"WHEN IT'S MEANT TO BE",
By Victoria N (Algonquin C, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brown Sugar (DVD)
Taye Diggs and Sanaa Lathan, my favorite actor and actress coming together, it has to be good! But you don't need to know either one of these two to love "Brown Sugar". This movie involves two adults that grew up as best friends but later realised that they were in love with eachother, it raises a question of whether a man and a woman can be friends without sexuality being in the way but at the same time it goes beyond that; having a lover as a best friend is as good as it gets. What makes this movie good is the trouble these two best friends go through to realize how they feel about each other but that's not a bad thing, it just helps them realize how they truly feel. Most movies would just show the physical attraction between two people but Brown Sugar shows you two people understanding eachother in every way possible. It is truly the best romantic movie that I have ever watched, it's not only touching but it has humor along the way which makes it open to a lot of different audiences. The delivery was great, no surprise there, if I didn't know better I would think it was a true story. Beautiful movie!

too true!,

This review is from: Brown Sugar (DVD)
This movie was sort of an outcry to musicians to stop this mess that is out now. So called hip hop and rap have been run amok, has been ever since the demise of 2pac and biggie. Lost even more when Jam Jay took the loss shortly after the movie's release. What this movie stands for on top of that though, is that you have to stand up for what u want. Taye and Sanaa wanted each other, but let it slide for quite a while. Even put up with a marriage and an engagement before the two realized they were meant to be more than friends. Even with all that the underlying meaning of the whole thing was that hip hop/rap sucks now. Sanaa even says "what's the differance between loving someone and being in love with them? The same as the differance between hip hop and rap. Loving someone is just saying the words." Just like rap is meaningless b.s. and hip hop was an entire movement, way of life and emotion. Rap is garbage and it's making everyone else look like crap too. But I like the movie. and I love what it had to say in a roundabout way.

Even a Good Cast Couldn't Save This,
This review is from: Brown Sugar (DVD)
I am sorry. I loved the cast and I tried with all my heart to feel what the film was about but this was the most boring film I have seen in a long time! With actors like Taye Diggs and Queen Latifah I expected at least some tip-top comedy wisecracking. I nearly fell asleep the first five minutes and I tried my darnest to stick with the movie but I quit watching after the first hour. I couldn't hang on any longer. This is a very boring movie. I don't know what the heck went wrong. The dialogue is pointless and goes nowhere. They talked on and on about nothing! I kept waiting for some sparks to fly instead I ended up slapping myself to keep from dozing. Sanaa Lathan and Taye Diggs are talented but they have no chemistry whatsoever. Queen Latifah was wasted and...the movie was just plain pointless. It tries to be the Love Jones of the millennium but it doesn't even come close. Love Jones had charisma Brown Sugar doesn't do anything at all. It doesn't make you care about the characters or if they end up together. You just keep wishing it would go a little faster. I've stood in DMV lines that were more exciting then this! At least the DMV lines moved eventually. Don't hate me folks because I tried to give this film the benefit of the doubt but something wasn't working. I can't recommend this to anyone. This was supposed to be like Sleepless in Seattle, oh you'll sleep all right. If you must watch it, watch it on Cinemax like I did. Don't dare spend any money on this. I pray you can get through it. Wow this was boring! I can't say it enough.
