Using hip hop as a metaphor for love. Great concept. Diggs and Lathan had great chemistry you could see the brother/sister relationship in the beginning but you could also see something extra there. and then he climatic scene at hot 97.... Full review

They're both approaching 30 and have found success in their different but equally demanding careers. He's a hip-hop producer/exec, and she's a magazine editor for XXL. Their relationship is defined by their mutual love of hip-hop, and for each other.... Full review

This was recommended to me by my music teacher. Probably because of all the music involved, you think? However, to the movie's defense, I'm not a big fan of Hip-Hop. So that didn't help out that much. The story was alright,... Full review

Urban Cinefile
Creeping out on just a handful of cinema screens, Brown Sugar is a romantic drama worth discovering. This connection gives the drama a strong and involving core from which it also explores the business of a musical style that started on the streets in pure form before being subjected to the inevitable commercialisation and loss of direction once corporate players moved in. ...

Presented in an anamorphically enhanced transfer in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1 , Fox's Brown Sugar looks pretty good, although it does leave a little room for improvement. Again, Brown Sugar looks quite nice and fans of the film won't be disappointed with the end result. ... Full Review

But the cast is pleasant and attractive, giving this tired melodrama their all. You can't get a better endorsement than that. ... Full Review

With the notable exception of Mos Def as a real "R - teest" and the music, this who movie fell flat for me. A tighter story line and better directing and editing would have made a world of difference in my opinion. ... Full Review

Brown Sugar is a beautifully rendered ode to hip hop and the joy that was had back in the day of innocence, expression and art. The romantic comedy keeps audiences engaged in the story and plain enthralled by the beauty of our folks with an ensemble cast including Sanaa Lathan, Taye Diggs, Mos Def, Queen Latifah, Nicole Ari Parker and Boris Kodjoe. ...
