I'm Through with White Girls
Jay Brooks is that black guy who digs indie rock, graphic novels, and dates white chicks. After a slew of bad break-ups, Jay gives up white women, "cold turkey," and he goes on a mission: "Operation Brown Sugar". But because Jay doesn't fit the "brotha" stereotype, he fails miserably with the "sistahs." Then he meets the dynamic Catherine, a misunderstood "Half-rican Canadian", who's as righteously quirky as he is. To win her heart, Jay must confront his fears as he realizes commitment is a bigger issue than race.

Excellent but underrated film
Crappy film
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
I loved this movie...my family is mixed-race also; and I found the issues of fear of intimacy and the frequent awkwardness of dating well portrayed. I thought the dancing older woman in the wedding reception was cool. It felt like the process of getting to know other people belonged to all generations. The young leads were sexy and talented; can't wait to see more of them in the future. I do wish IMDb would list all the songs from the movie, as a soundtrack from the movie has not been released, and I especially enjoyed the songs at the wedding reception. Finally, all the talk about race issues was respectful and timely.
I don't usually write comments for movies, I usually just read them. But this one movie I had to put up something for. The best thing about it was that it was unpretentious, the characters were very real - for once we didn't have to put up with an unrealistically gorgeous female, or worse: an average looking guy with a gorgeous girl, as if to say guys can pass up being average looking, but girls can't when it comes to movies. There was not ONE dull moment in this film, it was fast paced and the humor was GREAT. Worked on ALL levels. I'm so proud of it. More people should see this.And yes - the title is very stupid, misleading almost. But it was the title that got me watching this.... :)
"I'm through with..." is a pleasantly surprising comedy about a black guy who had only had too many relationships with white girls that always ended with him leaving in a clandestine rush. He thinks it's not his fault and that probably the reason why it didn't work out is they're white. So he decides to try something with a black woman and so the story of this "black" comedy really starts going...What makes this film good is perhaps not so much the plot itself but the way some scenes are dealing with life. The main characters seem authentic (good casting. L. Johnson is magnificent) and the screenplay is well written: situations feel right, it's funny and you don't get this "seen before" feeling again and again. Besides "I'm through..." doesn't focus too much on the typical comedy structure too intensively - only during the last act it is turning more and more to this typical way of storytelling. This part may not be as creative as the rest though still nice.Summing up "I'm through with..." would have many basic ingredients it would take for a hit but I guess due to the story and the more than risky title it will be tough to find the audience. Perhaps that is why the producers didn't spend much money to promote it. However if you're in the mood for comedy, give it a shot...
This movie is totally one of a kind. As for myself, I tried to "be done with white girls" after a bad relationship with a beautiful Russian girl that was crazy about me at first. After 8 months it really went down hill. I said to myself "I'm done with white women this time for real." Needless to say, I just couldn't do it. Remember that movie "Ali" when the trainer, being played by Jamie Fox said "I gave up pork and I gave up alcohol, but them white women O' Lord!" Well basically this is what happened. I vowed with all sincerity to be totally dedicated to brown sugar but... Dang! Them white women, O' Lord! Somebody pray for me.
