Product Description
Newcomer Ariyan Johnson delivers a critically acclaimed performance as a spirited Brooklyn teenager coping with life in the projects, and sustained by her fierce desire to go to college and become a doctor. Just Another Girl On The I.R.T. - the writing and directorial debut of up-and-coming black woman filmmaker Leslie Harris- is a sharp, sassy blend of comedy and drama in the tradition of Spike Lee that speaks with a fresh new voice all its own.

Sassy, in-your-face account of an intelligent, flippant Brooklyn girl who lives in the projects and dreams of college. Ariyan Johnson is captivating as the teen with attitude and a brain, but she cannot decide which should guide her. She wants a better life but finds herself taking a very hard road. First-time writer/director Leslie Harris put together a sharp, realistic, very funny account of life for a young black woman. It is rough around the edges, however, and is definitely hampered by the minuscule budget. This may not always be pretty, but it is consistently interesting. --Rochelle O'Gorman

TOUCHING AND INSPIRING MOVIE!!!!!!!!.......2007-06-11

Do not buy this movie unless you are ready for a deep moving documentary! My mom rented this movie for me one night several years ago when I was a teenager living in NY. After viewing the movie I quickly ordered it from Blockbuster on VHS. I cried several times while watching this movie not because it's sad but because it touched me. It had everything a good movie should have laughter, sadness, excitement, happiness and most importantly LOVE! I give this movie 10 stars!!! :) I can't wait to buy this movie on DVD! It is a very inspiring story and there is never a dull moment. It is a very well done independent film that speaks to anyone who has gone through any kind of struggles in life. This movie is about achieving your dreams and reaching your goals despite hurdles and mountains that come in your way. It also shows growth and maturity in the life of a young woman. I highly recommend this movie to everyone especially youth and teens.

great movie.......2006-04-15

I first saw this movie 10 years ago, I was happy to see it made it to dvd. This a great movie to watch with your teenagers. To bad there aren't more movies like this one. Chantel was a typical teenager who had alot of dreams to become a doctor but she got pregnant. This movie really sends a message to parents with young daughter Chantel's age. We really need to talk to our children, instead of young girls doing what Chantel did they can go to there parents to talk about it.

I loved this movie, I wish it had full nudity.......2005-10-23

I saw this movie only once ten years ago and fell in love with it. I thought it was well acted and I could relate to Chantell's character. I love the music and I just loved the movie I knew every word by heart. All the things this girl goes through. Chantell deals with trying to live a life of her own but also having to take responsibility for her family life as well. She wanted her baby to be thrown in the trash. She always talks about going to college but with her additude she won't go anywhere.

It's ashamed that Ariyan A. Johnson is a forgotten about actress, she's a wash-up has-been.

Something to think about.......2004-06-09

This movie really made you open your eyes and think about the consequences of sex. I saw it 10 years ago when I was sixteen and the movie really made me think twice about having sex. I just wish someone would make a movie like that in 2004 about
HIV/AIDS since people in the African-American community don't believe it can happen to them.

This is a movie all young girls should see.......2004-05-27

This movie was a great movie and in showing how young african-amercian girls try to live in the fast-lane and not think about the consequences that come with that lifestyle. Although this movie is older, it surely depics what's going on in present day society. I strongly reccommand this movie.
