The Wood

(1999)Directed by Rick Famuyiwa106 min · RComedy, Drama, Romance
From boyhood to manhood, you can always count on your best friends.

In the panicky, uncertain hours before his wedding, a groom with prenuptial jitters and his two best friends reminisce about growing up together in the middle-class African-American neighborhood of Inglewood, California. Flashing back to the twenty-something trio's childhood exploits, the memories capture the mood and nostalgia of the '80s era.
