Hey, um, you guys are usually insightful and intelligent, but for whatever reason you skipped all that in this post. First, "black" and "urban" should not be interchangeable when describing a film. The Chris Rock flick isn't exactly "Belly." Second, black romantic comedies should not be automatically disparaged as "Tyler Perry wannabe's" just because they happen to feature blacks. Are we not allowed more than one type of formulaic, easygoing love story? I can't stand Perry, but that don't look like a Perry flick. Predictable, maybe even banal, but not a Perry flick. They are stylistically incongruent, and if you gave it a real look, you'd notice that. Don't let the race of the characters cloud your reporting skills, homie.

Gotta love those trailers that save you money! Would like to make the point that all black life, I mean African-American (sorry I grew up black) is not bereft of love and therefore so unlivable that the only solution is to fall in love with a professional athlete.

Fat chick fantasy?

Yes, because all the fat women in the world go unloved, especially one who is beautiful as Queen Latifah Whoever wrote this needs to come better than that.

I need to point out that throwing ice on someone like that doesn't work…there needs to be a good amount of water in there, otherwise it's just little touches of cold…
