kaphibarka-463-442444 I am not too much into romantic movies, I rarely watch them. But this one really kept my attention, simply because of how unorthodox it is (comparing to genre fellows).There were no big screenplay-helping coincidences, just people who could act so due the state of the mind, they actually were at. One can see there are some actual events behind it. Dialogues are pretty civil and I like the fact being a different race couple isn't a leading issue. Yeah, characters are not ignorant about fact it is so ( for example dialogue about jazz musicians in Europe), but there is not the main theme. I love both Beharie and Duken- guy might be a big name in the future (I saw few of his movies and he created a few totally different personalities of his characters in them- in like Max Manus or the Ueberlingen accident.) I have edited my rating after I have seen it for the second time. I am really excited, how sincere this movie is. Keep on going the crew.

kirk-567-241973 This film was co-produced by the Euro-Africa Division of the Seventh-day Adventist Church as a method of witnessing. Do a wikipedia search for the name of this film for more info. What is bad, is the film contains curse words and vulgar words. The vulgar words are in the background music - a rap song called Black Madoff. Because the volume is low you will most likely not notice, but your kids might! Since when is "supportin' sh** like unity..." and "F*** her phone number. I tell her to Google me..." a Christian way to reach the public? The curse and vulgar words used in the movie occur in the song at about 1:34 and 1:42. The original rap is located here so you can hear it very plainly. http://www.musicxray.com/xrays/7542Anyway, beware, and don't take your kids to this.

Lauren I am no pseudo-movie critic so here is the short and sweet version of my opinion of this film.Usually, my expectations of a low-budget(under 1 million to produce), independent film aren't high. This movie, however, was simply delightful! The interactions between all of the characters were believable--each scene offers a treat for your viewing pleasure.There's a wonderful mixture of comedy, romance, and drama (not too much drama). Niklas and Ticia have such an amazing on-screen chemistry that keeps you wanting to know what happens next. The foreign driver in the story was a sweet and hilarious touch to me! The writers and director did a marvelous job at story telling, which seems to have become difficult for many to do these days. I don't think this movie was predictable like others have said in their reviews because it does not end the way that most Romantic Comedies do-- guy comes back to girl and they run to each other for some dramatic embrace. Kiss, kiss, kiss, cue cheesy triumphant theme song, they get busy, they live happily ever after. This movie breaks that mold in a way because you are left to wonder what happens between them which is a sweet agony in a way for a viewer! See the movie. You'll enjoy it!

billcr12 Niklas is being talked to in German by someone unseen at the start of the movie and later lands in New York. Leticia(Nicole Beharie) is singing and playing a piano in her apartment, while composing a song. Next scene and good looking Nik is in his power suit sitting in a board room, telling a small group of American workers that they are being laid off due to downsizing. He walks into a coffee shop and guess who is sitting next to him; the beautiful, everybody calls me Tish, and she hands him a cd of her music. The good German tracks her down and asks for a date. At first she says no, but with his persistence, has lunch with him. They go back to her apartment and she sings for him and it is magic. They kiss and almost get it on, but she is a Christian girl and can't do it on the first date. Meanwhile the aspiring singer finds out that Niklas is the one who is responsible for her losing her job. Nik offers to fly her to Europe and set her up with a friend in the music business, but she just loves Brooklyn. A side story with her pastor father is also thrown into the mix. This is a routine and predictable romantic comedy which just breezes along. Nicole Beharie is gorgeous and has a good voice with decent songs. Her talent deserves better material.
