Good romance, but strong sexuality for a PG-13.

Told largely from the point of view of the woman, this career-versus-love story still develops the perspective of the man persuasively, as Sanaa Lathan and Omar Epps reveal their characters' motives with nuances of expression that transcend the dialogue.

August 07, 2008
This romantic drama from writer-director Gina Prince-Bythewood is well-acted.
New York Magazine/Vulture

Mawkishly heartfelt, but actress Sanaa Lathan performs as if she were lit from within.
