Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The race card is still in play no matter what the social strata, but the message gets lost in the medium of excessive cuteness and too many contrived disagreements in dialogue.

rotten:
It sometimes seems at odds with itself, vacillating between a realistic presentation of the obstacles black professional women face finding a suitable mate and another bit of Hollywood fluff where their skin color is glossed over.

rotten:
This is an inept and unsubtle romantic fantasy about how black people and white people don't mix.
– Wesley Morris,

rotten:
It's just too bad that this half-realized concept is tethered to an utterly unconvincing, warmed-over interracial romance rooted more in Harlequin fantasy than social realism.

rotten:
By and large this is a hollow, laugh-free zone paying lip service to the issue in trite, predictable fashion.
