    Not bad for a low budget film. Shows the side of alot of mix marriage & there are alot. Karyn had to find herself & she did

    Nice, cute film-it was my first time seeing Karyn Parsons in a feature film. I didn't see much of a stretch from the character she portrayed on 'Fresh Prince of Bel Air". But the storyline was original and believable. I like movies dealing with race in a balanced way.

    Good movie. It's a funny movie with a serious message. My favorite part is when Nia's Afro-centric boyfriend wants to "segregate" her books. Like many moments in the movie, it's a small part of the movie but says so much.
