I don't think this movie deserves to be the worst movie of all time. Because of its awful directing, poor composition and lack of budget (along with lack of known directors and actors) it shouldn't even be listed. If my dad gave me a camcorder for Christmas when I was 12, does that mean that anything I make can be listed on IMDb.com? Exactly, so neither should this movie.What happened to really BAD movies making first? Baby Geniuses 2 and Manos: the Hands of Fate have been pushed back for this crap, and I have yet to see SpiceWorld even coming close to touching this. I'm disappointed.

Stuntwoman and first-time director Lisa France has somehow created an F-word-'free' rap move that works! If you want profanity, just re-rent "8 Mile," but if you'd like to see a highly original rap movie then this is the one to check out. How often do you get to see movies about impoverished teens using historical literature to translate their feelings to others, as well as to fuel their customary outlets of creativity - in this case rap.You can guess how it all ends up but this is still an effective drama and with its mild language a definite must-see for family viewing as well as young aspiring rappers. Literature and rap - who'd a thunk it?

Directorial debut for first time feature film director, Lisa France proves success out of the box. She was able to get an incredible performance out of first time actors young and old. It is not easy for a director to capture the perfect performance, but it's even more of a challenge when working with new talent. Lisa France could very well be the first female director to win an Oscar. I can't wait to see what she has in store for her audience next.

Anne B. Real crosses over every cultural, age, ethnic and religious boundary. Unlike most urban films it challenges the viewer with multi-levels of plot. I haven't seen a film this well composed since "Fresh." It makes you think! Finally! I'm happy to say that the emotional content was there without the typical colorful terms we get with an urban film. The way The Diary of Anne Frank was woven throughout the film was amazingly clever. The music was an extraordinary combination of hip hop and classical composition lending us to both the history of Anne Frank, but at the same time being utterly present to the gritty New York City backdrop. The performances were so real! Carlos Leon was fantastic! People can finally stop referring to him as Madonna's baby's father. He is a talent to be reckoned with. Hat off to the director for getting such extraordinary performances out of newcomers Jnyce Richardson and Jackie Quionnes. Hard to believe it was a first effort by even the director. Photographed beautifully too! Again, hard to imagine it was shot on HD24P- look
