Brown Sugar (2002)
Tired and formulaic.
2 January 2003
Is it just me or have I seen this movie before? "The Best Man", "The Wood", "The Brothers", "Two Can Play That Game". I did not like "Brown Sugar" mostly because it was a clone of anyone of the afore mentioned movies. The script nor the plot was hardly original. Supposedly the black folk's version of "When Harry Met Sally" (didn't really care for that one either) but the real problem with the movie is that it is boring. The only reason I went to see this movie is because I happen to adore Sanaa Lathan. It's a shame that she was in this crap. She hardly had anything to work with. And Boris Kodjoe and Nicole Ari Parker looked as though they were trying to act as if they didn't already know each other from "Soul Food".

I hate the fact that every black movie that comes out has to be a romantic comedy, has to have a wedding, and has to have at least two or three actors from at least two or three of the other romantic comedies.

The comparison between love and hip-hop was stupid. I definitely would not recommend this movie unless you're off work, don't have anything better to do and just bored as hell and you happen to adore Sanaa Lathan like I do.
