Something New

Alfre Woodard, Blair Underwood, Donald Adeosun Faison, Donald Faison, Felicia Walker

If love is an adventure, it's one yet to be embarked upon by Kenya Denise McQueen. A beautiful L.A. career woman, Kenya works as a senior manager at a prestigious accounting firm, and is on the verge ...( read more  read more... )of making partner. But she has yet to find her own partner and a fulfilling personal life. It's not that she's stopped looking; her (mental) checklist is at the ready. After another Valentine's Day spent working late, Kenya agrees to a blind date with Brian Kelly, a sexy and free-spirited landscape architect who turns out to be not exactly what she'd pictured for herself. Then again, she does need the yard of her new house fixed up. Her girlfriends Cheryl, Suzzette, and Nedra are there for her with advice, while Cheryl's new beau Walter shares a male perspective with Brian. Kenya's socially prominent parents Joyce and Edmond and womanizing younger brother Nelson also voice their own opinions. But it's when her perfect match, Mark, enters the picture that Kenya is truly thrown into confusion. Ultimately, Kenya has to decide for herself and follow her heart -- no matter where it takes her.

    I thought this was a very entertaining and charming movie to watch. If you love romantic comedies then I think you'll definitely like this movie. Sure the plot is predictable, but I had a great time laughing and relaxing while watching the movie.

    Kenya McQueen (Sanaa Lathan), ...( read more)is a professional black woman searching for the right man. But she is faced with a dilemma that many black women are facing, the black male shortage. When Kenya meets Brian (Simon Baker) a white landscaper who agrees to do her backyard, she finds herself attracted to him and vice versa. Sparks fly between them and they fall in love. Brian shows Kenya how to loosen up; by doing this she is discovering more about herself. But Kenya has to decide on whether to go by what her friends and family say, or whether to follow her heart.

    Lathan and Baker both give solid performances in this movie. The chemistry between them was pretty good, I thought. However, Kenya's girlfriends I thought were underdeveloped and a bit stereotypical, but they were funny. Donald Faison was humorous (but a little irritating) as Kenya's "playa" brother. Alfre Woodard did a good job as Kenya's mom, but she was a bit underdeveloped too. Blair Underwood was just there. I thought he gave a pretty weak performance and his character was two-dimensional and unnecessary to the plot. Then again I think that Underwood's character was there to show that there are good black men out there that will give his time and attention to the sistas.

    I thought that the message of the movie was a good one. No matter what anyone else may think, it's always best to follow your heart and be with the person that makes you the happiest.

    Another sexy and spontaneous moment of another case of opposites attract.
