Entertainment Reviews:
[S]ensitive and surprising....[Common] has the acting skills to suggest the emotional turmoil beneath Vincent’s cool, always-in-control demeanor.
New York Times
Rating: 6.9/10 --
A woefully contrived tale of delinquent father-figures and inescapable pasts, but it succeeds as a platform for its excellent cast to exhibit their masterful acting skills.

Way Too Indie
Rating: C+ --
Director-co-writer Sheldon Candis stretches a lot of the time, a romantic story seems to have been cut drastically, and the film's climax is far too typical.

Charismatic actors can only do so much with lackluster writing and poor plotting.

When Rainey Jr. and Common get into their screaming matches, it's powerful stuff.

Rating: 2.5/5 --
A Baltimore set coming-of-age tale that, for the most part, is quite compelling, though due to some glaring implausible moments, loses significant steam by the closing credits.

Rating: 2/5 --
What begins as a promising peek into the tragic cycle of waylaid promise that's crippling broken inner-city families is itself dispiritingly pulled sideways in the Baltimore-set indie "LUV."

Product Description:
An 11-year-old boy joins his ex-con uncle in attempting to go legit, and finds his transition into manhood hastened after their ambitious endeavor fails to take shape. Ever since Woody's mother went missing, the impressionable young boy has lived with his grandmother and his Uncle Vincent (Common). Recently paroled after nearly a decade in the penitentiary, Vincent walks with a swagger that captivates his young nephew, who currently teeters on the precarious cusp of adolescence. Eager to become the male role model that Woody (Michael Rainey Jr.) so desperately needs, Vincent offers the young boy the opportunity to join him in starting his own business. Unfortunately for Vincent, it just wasn't meant to be. Later, when Vincent's nefarious former boss Mr. Fish (Dennis Haysbert) enters the picture, young Woody is forced to grow up before his time. Danny Glover, and Charles S. Dutton also star.
