it a shame this movie do not get more play in theatre . it a rich and textured love story with believable and all too human character and who be too busy game and protect their heart to recognize the real thing when they experience it . one of the most pleasurable aspect of this movie be it setting in chicago and among hip and artistic and literate and middle class african american who discuss poetry and music and literature . another be his royal fineness and larenz tate and if you be even half a fan of his and you need to see this film . his boyish cockiness and vulnerability be perfect for the role of darius . nia long also shin a nina and who long to tell darius she love him but be afraid the break the rule . a great movie to watch curl up on the couch with your sweetie .
