Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
SnoopyStyle In Brooklyn, Nola Darling dislikes commitment and she has three lovers at the same time. Jamie Overstreet is sweet and looking for a lifelong companion. Greer Childs is a self-obsessed model. Mars Blackmon (Spike Lee) is a loud-mouth childman. Nola, her friends and family narrate the movie talking directly into the camera. Opal Gilstrap is a lesbian who likes Nola. Her free-love policy runs into trouble when the three men discover each other's relationship with Nola.This is Spike Lee's first full-length feature as a writer/director and he is also a major supporting actor. This announces the arrival of a new American cinematic voice. It's inventive and different. Sure the actors are mostly amateurs but everybody has a good charismatic energy. Spike Lee is bringing a lot of different elements into this movie. Most impressively, he has turned the normal sexual relationship between man and woman upside-down. It is a great debut and an imaginative indie.
newbaby76 This movie is a classic. It came out 3 months before I was born. It got to come out on DVD. I love the music. Especially, the scene where it was in color when the dancer dance to "Nola's Tune." I see the movie whenever it comes on TV. I cannot believe that with a budget of $175,000,this movie made $7 million. I wish this movie was out on DVD so I can buy it and watch it as many times I want to. My least favorite characters in the were Greer Childs and Mars Blackmon. When Greer and Nola were about to have sex, he folded his clothes. Mars was just plain annoying. I do not know any woman who would invite the men she is sleeping with to Thanksgiving dinner. Out of the Spike Lee films, how come this one is not out on DVD yet.
brianortiz A lot of people have probably not heard of this movie but since Spike went on to become world renowned, A few more might get to view this jewel in their lifetime.Spike is one of those iconic NYU students that created one of the funniest characters "Mars Blackman"."She's gotta have it"... Created on an NYU budget, Filmed in Manhattan & Brooklyn, a psychological comedy about a women named "Nola" that dates three men for different meanings.This film is really a Spike Lee jewel(if can track down the movie) IT'S A MUST SEE !!!Spike is one of the most prolific artist of our time, thus "Do the right thing"
usbobcat Spike Lee's directoral debut is classic. How can he go wrong with a black and white film... BW is the best. This film is made up of great characters(Mars) and perfect, orginal direction. I think Spike did a great job with the editing too.. oh I almost forgot his screen debut as and actor too, which was perfect as well. A smile came to my face every time Mars came in the mix, especially the Thanksgiving scene. I love those glasses Spike. 9/10
