Watch Brown Sugar For Free

People are voting emotionally.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I was watching Love & Basketball for the umpteenth time and starting researching information about it. As I linked to the actors' pages, I found that Sanaa Lathan dated Omar Epps in real life after appearing in The Wood. Well The Wood featured Taye Diggs as well. Then, Taye and Sanaa appeared in The Best Man as a couple. Boris Kodjoe who plays her fiancé in Brown Sugar was also her date in Love & Basketball. Regina Hall was Sanaa sister in L&B, also played a stripper in The Best Man.I think that over time our familiarity with these actors leaves us predisposed to favor the movie before we even see it. We already have this warm, gooey feeling left over from the last movie. Since there is only a few years between all of them, we often forget which thing happened in which, so we are forced to watch them all over again.I don't know if this is good or bad for African Americans in the film industry. Is there enough work out there for everyone? Are some actors over-saturating the sea of "Black Films" if you will? That is a question still up for debate. But, I definitely put this one up in the top five of great contemporary African American love stories.

I really enjoyed this film. It brings the realness back to hip hop. You can tell how much the director really loves hip hop in the way he shows how it started and how far its come, to the messages it gives the listener.This film make hip hop in a league of its own, and brings it back to the roots of hip hop itself.Having all the rappers talking about how they 1st got into hip hop at the beginning of the film really makes you think how influential music can become and how it can change people's lives, whether it be through listening to it, or having such a strong passion for it, that you have a sense of community with other hip hop lovers..Definitely see this film if you love origins of hip hop as well as a beautiful love story thrown in. Every guy wants the girl and every girl wants the guy (TAYE DIGGS AND MOS DEF ARE BEAUTIFUL IN THIS FILM!)

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.

I believe Brown Sugar is a movie that should and possibly will always be remembered. I like the movie since it displays the true meaning of hip-hop. Not only that but it shows how true friends may end up getting together. My comment may not sound clear since my mind is all jungled up. Sanaa Lathan and Taye Diggs played excellent roles in the movie along with Queen Latifah, Nicole Ari Parker, Boris Kodjoe, and Mos Def. Another good thing about the movie promotes the Bronx!! Holla!!!!!! That's for the haters who stay hatin' on the BX!
