 Amazon.ca: Everyday People: DVD: Jim McKay,Ron Butler,Reg E. Cathey,Stephen Henderson,Verno O. Hobson,Stephen ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Everyday People is writer/director Jim McKay's disappointingly pedantic follow-up to the beautifully restrained and naturalistic drama Our Song.
The film does get at the complexity of the issues involved in the closing of a Brooklyn neighborhood restaurant, and there are a couple of interactions between the characters that ring true (including the particularly touching and true-to-life stab at romance between struggling single-mother Joleen [Bridget Barkan] and college-bound Samel [Billah Greene]).
While it's impossible to deny McKay's good intentions, the filmmaker seems more interested in making his political points and subverting stereotypes than in presenting his characters as fully fleshed-out human beings or in telling a believable story.
