Reviews
SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
kylemmackey So many good looking women in this movie. If you are a swirl guy watch it.
cinmoon2 I loved how the movie showed all different sides of the race issue, racism, reverse racism, how we all black and white try to make the other races uncomfortable like they shouldn't be with another race besides their own. I also happen to be in an interracial relationship, I am white, and he is black. Sometimes it is really hard to be on both sides of it. The white community and the black community act the same towards us...they either love us or hate us. I don't see what the big deal is, I have dated all kinds of different races, i don't see color, I just see a good man! Finally find one that happens to be black. I hate that I have to hear comments from white guys, and the black girls about who I am with. It doesn't happen all the time, but hate it when it does. Society really has to come into the new millennium about it!! I am so glad that there is finally a movie about it all!! loved it...loved it.... loved it!!!!
fierypoeticgirl Very charming movie. I loved all the "natural" acting talent that each character displayed. As Kenya's father tells her, "The boy isn't a Martian, he's just white." He goes on to bring out the main point of this film which is that we're all mixed up no matter race, color, etc. One of the black male characters even says, "It's not about color, it's about the love connection between a man and a woman." A-men! I adore this film. There should be more like it. Every racial point was hit upon too. In one scene, Brian says, "I just need a night off." Later, he realizes that most blacks don't get a night off, and that he should be there to hear her complaints. What is a soul-mate if we cannot share our woes and joys with him/her?
romobley This is a great movie! So typical of the dating world of "Good" African American women looking for a "Good" man to love and love her. I loved how this movie gave light to stepping outside the box. Not only with race, but new things; thinking, adventure. So many times, we get caught up trying to be "acceptable," trying to be what and who we think we should be and miss out on the real beauty of life, love and who we really are. I can go on and on about all the things this movie brought to light; the reality, but I must say it is awesome, and a reminder to me of what's really important. I have witnessed women "selling out" to what we think is ideal and acceptable and live in misery because of all the needs we lack; the attention, the true love, just to have that black man who believe is Mr. Right. Even Kenya's girl in the movie ventured out and fell for a chef. He wasn't her typical suit wearing professional, "on her level," at first sight, but they hit it off, he was good at what he did; loved it and loved her. This is an eye opener for African American women, and I hope my sisters realize that Mr. Perfect is really Mr. Perfect with his minor imperfections (note: verbal and physical abuse among some other things are considered major), but thinking more on the lines of "list preferences" 10 out of 10 is not always or usually "the one."
