i like it

i have seen it a couple of time so those people who don't like get over your self OK and it is funny sad and exciting for those people who want a little bit of everything and you have to like some of the characters to really get into it. i like ll cool j in this movie the best all the other movies were OK but this one was the best of all. i don't see how anyone would not like this movie even though some parts in it are a little rude and disturbing.the girl who plays Eva is a good actor and knows how to play actor well. i didn't very much like her in bring it on i like this movie the best .i hope those who hasn't seen this movie likes it a lot.

Unbelievable yet entertaining love story

I enjoyed this movie. I'm a fan of LL Cool J (even though his acting isn't great) and was impressed with this unbelievable story of love (what woman alive would actually forgive him after what he did?) The acting was pushed at best but in the end, this movie still managed to crack a few laughs and entertain for the full hour and a half. A cute date movie....i guess.

Not just another "black" movie

A nice normal movie that happens to have an all black cast. I don't feel it was a "black movie". Cultural idioms aside, anyone could relate to the language and themes of the movie. Nicely done. I feel Gabby U really performed well in her role...made me forget it was her. LL gave a great performance as well. The worst was the Royale as the gay guy...just not happening: He needed to be more flamboyant to be funny...the lo-key thing didn't work, though he had some otherwise funny lines....the director MUST've held him back, cause I've seem this guy in action before...he's as funny as anybody, if not funnier than most.

All said, I'll probably buy this one on DVD. I hope these types of movies continue to be made.

one.

sort of funny, but really cheesy ending

If you like LL Cool J, then this movie is for you. It was pretty good and had some funny moments. Most of which come from the smart mouth comments made by no-nonsense Eva. There are also some good gossip scenes at the beauty shop. The story is nothing original; you know exactly where it is going. Of course, the player falls for the girl whose heart he is supposed to break. They just made a mistake at the end by having a really cheesy, knight comes riding in on a white horse, type of moment. It was too hollywood and didn't really go with the rest of the film.

FINAL VERDICT: There is no mystery with this movie. It is what it is. So, if you like mildly funny moments with a stereotypical romantic plot, then you may want to give this a try.

Nice Movie Overall

Another movie base on William Shakespeare - The Taming of the Shrew but this time a black and older people version. (No racism intended)

Three Friends hired Ray to escort Eva, so that she would be out of their marriage life after she influence too much on their wife.

Though I have seen this in Ten Things I Hate About You, I still very much enjoying this movie and somewhat surpass my expectation. LL Cool J is great here and the flow of the movie is just right.

Overall this is a good adaptation.

Recommendation: If You Are Over 25 Watch This, Younger Watch 10 Things I Hate About You.

Rating: 6.5/10 (Grade: C+)

Trivia
Second Taming of the Shrew adaptation that Gabrielle Union is in. The first one was 10 Things I Hate About You (1999).

Goofs
The final scene, where the two ride off on horseback, is supposed to take place in Chicago, yet two Los Angeles County MTA buses are seen passing by.

Quotes
Oscar: I don't understand you. Why do you have to be so GODDAMNED UNCOMPROMISING?
Eva: It's called principle, Oscar. Maybe the world is in short supply, but I am NOT. See, people pay their tax dollars for MY PRINCIPLE so they can go into a restaurant and not eat chicken-fried RAT, or bite into a bacon, lettuce and tomaine sandwich. If I slack up on you then I have to cut EVERYONE a break. And pretty soon, the almonds on you salad have LEGS. If that makes me UNCOMPROMISING, then I wear it as a badge of honor cuz I'm in DAMN GOOD COMPANY! Martin Luther King was uncompromising, Nelson Mandela was uncompromising, and I'm sure your MOTHER was uncompromising, although the evidence of that is not apparent today. So... why don't you think of me as your Mom right now. And Momma says, "CLEAN IT UP!"
Eva: [after shocking Oscar] See you in 48 hours.

Crazy credits
After the end credits, there's a scene where the male hairdresser Telly talks on the phone with his girlfriend. He's only pretending to be gay.
