LA to Oakland is only 6 hours at best, but I guess that's all it took for Justice and Lucky to catch a vibe 😒

I love how Justice's outfits represent how she feels. At the beginning she wears yellow cause she's happy. She wears black cause she's in mourning and the blue shirt for most of the movie because she's sad. Then at the end of the movie she's wearing white because she's whole again.

I don’t think if anyone’s pretty observant of this film, but I noticed that while Chicago and Iesha were linked romantically, Lucky and Justice had a mutual dislike for each other and when the pair started getting along, growing closer in the process, both Chicago and Iesha started growing further and further apart.

Janet really shows off her acting skills in this movie, and I sometimes wonder why she didn’t get the chance to lead more films. She is a music icon today, but some people forget that she started her acting career years before she recorded her first album (who remembers Penny from “Good Times”?). She has accomplished so much as an artist/entertainer, but I believe her biggest accomplishment is overcoming the challenges of being the kid sister of the biggest pop star on the planet, coming from a famous music family, and still managing to build her own separate, successful career with her own identity.

I know people would come for me for saying this, but it’s genuinely hard for me to feel bad for Iesha, judging by the way she was tearing into Chicago to the point where she was even went as far as to emasculated him. However, I don’t feel bad for Chicago either because instead of simply choosing to break up with her and move on, he chose to put his hands on her. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

My interpretation of what's going on with Haywood in the eyes of my 37 year old Gay Hispanic self is that he found he is HIV positive and became bitchy with his lover (who may have exposed him to it) at the salon afterwards but they reconcile by the end of the film. That's what I think his vital phone call was about. 🌈

Jessie is one of my favorite characters in the film. She was on point about Justice making bad choices in men and gave pretty good advice even though it was unsolicited advice. As cute as Lucky is, he's got a lot of baggage that I personally wouldn't want to deal with in a partner. The ending of the movie is cute, but I can only imagine the drama that Justice would have to deal with getting involved with Lucky after the credits rolled.

Poetic Justice is that film that I can watch repeatedly. Love the 90's tone, the vibe, poems, and fashion. It's became a comfort movie. I kind of question if Lucky and Justice could have been friends rather than more. The way Lucky called her out of her name, wasn't feeling it. I don't think it's possible to have two lead characters just be friends (it wasn't really done like that back then).

Being that this was during the AIDS epidemic. I think Haywood got the call that he’s hiv positive. Also his mood shifted so quickly. Could be that. Or his lover passed from it. They couldn’t outright say it but definitely related to the epidemic

I always hear Riley when I hear Regina too. After she voiced the characters for Boondocks those voices are prominent when I see her in movies.

As a kid I could never get attached to this movie because even as a child I saw that her boyfriend was clearly a fuckboy and trash. They didn't do a good enough job for me fleshing out the "love" they felt for eachother particularly him. So when he died I just said 😐. And honestly, I always thought of Tupac was not in the movie, this movie would be forgotten because let's be honest...The movie is just ok.

I just came home from the movies and will watch after I take my exam. How DRASTICALLY perspectives change when you are older and realize what happened and transpired. I was in elementary 🏫 when this came out and looking back, so MUCH dysfunction and more.

Omg! I’m so happy you did a review on Poetic Justice! 😍😍😍 I would have loved to be at that hair salon, the drama!!! That road trip was a hot mess & they took all day! I hollered when you looked up the driving distance from LA to Oakland, Chile. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 This movie will never get old to me, I may watch it again tonight! Thank you for this review! ❤❤❤

From the looks of it, they took the PCH from Justice's house to Oakland. It adds about 2 hours or so to the trip.

Happy Birthday For the Nostalgia 🥳 🎂 When I was younger, I wanted to be Justice with her iconic braids ponytail and white bandanna and wear her jersey and visor beret cap. This video took me down memory lane.

In all respect to the icon Janet Jackson , she really struggled saying the curse words the venom the pissed off vibes of Justice - I think she should have been recast- and where me out Jada Pinkett -she would have been so believable in that role she played that Type of character on Different world. Janet just was struggling . She’s beautiful in the movie her look is iconic and she montage scene is lovely but she is struggling maybe it was on John Singleton why she didn’t come across as believable it’s on a good director to support you and maybe he was in awe of an icon but I say Jada would have killed this part . Or Queen Latifah.

I know it's a movie and a fictional story, in real life since the post office is a govt job the truck is govt property. Had the boys gotten caught with girls in there it would result in a suspension or termination

Why was I just saying the opp that you zoomed in on was fine as hell too LMAOOOO and I instantly recognized him as the dude who killed Ricky from Boyz N the Hood. And to find out this man was killed on my 5th birthday is wild asf.

Your explanation of the motivation for Chicago's hateration just added SO much depth to a seriously shallow character, for me... Well Done! 🏆💕

Underrated representation at the time. Even though it was heavily carried by the guys too, not too many ‘grounded’ Black women lead movies at the time. Makes you wonder what it paved the way for…

Wasnt the theory that haywood got a call about his “diagnosis” during that call? Idk if thats true but i saw it alot on tumblr back in the day and it wad the 90s and Janet and a few of the cast also wore the red ribbons on the red carpet
