3/4  Something New
A strong, smart, and independent African-American woman being portrayed with such grace on screen is something new indeed. Even though it's a small film, I really enjoyed its subject matter: intersectionality of class, race, gender, and se... (read full)

5/5 A ROMANTIC PLEASURE
  by Belinda Miller (South, Holland, Il.USA)
I loved this movie. I had seen it before and am a big fan of Sanaa Latham (probably spelled wrong). Anyway, it is for any one that enjoys romantic or chick flick movies. I decided that once was not enough for me so I decided to buy it. I enjoy buying movies from Amazon because you can find just about any movie ever made and I have always received them promptly.

5/5 sweet and funny
  by Judy Yao (Redondo Beach, CA USA)
This film isn't just about racial opposites being attracted to each other but opposites in careers and outlook on life. Kenya is an uptight black woman who is about to be made partner at her law firm but who still fights to prove that she can do the job and Brian is a white 'landscape architect' who is about as laid back as they come. Sanaa Lathan and Simon Baker are perfectly casted as the couple whose mutual attraction grows despite some rocky moments. The supporting characters, especially Kenya's girlfriends, are hilarious as they watch their friend changing for the better. It's only unfortunate that we never see the reactions of Brian's family and friends. As their relationship heats up, Kenya retreats and starts dating a black man (Blair Underwood )who is the 'safe' choice. But in the end will love ultimately triumph?

4/5 Lacks romantic punch

I liked this movie enough the first time I saw it to buy a copy of the DVD here on Amazon. There's something about the movie that makes you like it even though almost nothing in the movie is very well-developed. You feel like you hardly get to know the characters or their surroundings very well, and the main romantic pairing seems a little forced, but in spite of that, most of the characters and the settings are pleasant and comfortable enough to make this a relatively enjoyable movie. I felt that at points, the racial issues were a bit forced and tiresome, but in the end it all sort of works out in a happy way. I wish the Kenya character would have had a bit more obvious attraction than just looks for the Brian character. She never seems to be anything other than a stressed, reclusive hard-charger. It's kind of tough to imagine what the Brian character sees in her, and when they end up together, it seems a little forced. Other than that, this is a pretty good movie that's enjoyable to watch.
