Plot Summary
Make yourself at home with the Carmichael family as they experience one very special summer in their Brooklyn neighborhood that they've affectionately nicknamed "Crooklyn". Renowned 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 (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.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: It's the first Spike Lee film with the potential to be turned into a television show. More important, it's the first one to display real warmth of heart.
Fresh: This remarkable movie will haunt you for a good long time.
Rotten: Lee is a great self-promoter. After all his press releases and all his interviews, we are given films that are sketchy, unfelt and distancing -- incidents in Lee's career, the only drama that really interests him.
Fresh: Modulating from heavy to light, from angry to lyrical, and so on, the movie's an enjoyable, emotional symphony.
