I just don't understand all the good reviews above. I read the other comments and decided to watch this movie and the only thing I can say is: "I wish you could get a refund on time you had to waste on bad movies".I really hated this movie and can not remember the last time I didn't finish a movie. I REALLY tried, but after about 45 minutes I started to fast-forward. This is supposed to be a comedy??? about relationships. But the story is lame and the jokes are predictable. Save your time and money and DO NOT watch this movie.

Hello All! This is a good movie, I went into the shoppett to get some paper towels and saw this movie in the Just released section. 30Aug2008, Okinawa Japan military base. Its good, thanks for getting something different to us who work overseas! I rented this and I am planning to watch all of the special features. This was really good, the actors were all good looking and the settings looked so real. Entertainment is my biggest thing, I love to see people being creative entertaining themselves and others. I did notice the dates on when this movies was wrote, released, and put into a theater... it's kind of shocking to see how far this picture has come.

I saw this one at the Roxbury Film Festival and it brought down the house. Many moments of warm, engaging comedy (Jay Brooks dancing is priceless.) But underneath its typical romcom plot line (hapless male hero, has issues with commitment, meets the girl who may change everything, but is it too late?) is smart and incisive commentary on gender, aging and ambition, with a hint of race relations for flavor.On a side note, Lia Johnson is incredibly sexy and charming as the main female lead. I don't know many actresses who could put neon yarn in her hair without seeming like a self-conscious teenager or a vagrant, but she pulls it off with panache. Hopefully we'll see more of this lovely actress in the future!

I saw this film at the 'Africa in the picture-festival' at the Filmhuis The Hague. I had not heard or read any review about this movie, but based on the plot synopsis I expected a politically correct flick. First of all, this is a very clever and funny movie, with likable characters. Actually it's one of the best comedies I've seen in years. Its fresh originality reminded me of earlier Spike Lee movies like 'She's Gotta Have It'. Unlike Spike Lee, Director Jennifer Sharp keeps the tone light all the time. This is no a criticism, she obviously intended the movie not to be too dogmatic. Probably the most rebellious thing about the movie is the excessive smoking of the main characters; I'm sure this is intended as a sneer to all that non-smoking Hollywood movies you see nowadays. The movie deals with stereotypes of all sorts, but in essence this movie is more about fear of commitment than about race. I've seen many new faces in this movie and all the actors perform very natural. Anthony Montgomery is brilliant, but Ryan Alosio steals the show as his best friend who is bluffing his way into rap in order to get a job at a record store to get close to a girl he fancies.
