Muita quimica verdadeira no ar. Ha muito tempo que nao via um filme romantico de facto emocionante. A questao racial trouxe o tempero exacto. este filme pode muito bem ser atemporal.

No chemistry between them

What a beautiful movie

It was a really good movie. Very instructive. I really liked it. I will watch it again later.Also, I really like the small details of the movie.

very romamtic movie love to watch again

I appreciated the female protagonist's development. Not every rom-com manages to portray the blooming that love brings.

Nothing new despite its star's good work.

Aqueles filmes de comédia romântica água com açúcar bem bonitinho, exceto pelo excesso de foco no casamento, tenho a sensação de que esse filme já deram, mas esse é o antigo então a gente releva.... E aqui temos um toque mágico que é o relacionamento inter-racial, muito agregador... Algumas situações um pouco forçadas e convenientes, mas o tema racial é tão recorrente e necessário e os debates são tão válidos, realistas e dolorosos, que faz valer a pena... Lindo, chorei... S2

Delicious romantic comedy, which manages to approach important and still current theme in a smooth way, leading us to look at the other point of view. With beautiful performances by its protagonists, especially the talented Simon Baker

Simply watching the white wall is more interesting and less racist.

[mild spoiler alert] The movie was definitely passionate. I mean seriously I did NOT know I could get aroused from watching someone applying nail polish! Also I like that the story line is realistic and down to earth (I mean sure, you get a cliche or two but nothing cringy). You know, it's not your usual "boy meets girl and nothing seems to point in that direction but somehow they fall for each other OH and also they keep running into each other in the most unexpected places" scenario. The romance they have actually makes sense from the fact that they had a blind date before she hires him (so there was a pre-existing idea of them being partners before they started hanging out) . And the fact that they ran into each other at the engagement party and later at the wedding makes sense because they were introduced to each other by a common friend. All that to say I'm really happy that they got those cliches out of the way. Now as far as the main "sensitive topic" of the movie is concerned, I felt a little bit confused. Not because the movie made it confusing, but more because of my personal approach to race. On one hand, I was obviously feeling bad for Brian because of the constant (and certainly not deserved) uncomfortable position he was put in when hanging out with Kenya's entourage. And I could kind of empathize with the annoyance he felt at some point from Kenya's constant references to race, as I felt it too. But on the other hand, it is absolutely fair that she would want to talk about her frustration with the person she shares her life with. And I appreciate that Brian said he might not relate but he will empathize because that's more effort than a lot of people would be willing to make. The main reason why I was confused about how I should feel is that, although I am black, I did not grow up in America. I can't pretend to know what it's like to be black in United States. I know it's often tough, I just don't know how tough. And so I wonder if I'm being ignorant when empathizing with Brian and if I'm being biased and peer-pressured when empathizing with Kenya and co. I hope it all makes sense. Anyway, this review is supposed to help you decide whether or not to watch the movie so yes, I definitely recommend it. It's entertaining, well written and very well directed (kudos on those close ups!). Enjoy! P.S: Simon Baker's smile could save my life. There. I said it.

This has become one of my Go-to movies when I need a little pick-me-up. It's charming, sweet, and the main characters have great chemistry.

It's a black version of the movie "The help" where an openly racist black woman and her family slowly come to terms with their racist views. There is a scene where the woman's brother actually refuses to shake hands with "the help".

This is on my list of top 10 movies. Love the chemistry and honesty portrayed by Sanaa Lathan and Simon Baker.

Funny, touching, romantic, gorgeous couple and great pacing. What else do you need to cozy up to a well acted movie? It's one of those movies you can watch over and over and see something new each time. Love it. P.S. Donald Faison's hilarious stint as the serial dating brother is perfect.

Exactly what I want white man and all

Timeless, hilarious, and who can resist an hour and a half with Sanaa Lathan & Simon Baker?! Brilliantly directed and superbly cast.

So good! Love Simon!

One of my very favorite rom coms. It doesnt hurt that Simon Baker is in the lead romantic role - he does a perfect job and comes across very natural and expressive. But, its smart and clever too. Should appeal to both white and black (and other) audiences. Yes, it still has its rom com cheese moments, but overall its an excellent example of the genre.

One of my top movies ever, a very sensational, overwhelming and inter-racial love story that conquered everything
