UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Pluskylang Great Film overall
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
jmorrison-2 I really like the part where the girl in the relationship is asked by her brother "Are you sleeping with the enemy"? The "ENEMY"...?!?! You know what...FU** you, the horse you rode in on, and everything about you.Just more mindless, liberal, millennial mush-brained BS
eccomatic I don't get all the negativity. Let's face reality, women still outnumber men and "decent" men are an unfortunate minority regardless of race. (Decent women are hard to find too, they just have an edge on the numbers and to be honest, I believe finding a good wife depends on what kind of husband you decide to be).I dated women of just about every race, white, black, Latin, middle Eastern - after a lot of bad experiences with women of my own race (white) I ended up marrying a Latina. She's a strong, independent woman who values family and marriage as much as I do, something close to impossible to find these days.The racial segregation of relationships is ending. The most prominent divisions are cultural, sometimes religion but that too is on the decline. The future day when humanity is not so divided is coming.Race was an issue for my wife's family at first but time took care of that. I think once they realized that it wasn't an issue at all for the two of us they came around and are warm and accepting of me as part of the family. This film did a decent job of bringing up some of the issues bi-racial couples face. After close to ten years together we can both agree that the negative reactions of people around us are something we stopped noticing a long time ago and back when we did notice them they came from equal numbers of people from both of our races.Don't be afraid to look outside your own race for love. We "think" race is such a big deal and really, it's not. Even when family members have a problem with it time and patience will find them dealing with you as a person rather than a representative of your race and when that does happen you'll all realize just how little it really matters.The few people who can't get past that also just don't matter. If they want to allow something so petty to define them then move on and let them "enjoy" their ignorance.
cinmoon2 I loved how the movie showed all different sides of the race issue, racism, reverse racism, how we all black and white try to make the other races uncomfortable like they shouldn't be with another race besides their own. I also happen to be in an interracial relationship, I am white, and he is black. Sometimes it is really hard to be on both sides of it. The white community and the black community act the same towards us...they either love us or hate us. I don't see what the big deal is, I have dated all kinds of different races, i don't see color, I just see a good man! Finally find one that happens to be black. I hate that I have to hear comments from white guys, and the black girls about who I am with. It doesn't happen all the time, but hate it when it does. Society really has to come into the new millennium about it!! I am so glad that there is finally a movie about it all!! loved it...loved it.... loved it!!!!
Mark Larsen Well I loved the movie, I liked Simon Baker in it a lot. He made the movie worth watching. Kudos to the casting people. Of course it is a romantic comedy and the outcome is predictable.But, as for me, a European, I think it's pretty normal to date someone from a different race. Love is colorblind anyway, I personally would not have gone for that boring girl, she was way too conservative and not that cute. She reminded me of a reborn Christian I was dating some time ago.But I was more than a bit surprised to see that it's such a big thing in the States, to date someone from a different race. I thought you guys were over that long ago.
