Whimsical long-winded film in which characters are more concerned with what the outside world thinks of them is the love they feel for each other. Lots of repetitive dialogues, at some point we'll get it...
Film does not have a nice tempo, as mentioned earlier: it is a series of events in succession without a line or a certain atmosphere. Spike Lee's least I've seen. Unfortunately
2*

Good film in which a dark, married man starts a relationship with his white colleague. Certainly a product of its time zooming in on an interracial relationship. It mainly revolves around the reactions of the bystanders. The decent length is justified by the fact that there are also a number of side plots that fit well within the whole. A few strong dialogues and this film was their film debut for both Halle Berry and Queen Latifah.

A bit of the same experience as with predecessor 'Mo' Better Blues'; "Am I watching a good or bad movie?" But the balance here does shift to the positive. I didn't find such a circle discussion between the women very interesting, and I had my doubts about some of the choices (why does Flipper come to the 'insight' that the relationship will not work because of the collision with the police[/ spoiler]?), but many interactions were at least interesting and sort of 'just throw the bat in the henhouse' (say a whole collection of bats) and then you as a viewer can decide for yourself what you make of it - you will think about it.
3.5*.
