Junior's Groove

Junior's Groove is an all-time favorite movie for me.I choose to buy the DVD to share with others. However, I did not know, nor could i find out anywhere on this site, that this was a censured version of the original. Had I known that, I'm not sure I would have made this purchase...probably not fault of the vendor selling.

a another great little film that should be seen by everybody.aka planet of junior brown the actors were always great you will remember this film for a long time,don't miss it

Great independent film with a lot of depth; tells the story of a piano prodigy, whose diabetic mother and crazy piano teacher are so dependent upon that they stifle his growth. The main character must use the creativity his imagination, with the help of friends, to emerge from the ashes of his hopeless existence.

a must see.

some scenes was cut words beeped out

perfect

Haven't seen this in years....This is definitely for us kids who have that special vision & lives on a different "planet" that keeps us grounded throughout the harsh reality of urban/inner-city life.

What a fascinating film is Junior's Groove,somewhat off-beat though but an excellent Canadian production all the same. The story concern's overweight piano prodigy Junior Brown and over protective mom living by themselves,his lesson's with nutter piano teacher and friend's whom watch out for him from the street's called the Planet's. A strange but curious and moving piece,especially the plight of the younger character's struggling from day to day life on the street's and quirky relationship's,Junior tend's to live in a world of his own and that of his music. Wonderfully photographed and good musical score and sensitive direction by Clement Virgo plus solid performances by all cast Lynn Whitfield as Jnr's mom,Margot Kidder fabulous as the nutty teacher and the young less-known actors Martin Villafana,Rainbow Sun Francks,Clark Johnson ,Sarah Polley and Richard Chevolleau all deserved of mention for the realistic true to life portrayal's of their respective character's made this film and story a joy to watch,it's now a favorite of mine I don't regret purchasing it from Amazon.com however it's not mainstream and won't appeal to masses I suspect but highly worthy of a viewing if you appreciate cinema originality. Based on book Planet of Junior Brown.

This DVD is edited for content. The swearing has all been bleeped out. I don't know if anything else was done.
