Reviews
This all-black screwball comedy, about the fables and foibles of black middle-class urbanites, is well constructed and occasionally witty, but it lacks style and polish to make it really work

Cherot's considerable charm as writer and star compensate for some rough patches.

Ah, love! Ah, black stereotypes! Why is it so hard to portray the black middle-class and the rich with any dignity?
