Black Love

A curious name for a film, but this is not the 1973 softcore film of the same name (nor a re-make), but is a 2005 black American soap opera set in Los Angeles produced by Dale Stelly.

This low budget effort has everyone keeping their clothes on, bad acting and largely takes place in a hair salon or on a sofa. You can even see the mike in a couple of scenes.

Everyone wants to talk about relationships in a really "serious" way, but I just couldn't get engaged in the whole effort.

I kept asking myself "why"? Everyone is portrayed as pretty decent, but this is the cinematic equivalent of a public housing project. The men are overweight and the women attractive but implausible. Unless you are desperate, I would give this a big miss.
