    Loved this movie! Great music! Fantastic movie!

    Great film, much more realistic than most romance-dramas.

    watched this on TV last night. I am not a big fan of chick flicks but was interested to see Wesley Snipes in one. I definitely prefer him in actions rolls but felt he did a good job.

    It was pretty decent. I was trying to remember the book, and couldn't. So I'm going to have to re-read this one.

    I really enjoyed the movie, but the book was so much better! Wesley and Sanna worked well together! This was a great love story!

    A Sleeper hit movie. If you haven't seen it give it a try you'll be surprised. Not as good as the book, but what adaptation is?

    The hardships that's faced by our black men, and the courage, and confidence found when we stick it out!!!

    Playa just couldn't get it together. His quick decisions kept messin' up his life as well as others. Especially his hormones. It shows a side of me I once had.

    I was expecting more. I think it is because I do not care for Wesley Snipes that much as an actor. He took away from the film.

    True love conquers all! Zora went through some things for this man, but that's what love is all about....anything worth having is worth waiting for....or not!
