Description

When Tony Lip, a bouncer from an Italian-American neighborhood in the Bronx, is hired to drive Dr. Don Shirley, a world-class Black pianist, on a concert tour from Manhattan to the Deep South, they must rely on The Green Book to guide them to the few establishments that were then safe for African-Americans. Confronted with racism, danger, as well as unexpected humanity and humor, they are forced to set aside differences to survive and thrive on the journey of a lifetime. Inspired by a true friendship.

Surprisingly enjoyable. When I first heard about this film I wasn't attracted to seeing it but reviews were good and that it was "feelgood" meant I changed my mind. It was entertaining and not too miserable whilst indeed having a feelgood end.
