Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

If you were to judge a book by it's cover, you would think "this film is a cheap urban black film". However, once you get into the film and the plot slowly reveals - it is a very great, underrated film with an astonishing story. Congratulations to the writers who came up with the concept and the cast for shaping the film into a remarkable film that it is! Gabrielle Union is such a talented actor, it was unpredictable how influential her role would be in immersing myself to watch this film with a fantastic sense of fulfillment. LL Cool J plays as the imposing, strong man who will make your women his, within a second of paying attention to her and the guy who is a female attracting magnet! His acting in this film assists this in being overall amazing!

I never got a chance to go see this movie when it hit the theaters. I rented it not knowing what to expect. After watching it on DVD, I can say that I would not have minded paying the price of the movie ticket to see this movie. It's not all that glamorous, but what it is is a nice feel-good, respectable movie. Gabrielle Union does a nice job playing a rude, obnoxious, man-hating sister by the name of Eva. At times she takes it over the top, but that's acting and that's what she gets paid to do. Eva is bent on taking care of her little sister's who all lean to her for advice instead of their men. The sister's love Eva and listen to her as if her word were the gospel. The men, on the other hand, hate her guts and want nothing more than to see her leave town. She often interferes with her sisters' relationships and makes it a point to drive her sisters' men crazy. So, in order to bring proper order to their respected relationships the men plot to get Eva out of their lives. Thus the need for Ray (LL Cool J). Ray is a smooth-talking playa with serious game. The men talk Ray into dating Eva to get her out of their lives. Ray agrees and thus the story begans with two people falling in love with each other that weren't supposed to fall in love. That's when things get messy for Ray and Eva. Some parts of the movie were a little outrageous and the ending was not the best, but all in all it was still a pretty good movie. I've read some of the reviews on this movie and other movies as well. My thing is that if you want real life situations, go watch a drama or a real life story. This is comedy...comedy's not supposed to be real. It's really an escape from reality. Don't we all need that right about now? Anyway, besides the ending, this movie was well done with the supporting actors doing a great job of playing out their respected roles. Furthermore, the women in this movie are pretty fine. Also, LL did a nice job playing Ray. I have a lot of respect for him as an actor. He didn't over play his part, but he made it believable.

This movie was unquestionably outstanding. How could anyone not enjoy this? Because they're simply just haters. The movie was a romantic comedy and easy for anyone to enjoy. Gabrielle was off the chain. She was a little uptight, but that was settled when she got her boyfriend. If the men would've been smart enough to embrace her instead of pushing away each time, she would've been that much easier to live with, although she was out of line most of the time. This was a great movie, preferably for the Black community. This was quite realistic to me. It's very cool when you get to see a strong black woman portrayed on television, as opposed to what we saw in Monster's Ball, a dependent woman who was a straight up freak. If you were looking for a movie for sex, get over it. God doesn't like us watching trash like that anyway. All in all, I watched this movie over and over again and never got tired of it. Go see it you haven't. You'll enjoy it.

I love this movie. It has a great cast and it is absolutely hilirious. Sure it's no "Soul Food" or "Waiting To Exhale" but its still a very good movie. This is definiatly Gabrielle Unions best role yet. She should have more starring roles, other than her usual supporting roles. I would have cast some one other than LL Cool J to play the role of Ray {no offense he did a great job} I just would have cast some one like Morris Chesnut in that role. The supporting cast was really good. Very good acting by Duane Martin. I really cannot think of one negative thing about this film. It really is a good movie.Grade- A+
