We've been keeping tabs on today's movie for a while -- either a couple years or a couple decades, depending on how you count it. To discuss the movie musical adaptation of the stage musical adaptation of the movie adaptation of Alice Walker's classic novel, we brought in Tre'vell Anderson, noted Fantasia Barrino expert (and also a journalist, author, critic and expert in other things).
