IMDB User Comments

* *1/2 out of 4. Smoothly done and often funny When Harry Met Sally for the African American crowd. This film is about two lifelong friends (Taye Diggs and Sanaa Lathan) who find themselves falling madly in love with one another even though Diggs is about to marry Nicole Ari Parker. Queen Latifah and Mos Def provide funny comedic relief as the best friends to the two main characters. There is no surprises to be had while watching this film, but there are some rather funny jabs at the music industry and (under rated) Lathan turns in a tender, compassionate performance. Lathan also shares some very good screen chemistry with Taye Diggs. Rated PG-13; Profanity and Sexual Content.
