now go home and get your fuckin shine box!
Seriously, it's almost like an exact copy of boyz in da hood
shareExcept the dead kid failed his postal exam while the dead football kid in "Boyz" passed his SAT's and was college-bound.
But overall, I really didn't get that kind of "Boyz" vibe from "Brooklyn Rules". Sure, it has a couple points that have a vague similarity. But an "exact copy" of it? I would definitely disagree with that assessment.
My "#3" key is broken so I'm putting one here so i can cut & paste with it.
