what a relief after the deluge of gravity defying and morally reckless athlete that careen through commercial and the evening news . what a release from the exploitative and predictable portrayal of african american in film such a black and white and any give sunday and i get the hookup and and next friday . finally and an intelligent thoughtful film about articulate and intelligent and upwardly mobile black people . a romance with enough sparkle humor to have me laugh aloud though i watch the film alone . in the vein of wait to exhale but vastly superior to that film and we have young african american struggle with love and friendship . lee be able in elegant fashion to fulfill the great promise of film and which be to present a captivating fantasy that teach u something about ourselves . there be believable performance in every major role with howard and lathan leave the pack . beautifully direct and move until the end and i can not recommend this film highly enough .
