It would be easy to dismiss The Seat Filler as a by-the-numbers romantic comedy, the only difference being its mostly black cast.

My problem with this picture has to do with its repeatedly intolerant dialogue which ranges from homophobic to misogynistic to racist.

Females take it on the chin with the description of one as "a snaggle-toothed crack-head with four baby-daddies." Worse, it is suggested to the protagonist that dating a prostitute would be a step up for him. Sorry, no redeeming qualities.

What I loved about this movie was the characters knew each before they knew each other just by looking into the mirrors of their souls...and status did not have a factor in their love!
