Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

So much average

Nice effects though.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

I really, really, really love this movie.I'm not the kind of girl that's into romance movie... I find them rather boring. But there's a little list of that genre, and this one it's on the top of the list.I like it because it's refreshing, it has romance and comedy, which isn't a favorite genre of mine either, but this movie mixed them just fine.Well aside from the fact that it takes the most common cliché of all, two best friend that are secretly in love with each other but won't say anything or accept the other advances because they can't risk a long term friendship in case it doesn't work but I love it.I mean you should invest the time.. you won't be disappointed, this is coming from me.

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 portrays a relationship between two childhood friends who are in love but choose to suppress their feelings for each other. It also tries to portray Hip Hop in a non-stereotypical manner. Hip Hop is portrayed as an art form appreciated by professionals, as opposed to thugs and street-wise teenagers smoking weed and cursing all the time. Dre'(Taye Diggs) is a young record executive who is fed up with his company, due to their pragmatic approach towards their artists. He feels the artistic element is being compromised and decides to start his own record company. (Sanaa Lathan) offers him financial and moral support while his wife is jealous and complains about their friendship, this and the engagement between Kelby(Boris Kudjoe) and Sydney triggers a climax with a predictable conclusion. The only thing good about this movie, is portraying Hip Hop in a better light.

Don't get me wrong, "Brown Sugar" is a cute movie. And I got all of the references to hip-hop and being in love, yadda, yadda, yadda. All the same, I was waiting for the surprise, the twist, something else. Nothing new was added to the genre. Mos Def, as the bright spot, managed to deliver a refreshing character in spite of the "been down this road before" script. Wait until you can catch it on cable.
