Beautiful Movie This story is very realistic. It shows that the perfect man (or woman) doesn't necessarily have to be the same skin color as you. I just love a good love story and this one is cute. Kudos to Sanaa Lathan!
Somthing NEW to me! This movie opened my eyes about the Africam-American community! It's NEW and everybody should watch it to educate themselves! Plus the romance is a PLUS, too!
Cute, but no real depth Cute movie with cute characters and a cute script but with no real depth. I'm not sure what the writer or directors were trying to pull off here... if it was the serious tension which often surrounds inter-racial relationships from a black female and white male point of view then something was lost. Everything from the acting to the dialogue was all show and no depth. Still, it was cute... cute people, cute story, cute one liners, cute clothes... cute, cute, cute.
Something Old, New, Blue somethings old, new, borrowed, and blue from the IR world appear in this movie about a relatively wealthy black corporate exec overcoming obstacles as a minority in corporate America, willing to keep an open mind, overlook slights, to keep her dreams alive. The white lead has some limited depth to his role--v. limited, too; unlike the woman, IR is not new to him. Onscreen sex portrayed well, romantically realistic.
Love in Black & White In an era where we are seeing a spate of Tyler Perry taking over the marketplace for African-American comedies, this film is like a breath of fresh air. One can see why Alice Walker recommended it!! Good writing, believeable characters and an appealing duo of Latham & Baker make this one more watchable than any of Perry's movies. You will not see any buffoonery here or stereo-type characters that you would find in Tyler's films. These are sophiscated, urban class characters and for once my intelligence was not insulted!! There have been very few comedies that approach this subject without sensationizing it or being condescending about it (Lee's terrible "Jungle Fever", for instance). No one is a villain in this dramedy--they are only human. This is a perfect film for the Obama-Hillary camp!!
