Morris from America

Streaming video - 2016

A heartwarming and crowd-pleasing coming-of-age comedy with a unique spin, MORRIS FROM AMERICA centers on Morris Gentry, a 13-year-old who has just relocated with his single father, Curtis (Craig Robinson) to Germany. Morris, who fancies himself the next Notorious B.I.G., is a complete fish-out-of-water—a budding hip-hop star in an EDM world. To complicate matters further, Morris quickly falls hard for his cool, rebellious, 15-year-old classmate Katrin. Morris sets out against all odds to take the hip-hop world by storm and win the girl of his dreams. Nominated for Best Supporting Male at the **Film Independent Spirit Awards**.

"*It's a pop confection with a rough..., honest texture, real but not raw and suffused with an infectious sweetness that lingers after the final shot.*" - A.O. Scott, ***The New York Times*** more
