Watched Above The Rim for the 30th Anniversary with my 16 year old daughter last night. I've been easing up a bit and showing her more R movies because at her age she's hearing and seeing a grip of **** at school I can't shield her from. Still some of the language and a few Marlon Wayans scenes had me cringing sitting her next to her 
.
I had planned on starting off with Menace or Boyz, into my venture of showing her my favorite hood movies and wasn't quite sure when I was going to break her in but with the anny it seemed like a good time.
She said she enjoyed watching it because she hasn't really seen Tupac in video form she only hears me listen to him all the time since she was little. She had never seen how he moved or talked on camera or anything like that so that was interesting to her. She said the story wasn't really that good nothing grabbed her and made he wonder what was coming, or engaged her enough to make her want to see what was coming or what would happen to any of the characters. She hated Kyle thought he was just a jerk. Explained some of the nuances of his character and how his background plus age could have him react and be so angry all the time she hit me with the yeah that's a reason not an excuse I hit her with the zo shrug and was proud. Her overall opinion was that it was worth seeing just because of my attachment but it looked really outdated and had a weak overall story. Which is fair.
