Brown Sugar (2002)

Brown Sugar: Directed by Rick Famuyiwa. With Taye Diggs, Sanaa Lathan, Yasiin Bey, Nicole Ari Parker. Friends since childhood, a magazine editor and a hip-hop record executive stumble into romantic territory.

“Smoothly done and often funny When Harry Met Sally for the African American crowd. This film is about two lifelong friends (Taye Diggs and Sanaa Lathan) who find themselves falling madly in love with one another even though Diggs is about to marry Nicole Ari Parker. Queen Latifah and Mos Def provide funny comedic relief as the best friends to the two main characters. There is no surprises to be had while watching this film, but there are some rather funny jabs at the music industry and (under rated) Lathan turns in a tender, compassionate performance. Lathan also shares some very good screen chemistry with Taye Diggs.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRated PG-13; Profanity and Sexual Content.”
