I liked it a lot. People have already touched on it but it's pretty much a black Woody Allen movie. And it was really well-written, only losing a bit of focus in the two big flashbacks (Houston and the white boyfriend). Not that those scenes were bad, in fact, they were pretty hilarious, but they seemed to belong in a different movie. I notice some people complaining about the typical guy-and-girl-fall-in-love-in-a-day shtick but I thought it worked because of the subtly incorporated Cinderella stuff, like a nod to the audience. Last but not least all of the cameo's were great but goddamn if the big one at the end wasn't some of the funniest shyt I've seen in a while. I'm really, really glad I didn't have that one spoiled before I saw the movie because that shyt caught me way off-guard.
Also, this movie is practically a blueprint on what we constantly talk about on here about black Hollywood needing to start their own film industry. Fund it independently so you got full control on the end product, use business connects (eg. call up a few friends and call in a few favors) to have a lot of talent involved while keeping the cost down and shoot.
And this made me wonder if anything ever happened with Danny Glover's long delayed Toussaint Louverture movie, but it seems it's still stuck in development hell (or flat-out dead). Apparently there is a French tv-mini series on him though.
