ATL (2006)

3.2 out of 5

T.I. did a good job with the acting. He plays an aspiring

cartoon artist who is trying to save money for the future

and keep his little brother out of trouble.  The film looked

cool.  It seemed like this movie was directed by someone

who makes a lot of music videos.  This can be good, but

borderline distracting.  This movie is about going to high

school, meeting blazers, becoming an adult, and

rollerskating in ATL.  The rollerskating scenes were my

favorite.  Big Boi was my favorite actor in this one. He

played the role well.  He was scary and fun.  I think he's

underrated as a actor and a rapper too. I think he's as

good as Andre 3000.  I liked the ending of this movie,

and I really enjoyed T.I.'s song "What You Know". 

Around the time of it's release, I found myself listening

to that song repeatedly when people shocked me and

hurt my feelings because it is an effective mood

shifter.
