Movie Review

Grade: C The track record for African-American romance comedies in the last couple of years has been impeccable. Just look at the long list of successes, such as "The Wood," "The Best Man," "The Brothers" and "Love and Basketball," many of which contain the same young, rising actors. Unfortunately, even though the latest black romance comedy stars Taye Diggs ("The Best Man") and Sanaa Lathan ("Love and Basketball"), "Brown Sugar" does not live up to expectations.

Well, to me, the movie was excellent! To some the movie was supposed to be a comedy, but come on, maybe that what you wanted. The talented actors brought out the roles they were supposed to play, and made you feel like, that is what love is about!
