Summary: Broad Romantic Comedy
Review: NOTHIN' 2 LOSE is a mildly diverting romantic comedy about a woman, who gives her boyfriend of two years a thirty day window to get married or else. Initially, the thirty day timeframe gives the story a nice deadline, but soon thereafter the story gets off track and never quite gets back on course. One reason for this is that Kwame, the boyfriend (played by Brian Hooks) appears so casual about the ultimatum in the beginning that you never feel the threat. Yasmine (Shani Bayeté) has a reasonable position as the girlfriend that is losing her patience, but some later actions by the character, make her seem somewhat fickle. Without revealing too much about the plot, it's not clear why Yasmine puts up with Kwame and the other men in her life. In terms of the performances, most are fairly broad, silly and underdeveloped. Newcomer Shani Bayeté, who looks like a petite Tyra Banks has her appealing moments in the film. You clearly empathize with her character's situation. However, like most of the cast her performance lacks subtlety, even for a comedy. The most believeable charcter in the film is Kwame's Mom (Kweli), she's the only one that sounds like a real person and not a fictional character. Among the recent crop of wedding films with predominantly African American casts, this film ranks a distant third behind Malcolm Lee's BEST MAN and Rick Famuyiwa's THE WOOD, but this doesn't mean that the film is devoid of entertainment value. With an energetic and attractive cast, the film definitely has it's appeal and if you like your comedy broad, you might even find the film worthy of a second viewing. However, for those who like more subtle forms of comedy, they may feel that their time could have been better spent elsewhere.

Summary: THE BEST COMEDY OF THE CENTURY
Review: This movie was funny,sad,and it made me mad. This movie is worth the money to me. The girl was just desperate as hell. I watched this movie 6 times and i rented it twice.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I enjoy watching this movie
Review: To me the cast was perfect. The whole movie is worth watching at least three times. Brian Hooks is a comedian on the rise. All he needs is a big role in a box office movie or give him his own TV show. For those of you who didn't like it watch it again but be very open minded when you watch it.Only because when you watch it you won't see the expected results.
