He's a semi-employed construction worker and she's a music teacher with ambitions for a singing career. But when they meet at her Brooklyn brownstone their socio-economic differences melt away--or do they? This is the question that drives this 112-minute HBO movie based on Terry McMillan's best-selling novel. Zora wears fabulous clothes, decorates her hardwood-floored apartment with unusual furniture, and dines with her girlfriends at chichi restaurants, while Franklin can't even make regular child-support payments to his estranged wife. She's college educated; he doesn't have his GED. Sanaa Lathan (Love and Basketball) gives Zora dignity and grace throughout the film, while Wesley Snipe's Franklin starts out with those qualities but eventually degenerates into sullenness. Director Gina Prince-Bythewood (Love and Basketball) starts out strong by making Brooklyn a third vibrant character and creating fun takes on the awkward events in every couple's early stages--meeting the friends, dining with the parents. But she loses her way a bit in the middle and seems to rush the end. With much of the transitional material of the book missing in the movie, female viewers may find the ending tough to swallow. The film is rated R for language, brief nudity (specifically of coproducer Snipes's rear quarters), and sexual content. --Kimberly Heinrichs |

Such A Realistic Movie |
|
This one will definitely hit home for alot of ladies. It shows how we settle or "compromise" little things, which eventually become big problems. It also shows that sometimes love is 'inconvenient' and happens when we are not suspecting it. This was a very underrated film but it's well worth a watch. |

Moral of the movie is what you settle for in the beginning............. |
|
Moral of the movie is what you settle for in the beginning of a relationship is what your life will be. Truthfully both Sanaa & Wesley were guilty of concealing very important information that could have killed the relationship. This is a pretty good movie, check it out. |
