Rating: Summary: A different kind of movie. Review: An unusual romantic comedy. If you really look at the plot, the movie could have been written for individuals of any culture. I enjoyed how they showed that African Americans not only come in diffrent hues, but different personality/cultural traites. Not all of us who love out culture are hip to the latest slang or want to be. Also, there was not nudity, guns, or violence(a very nice change from the norm). One of Tisha campbells better roles, the ensemble had great chemistry. I especially enjoyed the surprize ending.

Rating: Summary: I Love this movie Review: I watch my video so much I've worn it out, and will be getting the DVD to replace my very worn video. It's funny, and and sweet film. Paula and Tisha played their parts well. Rusty Cundieff have other movies that are decent, but this is my favorite!!!! If you are looking to laugh, then this movie is for you.
Rating: Summary: It had such potential Review: Okay, so it wasn't exactly great, but I didn't hate it. Tisha campbell is pretty much playing that same "Gina" role only instead of a wise-cracking homeboy she is this time paired with an artsy type dude. This movie is about the two trying to make love work while their two jealous, and trifling, pals plot to split them up. And that Leonard Maltin review is dead wrong because this movie is NOT about their friends trying to plan a wedding. There is a wedding scene, but that is at the end of the movie and was more of a surprise ending than the central theme.Cundieff is certainly sincere in his role, but his character was uneven. His turns at trying to be hip and using slang fell flat. But contrasted with the horrible stereotypical performances of Parker and Torrey, I'd say that Cundieff was a welcome respite. On the whole this movie is worth renting if you just want something very light hearted and silly.

Rating: Summary: AWESOME Review: Paula Jai Parker is the bomb! This is a must see film. This movie is just down right funny. But they could of found a better actor than that yellow guy with those ugly dreds. He was terrible. If it wasn't for Paula Jai, the movie would of been jake.
Rating: Summary: a cute love story, with comedy thrown in! Review: Sprung is the story of 4 friends Clyde (Joe Torry), Adina (Paula Jai Parker), Brandy (Tisha Campbell) and Montel (Rusty Cundieff) . Clyde and Adina who are both playas hook up immediately and Adina finds out that Clyde isn't the rich man she thought he was and hilarity ensues (check the scene with Clyde riding on top of Adina's car in only his jockey underwear). Meanwhile against Clyde and Adina's wishes, Brandy and Montel fall in love and are truly happy. Clyde and Adina conspire to break up their friends's happy relationship, accusing the twosome of being "Sprung". Overall this is a very sweet romance and it also very funny. I've worn out my video and recently purchased this on DVD and I"m quite happy I did and I think you should get it too!

Rating: Summary: Girl... you know you want deeeez nutz Review: The title of my review says it all... one of the all-time classic lines in the history of cinema is in this movie... "Girl, you know you want deez nutz."
Rating: Summary: I Love this movie Review: This is a cute romantic comedy, that will leave you laughing, and laughing some more. You have Adina, Clyde, Montell and Brandy. Adina and Brandy are friends who meet Clyde and Montell (who are also friends) at a party. Adina is the typical "you have to have serious money to date me" type of attitude. The more money a guy has, the better your chance of dating her. Clyde thinks he is a player, but he is actually a faker. He has keys to a Porsche that does not belong to him, and he goes to banks to get bank slips that don't belong to him with high bank balances to show he has money. Adina gets a peek at one of his bank slips gets woozy, and Clyde offers to take her home. When Adina finds out later that Clyde is not "clocking major figures" she take his car, and he chases her down in a hilarious scene. After all of that turns out Brandy and Montell date, and Clyde and Adina can't have that!!! They set out to ruin the relationship, and chaos ensues. The movie is very funny, and it's a wonderful romantic comedy. There is this one scene that is so hilarious, I still find myself laughing so hard I have tears running down my face.
Adina wears plenty of wigs. She could Regine a run for her money!!! I also enjoy the talk Montel gives when he talks about loving, and loving hard. This is a must see movie in my opinion.
