Movie ReviewsA wierd movie!!! 03/16/1999 (4 out of 5 stars) "This movie is like a "gospel" musical. I thought the plot was wierd. It's about a demon, sent by the devil, to ruin a party. In the mean time he falls in love with the the party girl. Atleast, that's what I got out of the movie. The plot is hard to follow. The songs are wonderful, especially the one's sung by Mabel King. The movie also stars Esther Rolle, of Good Times. I recommend this movie, but pay attention or you'll get lost. Pay special attention to the last song, "Smash Em", funny stuff." At Least It's Better than "Sweetback" Andre M. | Mt. Pleasant, SC United States | 01/17/2002 (3 out of 5 stars) "This film does have a strange story about muses who try to destroy a Harlem house party, but wind up getting involved with the participants in the process. However, if there is a soundtrack CD out there, it would be nice because there is some great music in this film. Some nice slice-of life Black Americana is included also, particularly regarding the relationship with Esther Rolle and her niece Rhetta Hughes. Unfortunately, Van Peebles is his usual self, being long on bizarre symbolism that escapes the average viewer (the introduction where he explains the concept of the film is absolutely necessary to understand what's going on). However, as odd as it is, it has some nice moments, good music, and it's at least 75% better than Van Peebles overrated dungheap "Sweet Sweetback.""
