This film showed folks with different likes, professional interests and demeanors able to work together when it's necessary. I was saddened that the film was rated R. I wish the language could have been changed to accommodate a better rating. This film could have easily been a beautiful family film that I would have taken my 8 year old. I wish the producers would be brave enough to edit to reach a different audience. Some of the writing was basic, no one got killed and some of the jokes were corny which is why I was shocked that it was given an R rating. I did enjoy the film because life is tough enough and seeing all those fine men was really refreshing. Cool Khalil Kain, Fine Flex Alexander and Titilating Tyson Beckford! Kudos to the casting director! I enjoyed the many familiar faces.

refreshingly nice film
Never runs out of gas, a wonderful story from south Los Angeles
On the south side of Los Angeles, a gas station owner dies. His business is a lifeline for the neighborhood, being part service station and part general store. After the funeral, the grieving mother tells her two equally sad sons the contents of dad's will. The two siblings, Will (Art Evans) and Mookie (Khalil Kain) are partners of the station, for at least one year. But, this is bad news, they both think! That's because the bros don't get along, Mookie having set up his brother at the scene of a minor crime long ago. Minor, yes, but it caused fall-guy Will to lose a scholarship. Bad blood has flowed ever since. Will worked his way to a business degree and new home in San Diego while Mookie remained at the station. How will these two work side by side? Further, a short time later, their mother needs an expensive operation and has no insurance. The brothers must deal with a Korean businessman for a loan. But, if they cannot repay it, they will LOSE the station for good. Complicating matters even more are two women. One is the attractive daughter of the Korean gentleman while the other is a beautiful preacher-lady of the neighborhood. So, what will the future hold for the two brothers? This is a thoughtful film which also has plenty of humor. Many secondary characters provide the comic relief while Evans and Kain offer more dramatic turns. Viewers will enjoy, also, the sets, costumes, story and direction. Go, fill up your evening with Gas!
