Synopsis

Rick Famuyiwa breathes a refreshing burst of air into the romantic comedy genre with BROWN SUGAR, a film that is as much a tribute to hip-hop as it is a celebration of friendship and love. Dre (Taye Diggs) and Sidney (Sanaa Lathan), best friends since elementary school, have been in love with rap music since they can remember. It has even carried through into their adult lives. Dre is making a successful living as a record executive, while Sidney has just taken over as editor-in-chief at one of the hip-hop community's most popular magazines. Somehow, romance has never been an issue between the two, until they both find new loves of their own--for Dre, it's the beautiful Reese (Nicole Ari Parker), for Sidney, it's basketball star Kelby (Boris Kodjoe). Disillusioned with the lackluster music that his label continually puts out, Dre decides to branch out on his own. Sidney gives him a loan to support his bold new venture, but it is this unflinching support that eventually begins to grate on Reese and Kelby, forcing Dre and Sidney to confront their true feelings. Famuyiwa's crowd-pleasing film is boosted by Mos Def and Queen Latifah's hysterical supporting performances.

4.0 out of 5 stars When did YOU fall in love with Hip-Hop?, 9 Nov 2003
By Andrea (Sweden) - See all my reviews
I had watched the video "Love of my life (An Ode to Hip-Hop)" by Erykah Badu (the most fascinating, educating and creative music video I have ever seen) but it was not until I watched "Brown Sugar" that I really understood its meaning. I am certain that any soul-deep-lover of Hip-Hop will appreciate this movie for its depth and all the Hip-Hop associated metaphors that it contains. The story itself is kind of predictable in many ways, but the movie feels fresh dispite those things. Some of the lines in the movie (sorry for not having any quote but I have only seen it once and cannot remember) touched me very deeply and if you are a fan of Hip-Hop I am sure that it will touch you as well. Give it a chance and watch it, I am sure you will not regret it! Besides... how can you miss Mos Def's acting role? =)

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous movie even for hip-hop virgins, 10 Jul 2005
By A Customer
Awesome movie, touched my soul, great symbolism of true love, it happens to focus on hip hop, but what shines through is the love of two people and whether you are into hip-hop or not it cannot fail to pull at your heart strings. Watched it for first time a month ago and still on my mind, so I am gonna buy it so can watch it over and over again :o)

I got this flim recently as I like both lead actors. When I finished watching I just shrugged my shoulders and made a cup of tea. Very boring and a waste of talent.
