About this product

Product Information

Kenya is a beautiful, successful lawyer with loving parents and a close-knit group of supportive friends--but, predictably, no love life to speak of. Out for drinks on ValentineÆs Day, she and her girlfriends lament the difficulty of finding the æideal black manÆ (successful, educated, and attractive), and the point is driven home when a co-worker sets Kenya up on a blind date with a successful, educated, and attractive landscape architect named Brian--who turns out to be, to her surprise and dismay, white. While Kenya at first tries to deny their obvious attraction, the two soon start a relationship; and though they have undeniable chemistry, cultures clash.

Additional InformationKenya (Sanaa Lathan) is a beautiful, successful lawyer with loving parents and a close-knit group of supportive friends--but, predictably, no love life to speak of. Out for drinks on ValentineÆs Day, she and her girlfriends lament the difficulty of finding the æideal black manÆ (successful, educated, and attractive), and the point is driven home when a co-worker sets Kenya up on a blind date with a successful, educated, and attractive landscape architect named Brian (Simon Baker)--who turns out to be, to her surprise and dismay, white. While Kenya at first tries to deny their obvious attraction, the two soon start a relationship; and though they have undeniable chemistry, cultures clash. The plot of SOMETHING NEW is not, in fact, actually new, combining many of the usual truisms of romantic comedies and interracial dramas. In fact, with his too-good-to-be-true personality (sensitive yet strong, working with his hands yet educated, determined yet patient), Brian is reminiscent of Sidney PoitierÆs John in GUESS WHOÆS COMING TO DINNER, a man so perfect that no critic could find anything to object to beyond his race. But top-to-bottom excellent performances from an extremely talented cast make the characters three-dimensional and save the movie from cliche. LathanÆs radiant, skilful performance manages to display all of KenyaÆs many neuroses and flaws, even her occasional rudeness, without ever allowing her to become unlikable. Blair Underwood--as BrianÆs main competition--miraculously manages to make his attractive, suave character somewhat unappealing. The actors, working with Sanaa HamriÆs sure-handed and inventive direction (in her feature film debut, no less), give the movie a lively spark and likeability that elevate it above its genre conventions.
