Brown Sugar Trailers

Sidney and Dre can attribute their lifelong friendship and the launch of their careers to one single childhood instant... witnessing the birth of hip-hop on a New York street corner. Now some 15 years later, she is a revered music critic at a national magazine and he is a successful, though unfulfilled, hip-hop record company executive. Both come to realize that their true life passions will only be fulfilled by remembering what they learned that day on the corner.

I loved this movie because as a true Hip Hop fan, I felt the same way at the time! I really missed the true essence of hip hop and all of the feel good music that it produced. I also loved how they related her love for hip hop, with her love for Dre (played by Taye Diggs). The movie combined the style of romance, comedy, drama and reality. I thought Sanaa was wonderful, she has turned into a great actress. Taye Diggs was also great and added humor to the film, along with the wonderful Queen Latifah and Mos Def,who is a hip hop legend and rising star in the movie industry. One of my favorite films, Brown Sugar was very fresh and real.

This movie is ultimately one of the best love stories i have seen on film.You don't even have to like hip hop to enjoy this movie. It will make you laugh, and it will even make you cry(tears of joy). Lathan and Diggs light up the screen together. It's a beautiful love story which sends a message of how to friends can really fall in love. It will certainly make you think twice about that friend of the opposite sex, that you have known for years, that you find attractive, that doesn't have a mate. It's just a wonderful movie to see, its not too raunchy on language or sex scenes. It's kind of funny how something like hip hop music can join two people together.

This movie....how can i just describe it: EXCELLENT! You can watch it once and one more time....you can't get enough of it! The story of a man and woman, who are best friends....who don't know it that they are in love with each other? But both of them try to live their lives, with relationships, that never works...because they're made for each other! Dre get married...we don't know why....Syd wants to marry Kelby....everything's gonna crash!! The metaphor is unbelievable, but nothing special when you see it twice, but without that it's an incredible movie....I enjoyed it, and I do now ! If you have the opportunity to watch it, don't hesitate, you won't be disappointed!!

Boy and girl are friends, just not romantically. Each have a significant other. All their friends know they are in love, but don't get together till the end, when they finally admit they are in love. Nothing original about this story. It is what it is. It sticks to the formula and isn't bad. Just nothing that I would call great.FINAL VERDICT: Unless you are a sap for romances, then just skip this one. It's been done a thousand times.
