Suggestions for future edits

[edit]

There is a significant amount of criticism about this movie, and in my view this article could be substantially expanded. As a few suggestions, other editors might consider expanding the article's discussion of some of the film's major themes/issues (such as birth control and pregnancy) and the film's soundtrack (hip-hop mostly by woman artists).

The plot summary should also be overhauled, as it does not match wikipedia style. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geethree (talkcontribs) 03:18, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Categorization as a hood film

[edit]

For anyone questioning whether this film can be categorized as a hood film, on that page's description and on List of hood films, the genre is described as "films focusing on the culture and life of African-Americans, Hispanic Americans, and/or in some cases, Asian Americans living in segregated, low-income urban communities." There is also a scholarly source provided as a reference for the listing of Just Another Girl, which is the book Habitus of the Hood (see pages 255 and 268). Just Another Girl is about a Black girl who lives in a low-income environment and addresses topics like generational poverty, race, etc. This qualifies the film as falling within the genre and its categorization as such should not be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Spectrallights (talkcontribs) 06:48, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
