What a movie. Normally I can appreciate a chick-flick, and sometimes the humor is also manageable (I'm a boy 
) but this movie didn't get to me. I found the film quite superficial and impersonal, also the characters, even Kenya, I found boring and very written and little acted. The message was very clear, and I have nothing against that, but I didn't think it was very high-quality either. I mean, it's good to map discrimination and racism in a light way, but the whole problem was not properly mapped. It was all just a bit too literal. Maybe I take this film too seriously, for which it may not be intended: but I thought the atmosphere came across as quite serious: which makes it so difficult to appreciate. Certainly not a bad film, every now and then a smile on my face and Sanaa sometimes had a few nice moments. Not quite my thing: 2 stars

Nice film about a reserved, successful black woman who has trouble finding the right man. A romcom with a predictable course that focuses more on the 'rom' part. A film that shows that an interracial relationship in 2006 still does not go smoothly.

A separate romantic film .. actually predictable but also with moments when I thought it would not have a happy ending .. actually a form of Cinderella but different ..
