"Brotherly Love" (Movie Review) (5 out of 5)

    I finally got the chance to watch the movie "Brotherly Love," based off of a communities Philadelphia lifestyle; this movie was also filmed in Philadelphia.  This movie is much better than I anticipated it to be and it features a lot of high profile and upcoming actors such as Keke Palmer, RomeoTeyana Taylor,  Macy Gray (whom is a great actor), Philadelphia native Nafessa Williams (whom also played in the movie "Streets") and Malik Yoba, to name a few of the many actors in this film.
  To sum this movie up without giving you all the tea; this movie is about a Philly neighborhood beef between the high class (well off) residents and the lower class (poor) residents.  The issue is the beef is between these groups of people who live so close to each other and have to share the same things in the same community, such as the school (Overbrook High School), stores and girls. Jackie (Keke Palmer) and her brother Serg (Eric D. Hill Jr.) get caught up in between the beef/war between the two groups in which their older brother June (Cory Hardrict) is the leader of the lower class group.  As a result of the war, Keke and Serg's lives become in danger and putting Serg's hoop dreams and Jackie's intimate relationship with Chris (played by Quincy, P. Diddy's son and is a resident of the higher class) on pause. Serg and Jackie has to decide to either deal with the trials and tribulations of the neighborhood war or give in to peer pressure and desires.
