Title: Good film about a topic rarely covered intelligently
Review: The fact that this film does not cover a lot of new ground is part of its charm. It has an easy-going appeal that should make most viewers happy they spent the time seeing it. I would have liked to see the film deal more with the issue of black female and male educational disparity. This is the main reason why so many educated African-American women cannot find a suitable partner within their community. From a sociological standpoint African-American women were given more access to power and resources, because they were viewed as less of a threat, in a society that was segregated until a relatively late date. As a result a yawning chasm has opened up between African-American men and women. The percentage of unmarried African-American women is a major theme and it would have been interesting to explore it roots. At the same time it is good that the relationship between the two leads is not portrayed as a joke, or in a trite and patronizing manner.
