Movie Reviews of Brown Sugar
Movie Review: Sweet
Summary: 4 Stars
Sanah Lathan is coming into her own as a sexy superstar in the African American Romance movies. She is a much fresher face than Vivica Foxx and is a little more convincing that Gabrielle Union. Taye Diggs holds his own and adds a necessary element of comedy to the plot that I frankly don't feel that Omar Epps, Larenz Tate, or Morris Chestnut could bring to the table. I think that the two demonstrate good chemistry throughout the movie. Their characters are hip enough to be true fans of Hip Hop and on the other hand professional enough to handle their business in their respective careers. I really like the analogy that the movie makes with Love and Basketball. Oops. I meant to say...well you know where I was going. I think that the producers were trying to mix the ingredients of Love Jones with L&BB and did a decent job. Not to mention that Ms Badu's and Common's song "Love of My Life" blessed me with this movie's soundtrack
Movie Review: Entertaining and Predictable...
Summary: 4 Stars
For those who provided "constructive criticism" about why there aren't any other kinds of films being released that showcase these actors... People do not go to see dramas with predominately African-American casts. The film loses money, meaning movie studios are less likely to give funding for another drama with a mostly African-American cast. Until the same people who pay to see romantic comedies start paying to see films like _Rosewood_ and _Antwone_Fisher_, this is what is released in movie theaters.
Moving on... I thought the cast was one of the better ones I'd seen in the last few films I've watched. It's refreshing to see a film with an overall good cast, especially the strong performances from Mr. Diggs and Ms. Lathan. Have they worked in films where their work was awful?
Overall, this is a good film. It's entertaining, and definitely better than some of other romantic comedies released in 2002.
Movie Review: very good movie
Summary: 4 Stars
I am probably da biggest sanaa lathan fan. Its a shame dat she she is so underrated. This movie shows just how much young black actresses are not being potrayed in the spotlight as much as the males are. The movie is basically about a man and woman , frenz since childhood, who are leading their own lives, but the test of friendship unites them.From ythis movie u'll c love, gain laughter, and its definately worth seeing. Overall its a very good movie, but the front cover does make it predictable which is a shame.But i don;t feel this movie is as good as love and basketball which is y it didn't get 5 stars!! Its great for a date movie or chillin wid frenzand taye diggs makes it even more worthit, [...] da brudda is fine!!Shout out to sanna , ur too much!!Movie Review: Talked too much about Hip-Hop
Summary: 4 Stars
I enjoyed this movie, but I got tired of them mentioning Hip-Hop a lot. It was nice to see all of those old school rappers and them mentioning the old songs, it brought back memories, but after a while it was like...Okay enough already. Overall, Taye Diggs was wonderful (not to mention gorgeous), and Sanaa Lathan was just as fabulous. She's becoming one of my new favorite actresses.Movie Review: "Friend's B-4 Lovers"
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a good movie with a great story line. This movie also teaches us that friends make better lovers. If you haven't seen this movie yet, you should check it out. It also reveals some of the "First *REAL PIONEERS* of RAP". They make special appearances in this film. So check it out.
