Better Late Then Never

Awesome Movie

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

I truly enjoyed the movie "Hav Plenty". It was very refreshing to see a romantic and well-written Black love story, which is so rare these days. The cast were all outstanding actors for a low budget movie. The movie was very realistic and it made you feel that you could truly relate. I especially loved Christopher Scott Cherot's role. Although Ms. Havelin was playing "hard-to-get", I loved the way Mr. Plenty stood his grounds and did not give in.My daughter turned me on to this movie and now every time I learned that it is airing I watch it religiously. I surely hope that Mr. Cherot will be bringing us more movies and especially with him as a character. I fall more in love with him each time I see the movie. I plan to purchase it and add it to my collection of all-time favorites.

I thought it was a good movie. It was intimate (as in warm and familiar) and sort of a comedy of errors. I thought it was a cast of some of the most beautiful Black folks I'd ever seen! Lee Plenty was scruffy, but what I liked about this character is that he had a full sense of himself. That was attractive! He was aware of his shortcomings and he also had confidence and and a great sense of humor about himself. I especially liked the way that the character Hav thought she could wrap Lee around her finger, I get the impression that she thought she was a little better than he, but she couldn't deny the attraction she felt. It was interesting to watch her simultaneously be attracted and repelled. The other characters, the friend and the sister who wanted to have her way with Lee made for an interesting and funny (not as in side splittingly hilarious, but as in sweet mixed with smart) weekend. I think it's a smart movie.

"Hav Plenty" is a little Afro-Am romantic comedy which tells of the wax and wane of an unspoken but simmering love between an unemployed writer, Lee Plenty (Cherot), and a beautiful career woman, Havilland Savage (Maxwell)...hence the title, "Hav" and "Plenty" (Get it?). The film has a stagey feel from being shot on sets with characters occasionally speaking directly to the camera, avoids excesses (excesses cost money), and relies mostly on a "less is more" philosophy to get from start to finish. Nonetheless, "Hav Plenty" has a sort of quietly endearing charm which must flow from Cherot as he is the auteur and lead actor and it -is- a true story....or so he tells us in the film (and I Tivo'd is from the "True Stories" channel on cable). Okay stuff for those looking for a low cal watch on tv. (C-)

I was offended, bored and annoyed while watching this. I don't usually agree with many of Maltin's summaries but his take on this one is right on the money (except I'd only give it 1/2 a star - just for being able to get distributed and those celebrity cameos - terrible waste of connections). As well as being smug, the movie was colorist, classist and disturbingly close-minded.Besides the fact that this quasi-movie could have gotten funded and distributed, when quality projects are struggling to get produced, the most disturbing thing is that there are people who have watched this and thought it was anything more than horrid.Sorry, but no thanks!
