Avis à la une
This movie is a cute rom-com. It is based on a book that I really enjoyed. It feels like a Hallmark movie and is a little cheesy, but overall still enjoyable. The soundtrack and fashion in it were both great. It is a nice feel-good movie. This movie had a couple of big name stars, but it didn't feel as well done as it could have been. This sometimes happens with romantic comedies or movies based on books. It was an enjoyable movie, but it just was not great. I don't think I would probably watch it again, but I did not regret watching it once. I remembered the story from the book and felt they could've done more with it.
I really enjoy Tia Williams as an author, but this film was a terrible expression of her talents.
The leads didn't have chemistry and there were many underdeveloped themes. My biggest disappointment with this movie is that the editing was awful. I rewound the movie about 10 minutes in because I thought I missed the opening scene where they actually provide context to the the main story line. The movie is disjointed. It's 30 or so random scenes that don't flow together rather than a movie.
Beautiful actors, great wardrobe, and a good soundtrack don't overcome the glaring faults with this film.

The shots of New York and the colors they used in the film is 10/10. But the actual movie seems rushed and forced. Zero chemistry whatsoever. The story is beautiful and I'm sure it felt beautiful to read the book. But that did not happen with this film. Which is disappointing. As a black woman I love watching black love. Idk lately it seems to me and I hate to say it, but production has gotten so much better with black films but the acting falls flat. Even with good established actors. Maybe use up and coming actors? Who still relate to us everyday black folk? It felt like all of the actors were just going through scenes and reading the script instead of connecting with it.
A rom com that could have been good, but just wasn't. No build up, their first encounter is strange, to say the least. At first I thought she was dreaming the whole thing. The ending, I don't think anyone needed that. Everything in between....it has a few good moments, funny too. Very annoying how the time frame is off. She's 40, but refers to 'being born in the 70's'. And supposedly met her ex in college and was with him for 10 yrs, which ended a year ago (so at 39)? How? Things like this can easily be avoided. She also seems rather immature for a woman her age, with a high profile career.
Now, it may be 'just' a rom com, but still a mediocre one.

This movie is done in the style and long tradition of romcoms from "yesteryear". It's a delightful nod to movies from the 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, 60s and 70s.
I'm an avid movie lover raised by a movie and film lover who schooled me in movies from past generations, so for me from the opening credits to the last line I was delighted by this theme. The film was like a love letter classic films and specifically classic Black films.
The movie contains some of these classic movie elements that could be mistaken for if a viewer doesn't have background knowledge, but that's OK because the filmmaker (and maybe the author) alludes to it and almost encourages the viewer to explore classic films by the references to Ina Mae, through the Jenna's costumes, the color tone of the film, the jump cuts, the overt nod to Dorothy Dandridge's Carmen, the campy elements, and the over the top characters, and other iconic classic movie moments interspersed throughout the film.
Gabrielle Union brings reminded me of many leading ladies from these classic films from her perfectly timed comedic moments to the heartfelt ones. Union depicts Jenna Jones as a classic actress with charm, relatability, a dash of glamour, and as an aspirational figure.
The music was wonderful, well-timed, and well chosen to enhance and punctuate scenes. There's art in this movie and I appreciate this art.
I'm not sure what people mean by no chemistry. The two leads definitely have chemistry. I was thinking Union's husband had a cameo to remind people he was around.
Found this movie scrolling Netflix. I have not read the book and didn't know it was a book until coming here. I was curious about the film makers.
