  • A lightly enjoyable road picture about a circuitous road to redemption, Black, White and Blues offers simple, down-home pleasures while spinning an undeniably familiar but emotionally satisfying tale.

  • Ripples with the emotions and the saddened circumstances of those gallant and talented folks who sing the blues.

  • As the film's central focal point, Simpson (who also co-wrote the script) is an awful zero â?" you could hardly imagine a more uncharismatic lead â?" and his embarrassing swings at big emotion in the climax prove the final blow to a film already hobbled by mawkishness.
