This entertaining and fast-paced independent comedy chronicles the lives, loves, ambitions and fears of a group of young actors in Queens. Aspiring actor Rolo (Tropic Thunder's Brandon T. Jackson in his first starring role) feels misunderstood when he reenacts a classic monologue from Menace II Society at a shakespearean acting class, so he enrolls at the smaller Queens theater company. There he meets a mixed bag of dreamers, all confident they've got what it takes to make it in show business, including his best friend Patrick (Lil' Zane) and a Nuyorican hottie named Erma (Adrienne Bailon of "The Cheetah Girls"). When the company's director (Half and Half's Chico Benymon) leaves for a sitcom gig, Rolo is asked to take over and keep everyone's dream alive. But before he can do this, he must overcome some very serious personal obstacles and prove he has what it takes to "cut the mustard." An entertaining and polished debut, writer/director Reed R. McCants' autobiographical feature that was 12 years in the making includes strong ensemble acting from some of our brightest young stars (including a grown-up Keisha Knight Pulliam from The Cosby Show) and solid appearances by Hollywood veterans like Charles S. Dutton and Sinbad. Cuttin' Da Mustard is a smart independent comedy that the whole family will enjoy. The award winning Comedy/Drama Film, "Cuttin Da Mustard" features an impressive all-star cast!
