Plot Summary: The feature is an expansion of Dee Rees' short film of the same name, which screened at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. Adepero Oduye, who had starred in the short film, portrays Alike (pronounced "ah-lee-kay"), a 17-year-old African-American woman who lives with her parents (Kim Wayans and Charles Parnell) and younger sister (Sahra Mallesse) in Brooklyn's Fort Greene neighborhood. Alike is quietly but firmly embracing her identity as a lesbian. With the support of her best friend Laura (Pernell Walker), she is especially eager to find a girlfriend. Wondering how much she can confide in her family, Alike strives to get through adolescence with grace, humor, and tenacity – sometimes succeeding, sometimes not, but always moving forward.

I haven't seen this movie. I really like your post but I don't find the movie much interesting. Its not the kind of movie I am looking for. I don't get nice reviews about this movie but I want to watch trailer of the movie.
