    Intriguing story plot.

    Good film, great performance by Hill Harper...he's a highly underrated actor.

    It was a cool movie. I love Hill Harper as an actor. I really liked this movie. You actually felt sorry for the character eventhough you knew that his actions were wrong. It like that way they incorporated the different races in order to show that love doesn't see color.

Loving Jezebel, a joyous first feature by director Kwyn Bader, is a charmer. Full Review

A fundamental lack of substance. Full Review

Kevin Maynard, Mr. Showbiz

Captures the embarrassment of foreplay, but it could use a few lessons in the art of seduction.

[Bader] needs encouragement. And bears watching.

Amateurishly directed.

A slight, unpleasant romantic comedy.

Elvis Mitchell

Elvis Mitchell, New York Times

It's hard to dislike a romantic comedy that's infatuated with the concept of love. Full Review

Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Somehow manages to squander both an appealing cast and an inviting Manhattan setting. Full Review

Loren King, Chicago Tribune

Kwyn Bader's debut feature is run-of-the-mill sitcom-y in its pedestrian writing and uninspired direction.

Jessica Winter, Village Voice

An oafish wish-fulfillment wankfest. Full Review
