Rating:  - Don't Be Fooled By The Title - This Is One Powerful Movie
"Dancing in September" is one of those movies that comes up from your blind-side and knocks you to your knees. This movie has to be one of the most realistic, well written, acted, and powerful character development studies in a long, long time. I rented this movie, thinking I was getting a 'flick', just something to chill out to, y'know, you're typical feel good movie on par with "Love Jones", "Soul Food", "While You Were Sleeping" etc. A romantic comedy. Whew! *Whistles* Was I mistaken, but ... Read More

I found Dancing in September to be an excellent film. The writing was first rate and the acting was equally as good. I have been following Isaiah Washington's career from ... Read More

DANCING IN SEPTEMBER is the long-form directing debut of Reggie Rock Bythewood, writer of GET ON THE BUS. Although the film had its world premiere at the 2000 Hollywood Black Film Festival, it was not widely seen until it premiered on HBO a year later.
The film tells the story of Tommy Crawford (Nicole Ari Parker of TV's "Soul Food"), a staff writer on a television sitcom. When she dares speak her mind at a story meeting, the executive producer's fragile ego is bruised and Tommy abruptly gets the ... Read More
