More than three decades of “we shall overcome” black movies have made me numb to those stories, so I was initially hesitant to warm up to The Supremes at Earl’s All-You-Can-Eat; however, the characters and relationships are too affectingly familiar to not feel at home. I know every one of these people, from the petty to the pious to the pompous, and Earl’s’ uptempo pace, along with believable performances, keep you hilariously entertained even if it storms through the numerous heavy themes. Led by fabulous turns by Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor and Kyanna Simone, Earl’s is a tale of struggle and sisterhood that warmed my soul.

At its core, The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat is a lighthearted and sentimental film about the strength of friendship. While the story only lightly touches on heavy themes of racism, gender inequality, and adultery, there are several humorous moments that allow you to connect to the tribulations and joys that these characters go through in their lives. As a viewer, you’re able to relate to each of these characters because of the strong and authentic performances from Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Uzo Aduba, and Sanaa Lathan. All in all, Earl’s is a cute gem that feels like a cozy hug.
