Profile of The Wood
The Wood can be described as bittersweet, sentimental, and touching. The plot revolves around weddings, partners, and coming of age. The main genres are drama, comedy, and romance. In terms of style, The Wood involves multiple stories and includes a voice over. In approach, it is realistic. It is set, at least in part, in the suburbs and at a high school. The Wood is located in California. It takes place in the 1980s. It is well suited for a date night.
Summary of The Wood
A mere three hours before he's scheduled to walk down the aisle, Roland (Taye Diggs--the man who helped Stella reclaim her groove) gets cold feet. Now it's up to his best buddies Slim (Richard T. Jones) and Mike (Omar Epps) to ease his pre-nuptial jitters and get him to the church on time--a task that inspires a trip down memory lane to their coming-of-age days in "The Wood" (Inglewood, California) during the 1980s.
