Hangin' with the Homeboys

1991 · 89 min

A loose, talky night out with friends that drifts between laughs and raw arguments, feeling lived-in and quietly affecting.

Overview
Two African-Americans and two Puerto-Ricans (though one pretends to be Italian) go out on the town on a Friday night. They will be forced to get to know each other — and even worse, learn to like each other as friends.
