I really like the part where the girl in the relationship is asked by her brother "Are you sleeping with the enemy"? The "ENEMY"...?!?! You know what...FU** you, the horse you rode in on, and everything about you.Just more mindless, liberal, millennial mush-brained BS

I thought this movie would be a witty romance. None of the characters displayed any trace of a personality whatsoever. Even Simon Baker looked sullen and downtrodden. The brother, supposedly raised in an upper middle class culture, was so crude he refused a handshake from a landscape designer because he considered him "hired help." A highpoint was supposed to be a "cotillion" where young black couples marched around in identical white chiffon gowns and black formal wear in a kind of slow motion Busby Burkeley geometric pattern, all the time maintaining the same pi$$ed off expression that set the tone for the movie. Finally, as if to say "we still honor our heritage," the young men launched a choreographed frenzy of neck jerking, hopping and jumping for a welcome relief from the puffery pageantry.The girl ran to get the guy, but I saw no chemistry. If I was to explain the relationship, she was simply miserable and he was just going along.

I don't get all the negativity. Let's face reality, women still outnumber men and "decent" men are an unfortunate minority regardless of race. (Decent women are hard to find too, they just have an edge on the numbers and to be honest, I believe finding a good wife depends on what kind of husband you decide to be).I dated women of just about every race, white, black, Latin, middle Eastern - after a lot of bad experiences with women of my own race (white) I ended up marrying a Latina. She's a strong, independent woman who values family and marriage as much as I do, something close to impossible to find these days.The racial segregation of relationships is ending. The most prominent divisions are cultural, sometimes religion but that too is on the decline. The future day when humanity is not so divided is coming.Race was an issue for my wife's family at first but time took care of that. I think once they realized that it wasn't an issue at all for the two of us they came around and are warm and accepting of me as part of the family. This film did a decent job of bringing up some of the issues bi-racial couples face. After close to ten years together we can both agree that the negative reactions of people around us are something we stopped noticing a long time ago and back when we did notice them they came from equal numbers of people from both of our races.Don't be afraid to look outside your own race for love. We "think" race is such a big deal and really, it's not. Even when family members have a problem with it time and patience will find them dealing with you as a person rather than a representative of your race and when that does happen you'll all realize just how little it really matters.The few people who can't get past that also just don't matter. If they want to allow something so petty to define them then move on and let them "enjoy" their ignorance.

Definitely a film for all mixed race couples to watch...full of emotion and a great movie to watch. It goes through the tough times of a couple - one of them is white, one of them is black. It goes through how their family and friends react, how they deal with such reactions but how their hearts react too. Due to the tensions that still exist between whites and blacks, especially in America, this movie is a complete icebreaker and it teaches that it isn't race that matters in a relationship or what anyone thinks, but love. It has an interesting ending and perfect for a night in with the ice cream. Definitely one of the better romance films of 2006.
