Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community Nov 20, 2003
Pros: Taye Diggs and Sanaa Lathan are attractive; Queen Latifah rules
Cons: slow, predictable, bad dialogue, unrealistic
Summary: Watching Brown Sugar reminded me of driving to Connecticut. I’d gone that route so many times that I knew everything I was going to pass and exactly what I would find when I reached the end of the journey. It’s a relatively pleasant ride ... read more

Pros: You'll enjoy seeing many characters before they were widely famous
Cons: Not much story as it just asks if main character can just be friends
Summary: Brown Sugar came and went quickly in theaters without many people talking about it. The storyline was very light, but the fact that the characters were from a prominent hip-hop culture makes this new to the ... read more

Pros: The music, nice chemistry with Lathan and Diggs
Cons: Choppily cut, cut out the best scene
Summary: If Sanaa Lathan's character Sidney was in this room right now she'd say, "Tell me when you fell in love with hip hop."
And in my deepest Barry White love voice (hey, how better to impress, than to talk like Barry White?), I'd say, "To answer ... read more

Pros: story, characters, it's funny too
Cons: unattractive title, predictable conclusion
Summary: Rick Famuyiwa's "Brown Sugar" is a highly enjoyable romantic comedy starring very likable people doing very likable things. Notice how I mention the people being likable as well as what they do. Rarely do such romantic comedies pay any attention ... read more

Pros: An attractive, appealing cast; great music; tons of charm.
Cons: Formulaic, but not to a fault.
Summary: Brown Sugar has been dubbed "a hip-hop When Harry Met Sally...," and I suppose the cutesy description applies when looking from the most basic angle; Rick Famuyiwa's film is, indeed, a comedy about two best friends who unexpectedly (for ... read more

Pros: Good story, good actors, good music.
Cons: Not as tightly directed and edited as I wanted it to be.
Summary: Preamble
There are so few, intelligent movies made today where black actors/actresses own the film. Most of the time, they're stuck in some supporting role, playing the same type of "friend" or "bad" person. When I saw the trailers ... read more

Rated Show by the Epinions community Jan 5, 2012
Pros: twisted romance, love for hip-hop, actors and actresses chosen
Cons: None
Summary: In my opinion, Brown Sugar was one of the most motivational, profound love stories of hip-hop and what it truely means. Not only does this movie display a twisted love-story, but a friendship that was built along the way of genuine hip-hop. My
