Customer Reviews of Good Fences
Never thought I'd see the day... When whoopie goldberg and danny glover play in another movie together after the Color Purple. When I saw this movie on Showtime, and I saw those two in the same scene, I fell out laughing cause all I kept thinkin' about was the Color Purple... "You cut me, and I'll kill ya!!"... "You told Harpo to beat me"... LOL. But once I got over it and I actually sat down and watched the movie, I knew it was one of those movies I had to have in my DVD collection. This movie is not only funny, but it's very powerful. And I want everyone to go out and buy this movie or watch it on Showtime. You won't be dissapointed.

First let me state that despite the back of case description this movie is not a comedy. It does have its funny moments but comedy it is not. Set mainly in the 70's, this is the story of the Spaders, a black family that's movin on up. The father, aptly named Tom, is a promising lawyer who is driven to prove that he and his family are every bit as good, if not better than white people. As they get richer, and move into, and up in the affluent white world, they gradually become that which they hated, vapid, spoiled, stuck up bigots. The only family member who seems mainly unaffected is the son, Tommy 2. The film is sad, moving and disturbing. The direction is superb and the actors give powerful performances, with Whoopie Goldberg really standing out with her portrayal of a housewife increasingly trapped, isolated and alienated in a world in which she both belongs and dosn't belong.
