The Wood
1999 · 1h 46m · Comedy, Drama, Romance · United States of America · Rated R (US)
From boyhood to manhood, you can always count on your best friends.
In the panicky, uncertain hours before his wedding, a groom with prenuptial jitters and his two best friends reminisce about growing up together in the middle-class African-American neighborhood of Inglewood, California. Flashing back to the twenty-something trio's childhood exploits, the memories capture the mood and nostalgia of the '80s era.
