Movie Reviews of Brown Sugar
Movie Review: I loved this movie!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Brown Sugar is one the "classics" that I watch over and over again. You have to love hip in order to truly love this dvd. The movie starts off with comentary from old skool hiphop artists and draws from their lyrics throughout the movie. Then goes on to show the difference fromn real hip hop to commercial hip hop. Taye Diggs and Sanaa Lahan are a great pair. The supporting cast (Queen Latifah, Mos Def, Nicole Ari Parker and Boris Kodjoe) are wonderful too. Very realistic in 1990's Manthattan. Makes you compare the first time you fell in love and the first time you feel in love with hip hop. For hip hop head this is a must have additon to your movie collection.
Summary of Brown Sugar
Studio: Tcfhe Release Date: 01/06/2009 Run time: 109 minutes Rating: Pg13One of 2002's most underrated films, Brown Sugar offers more than you'd expect from a conventional romantic comedy. The love story between Dre (Taye Diggs) and Sidney (Sanaa Lathan) is the least interesting part of the movie; the costars have delightful chemistry, but their hookup is a given. What's refreshing is the way the story draws a parallel between Dre and Sidney's longtime friendship (they meet as kids in a 1984 flashback) and the evolution of hip-hop music from urban roots to dubious mainstream acceptance. Dre's a disillusioned producer at pop-fueled Millennium Records, married to a beauty (Nicole Ari Parker) who cheats while embracing her coveted status quo. Editor of an influential music magazine, Sidney's tentatively engaged to a basketball star (Boris Kodjoe), but these loves are obstacles, and Dre and Sidney are meant for each other. In bringing them together, Brown Sugar allows for human mistakes, intelligent solutions, and the kind of three-dimensional behavior that romantic comedies typically don't provide. --Jeff Shannon
