I love how Justice's outfits represent how she feels. At the beginning she wears yellow cause she's happy. She wears black cause she's in mourning and the blue shirt for most of the movie because she's sad. Then at the end of the movie she's wearing white because she's whole again.

I don’t think if anyone’s pretty observant of this film, but I noticed that while Chicago and Iesha were linked romantically, Lucky and Justice had a mutual dislike for each other and when the pair started getting along, growing closer in the process, both Chicago and Iesha started growing further and further apart.

For years I assumed that Heywood was told on the phone that either a partner was tested positive for HIV or he received an HIV positive diagnosis from a doctor over the phone.

Janet really shows off her acting skills in this movie, and I sometimes wonder why she didn’t get the chance to lead more films. She is a music icon today, but some people forget that she started her acting career years before she recorded her first album (who remembers Penny from “Good Times”?). She has accomplished so much as an artist/entertainer, but I believe her biggest accomplishment is overcoming the challenges of being the kid sister of the biggest pop star on the planet, coming from a famous music family, and still managing to build her own separate, successful career with her own identity.

I know "Brush that weak ass fade" hurt his soul🤣🤣I was happy asf when Pac tossed that bs

I understand why justice was behaving like that because of suffering so many loss and trauma in her life it hardens her

My interpretation of what's going on with Haywood in the eyes of my 37 year old Gay Hispanic self is that he found he is HIV positive and became bitchy with his lover (who may have exposed him to it) at the salon afterwards but they reconcile by the end of the film. That's what I think his vital phone call was about. 🌈

I know people would come for me for saying this, but it’s genuinely hard for me to feel bad for Iesha, judging by the way she was tearing into Chicago to the point where she was even went as far as to emasculated him. However, I don’t feel bad for Chicago either because instead of simply choosing to break up with her and move on, he chose to put his hands on her. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

Jessie is one of my favorite characters in the film. She was on point about Justice making bad choices in men and gave pretty good advice even though it was unsolicited advice. As cute as Lucky is, he's got a lot of baggage that I personally wouldn't want to deal with in a partner.

I don't think it's possible to have two lead characters just be friends (it wasn't really done like that back then).

This film wasn’t my favorite classic film but watching your recap made me change my mind on it. As always very good review.

Being that this was during the AIDS epidemic. I think Haywood got the call that he’s hiv positive. Also his mood shifted so quickly. Could be that. Or his lover passed from it. They couldn’t outright say it but definitely related to the epidemic

As a kid I could never get attached to this movie because even as a child I saw that her boyfriend was clearly a fuckboy and trash. They didn't do a good enough job for me fleshing out the "love" they felt for eachother particularly him. So when he died I just said 😐. And honestly, I always thought of Tupac was not in the movie, this movie would be forgotten because let's be honest...The movie is just ok.

From the looks of it, they took the PCH from Justice's house to Oakland. It adds about 2 hours or so to the trip.

I may have commented before on how much I love this movie. I’m watching it right now and I don’t think anyone in this movie realized how traumatized Justice was. She witnessed her boyfriend being unalived and her mother was an alcoholic. She may have had some type of depression & exhaustion from all the unalive-ings around her. Her friends mean well but urging her to get w/ a man to get over her loss wasn’t gonna help her through her grief. They should’ve just let her have her moments and let her process it.

In all respect to the icon Janet Jackson , she really struggled saying the curse words the venom the pissed off vibes of Justice - I think she should have been recast- and where me out Jada Pinkett -she would have been so believable in that role she played that Type of character on Different world. Janet just was struggling . She’s beautiful in the movie her look is iconic and she montage scene is lovely but she is struggling maybe it was on John Singleton why she didn’t come across as believable it’s on a good director to support you and maybe he was in awe of an icon but I say Jada would have killed this part .

Omg! I’m so happy you did a review on Poetic Justice! 😍😍😍 I would have loved to be at that hair salon, the drama!!! That road trip was a hot mess & they took all day! I hollered when you looked up the driving distance from LA to Oakland, Chile. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 This movie will never get old to me, I may watch it again tonight! Thank you for this review! ❤❤❤

- To this day, I'll make a quip about the Snooty Fox Motor Inn...tell me why I didn't know that was a real place until I was grown! - Can we talk about how Janet did 90% of this film with those ratty-ass braids? "Girl, gimme my hat back - I got new growth!" That's dedication right there. - "I'M IN THE UNION!" takes me out every time. - I'd like to think that L&J would have stayed together. We see how Justice is with kids (despite her saying she didn't want any), and I could see her being a great stepmother. Lucky had a government job and was a good father, so he had his head on straight. I could see them getting married in time and starting a family. They'd be that old L.A. couple that the neighborhood respects.

Hah...I remember when I first saw the Snooty Fox when I moved to LA. When you need a room for just an hour.......

Wasnt the theory that haywood got a call about his “diagnosis” during that call? Idk if thats true but i saw it alot on tumblr back in the day and it wad the 90s and Janet and a few of the cast also wore the red ribbons on the red carpet

I love this movie, John Singleton was very talented in making films. Oh , dude in the salon scene looking like a bootleg Puffy Combs 😂😂

This is one of my favorite movies and it just clicked for me why she blew in Lucky's face. Too petty 🤣🤣

Tupac is my Idol and was a huge inspiration to me!🥰I was so young when he passed. But He was so Intelligent and Multi dimensional🫶🏽May he rest in everlasting Peace💗🥹✨

We are blessed once again wit a new video🙏🏾🙌🏾

Sis you came back with that HEAT okay 😂😂😂 this used to be my movie!!!

This was fun to watch/listen to. Subbed ❤

One of my top favorite romance films of all time ❤❤❤😍😍🥰🥰. Congratulations on the 30th Anniversary of Poetic Justice.

My mom grew up exposing us to Hood movies. I grew up watching this on VHS everyday. I found out Maya Angelou did the poems to this film in High School reading her poems in Class. I love this

I absolutely love your videos! I be checking daily to see if there is a new upload! For me, you are greatly appreciated!

Happy birthday and love your reviews on my favorite poetic justice
