiction role too.
With that said, I couldn't get with this one. It's not that I would never check it out but there are a million other films I would watch before this one. A choice between Holiday Heart and watching Karate Kid for the millionth time and I'm going with Daniel Son. Still a good review though.
Holiday Heart was a movie that both my sister and I enjoyed watching. We have seen it multiple times. Even though it's a drama and more on the serious side we both will recite different lines from the movie and start laughing 😆
We had this movie when I was young. I watched it religiously. I think it's such a good movie. Alfre Woodard is going to always act down and Ving Rhames did a great job.
This was deeeefinitely Different for Ving.. and he still got to knock some folks out😂..
&& Melvin literally said. 'You Know what i see. Lil Jooodie.. lil Joood-EE ! .. i see a scared lil chocolate bitch . If we was on lockdown. Id make you get on ya knees and fix it' 🤡😭.. now that may be a mash up of thee explicit & BET version of thee mini monologue.. but its thee same context nonetheless 😅😭
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I had to pause this video cause you said this nigga really look like the vampire in Brooklyn the leprechaun and Diana Ross all at the same time 😂😂😂
my mom introduced me to this movie very strong movie loved it so much after seeing him from rosewood to this wow alfred needs an Oscar indeed he is one of my favorite actors i remember him in baby boy as well ty wasn't feelin him in baby boy
Everything was okay until Silas comes into the picture and then everything goes downward. The part I like when Holiday tells Wanda off after the confrontation with Silas.
You got me watching this damn movie again! Lolol
We have to go back these are classics ! 😂
This is gonna be AWESOME, can’t wait!!
Happy New Year SR.....I'm currently binge watching your reviews! I'm glad u decided to go thru with reviewing this movie. You are so right...Ving Rhames has played many gay roles, and I guess because he was openly feminine in this one, it was demeaning for his manhood! Just like Alfre, Samuel L and Chris play good crackheads, Ving plays a mean gay man, and these are roles HE chose to play!!!!
12:16 😂😂😂, she could barely hold the roach but got a few puffs from it
Love it !!!! Thanks so much for doing this video 🥰 . Your work is truly appreciated on this side !
Thank so much I’m glad you enjoyed the video! ❤️
Wow you made me love this movie. I'm not sure I want to see this during the holidays but it sounds like a good, emotional movie to look for during the year. Thank you very much❤❤
From the short you shared I KNOW this gonna be good ❤️
Another day, another funny ahh banger review from the gorgeous, funny Struggle Reviewz TV! 😂😍
😂😂😂 Thank You for supporting! ❤️
Still gets me. "I got the bike"? Yes, you got Nicki the bike.
Ving Rhames really have a performance! This movie is jokes, I’m so glad I’m not the only evil person that found the comedy in this drama
Saw this movie before it's was good funny too the ending was sad i enjoy the movie great review love 👍
Thank you !
Wanda: I got the 🏍 bike cracked me up. A**hole!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for sharing!!! You had various great viewpoints and observations that I overlooked. Much Love!!!
Thank You 😊
Also remember his va in Lilo and stitch
I’ve seen people comment on this film who watched it during rehab. They have healing testimonials. It’s good to know this movie hits deeper and is used as a real life lesson for many. Prayers to anyone recovering or who lost a loved one to addiction 🤍🤍
This review was hilarious!😆😆
Thank You ! ❤️💕
🎶My baby love.....my baby love....🎶 "No! No! NO! NOOOOOOO!!!"
I felt that shit...and I've never even been in a relationship.
Loved it
Thank you !
Not very next to Fisher! I love this movie!!
That was a good review.
Thank you ! ❤️
@@StruggleReviewzTV you’re welcome ☺️
I did check it out on TH-cam for free and boy...This movie could have been something good and heartwarming but instead took a weird turn into wacky madness from Wanda. I did like Ving's performance as Holiday and he was trying to make the movie work while it was turning into a silly Lifetime movie with over-the-top antics, Wanda was so funny even though that wasn't the plan for the movie because it was trying to be serious with the Wanda, Niki, and Holiday trying to be a happy family but it just went south thanks to Wanda's druggie craziness that was funny at points.
LOVE LOVE
You compared ving to Leprechaun. You will not see heaven. Lil Nikki still looks the same.
😂😂😂🤣
Lmbooooo
Perfect review 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you ! 💕
Hey struggle the best part is when the mama got on that stuff and you know what I’m mean
Anyone that thinks black men are being emasculated ask yourself this. Why is Robin Williams celebrated for wearing a dress but black men are shamed? The homophobia is real and we as a people really don't notice how much we promote it.
Please don't compare Mrs. Doubtfire to Holiday Heart. Robin Williams puts on dress so he could see his children. Ving Rhames is playing a gay man who dresses in drag and befriends a dysfunctional family. Not the same. Actually, this movie depicts and reinforces a lot of black stereotypes. Not sure why it's even a celebrated movie.
@@tr2404y’all are still being homophobic tho.
i loved this movie. and yes Wanda was a hot-azz mess
This movie was not his best performance at all in my opinion. Is your role that I think you should’ve never played. In my opinion TV series Kojak
But when he played gangster roles it's l good
