BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
jejohnson2244 Not because he's a black director, mainly because this is an enjoyable movie. First things first, the camera needed to learn how to shut off at times but for 500,000 bucks whats the point, I mean power is such a primitive word for the budget. That is what stomped me, the amount used yet still an amazingly good film. The main character was very funny and kept the sarcasm at such a likable way that you couldn't hate him. The plot is average but that is what the acting makes up for. All I say is great movie, fun characters and pretty original, especially for a romantic comedy in this era full of black romantic films. Hav Plenty is a film that will not disappoint in both laughter and intelligence.
womael Although I use the words Real World, this movie is more realistically a fantasy of what real love is often dreamed about. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie as I watched it late night on cable. And Although I had seen it before a few other times , I really never paid much attention to it. I just knew that every other time I had it on, that somehow I was forced to stay tuned. And it finally paid off. The acting of the principals was superb. Chenoa Maxwell is a fox. Christopher Cherot is a multitalented up and coming young Black Filmmaker. And although I had to tone down the sound because I didn't want the neighbors to hear all the profanity, in spite of this, I thought they did an excellent job. It was warming to see this movie where two people finally admit to themselves that they were hopelessly in Love with each other. It ended up just the way real people "dream" of. Unfortunately in the real World it seldom happens that way. Shucks...I felt like falling in love with Hav myself.
obe-one Christopher Scott Cherot is impressive with his many talent's as far as this movie goes, but something is missing, like a few more laughs. I just didn't think it was all that funny, with the impression that this was a romantic comedy. I did like the character he played, Lee Plenty, as he was the most likable. Chenoa Maxwell, who played Hav, even though she is very attractive, was very irritating in this movie. Definitely worth a look, though.
dsurratt I watched the film with absolutely no idea of what to expect. The lead character Lee Plenty, played by actor/writer/director Chris Cherot, really impressed me with the the last minute acting responsibility with absolutely no previous theatrical experience. The lead female character, played by a stunningly classy Chenoa Maxwell, did a good job as well slipping into the suit of a pretentious and loveless woman.The scenes could have used some polishing, but once again, Havplenty is a low-budget, independant debut film by Cherot, and i'm looking forward to what he'll think of next. I think the character sketches of Black people as intelligent members of society without a gangsta-esque "f**k the world" mentality is also refreshing and entertaining. I gave it a B-
