bless1 This movie is ultimately one of the best love stories i have seen on film.You don't even have to like hip hop to enjoy this movie. It will make you laugh, and it will even make you cry(tears of joy). Lathan and Diggs light up the screen together. It's a beautiful love story which sends a message of how to friends can really fall in love. It will certainly make you think twice about that friend of the opposite sex, that you have known for years, that you find attractive, that doesn't have a mate. It's just a wonderful movie to see, its not too raunchy on language or sex scenes. It's kind of funny how something like hip hop music can join two people together.
calvinraselabe This movie portrays a relationship between two childhood friends who are in love but choose to suppress their feelings for each other. It also tries to portray Hip Hop in a non-stereotypical manner. Hip Hop is portrayed as an art form appreciated by professionals, as opposed to thugs and street-wise teenagers smoking weed and cursing all the time. Dre'(Taye Diggs) is a young record executive who is fed up with his company, due to their pragmatic approach towards their artists. He feels the artistic element is being compromised and decides to start his own record company. (Sanaa Lathan) offers him financial and moral support while his wife is jealous and complains about their friendship, this and the engagement between Kelby(Boris Kudjoe) and Sydney triggers a climax with a predictable conclusion. The only thing good about this movie, is portraying Hip Hop in a better light.
Orridge88 I believe Brown Sugar is a movie that should and possibly will always be remembered. I like the movie since it displays the true meaning of hip-hop. Not only that but it shows how true friends may end up getting together. My comment may not sound clear since my mind is all jungled up. Sanaa Lathan and Taye Diggs played excellent roles in the movie along with Queen Latifah, Nicole Ari Parker, Boris Kodjoe, and Mos Def. Another good thing about the movie promotes the Bronx!! Holla!!!!!! That's for the haters who stay hatin' on the BX!
MLDinTN Boy and girl are friends, just not romantically. Each have a significant other. All their friends know they are in love, but don't get together till the end, when they finally admit they are in love. Nothing original about this story. It is what it is. It sticks to the formula and isn't bad. Just nothing that I would call great.FINAL VERDICT: Unless you are a sap for romances, then just skip this one. It's been done a thousand times.
