Summary: Guy from Yugoslavia
Review: This is one of the most honest movies I have ever seen. True story (those who saw movie will understand). I have enjoyed the acting of all actors and the fact that they were natural whole time. This movie was shown on local Tv in Yugoslavia twice and I have recorded it, now I watch this movie once per month (ever month). My girlfriend also likes "hev Plenty" (yes!!!) and she ussualy does not like such movies so you know this movie is great!Best wishes to all "Hav Plenty" fans and to Christopher Scott Cherot. P.S. I'm currently working on the book that is in a certain way conected with this movie...

Review: How can anyone resist this movie. This movie can only be described as a low-budget marvel. The cast of characters was well chosen. The cameos were amazing. This is a must have movie.

Summary: Hav Plenty was more than enough
Review: Some people compare this movie to Love Jones but I think Hav Plenty is in a class all to it's own. Love Jones was basically a love story while Hav Plenty is more of a search for love. One was in love the other didn't realized until later. The most memoriable line of the movie was between Havilland and Lee: Havilland: Who do you think you are talking to me like that?
Lee: Who do you think you are that I can't. I think those two line set the tone for the movie. I think some reviewer really missed the point about the movie. One wonder why the women in this movie was so into him considering his appearance. Another said that no man would take such verbal abuse and still be their...... Havilland may have ripped Lee a new hole over hav's sister but
he did not just sit their and say nothing which is why I liked the two line in the movie which once again I think sets a tone for the rest of the movie.... They new each other when they where in school, they ran into each other later on in life, went out once and remained friends. There was only two women that chased after Lee and they were Hav's sister and friend. Hav's friend wanted him because it was new years and she just wanted to be with someone, while Hav's sister on the other hand wanted to kiss Lee because after 30 minute of talking to her (that's 30 minutes in movie time folks, not actaul time) Lee new exactly how she was feeling. Her sister Havilland did not know neither did her husband, mother nor her father.
All I can say is I enjoy every minute of it, and can't wait for my DVD to get to house so I can look at it again.

Summary: SIMPLY CHARMING!
Review: Kudos to Kenneth BabyFace & Tracy Edmonds for believing in this independent/low budget film. It really is a story that needed to be shared with the world. The film opens up with a Biblical Scripture, Philippians 4:12. The story begins in New York with Christopher Scott Cherot (writer, director, actor) house sitting for a friend played by Chenoa Maxwell. He is a writer that is down on his luck at the moment. He is homeless and broke. Chenoa Maxwell plays Haviland (Hav) and she calls to check on her home and cat. After she discovers that her house sitter has no girlfriend or plans for the holidays...she invites him to spend New Year's Eve in Washington, D.C. where she is with her mother, sister, brother in law and friends. He drives five hours to be with them and that is where the story starts to evolve. The main friend of Hav's is Caroline, whose character is best described as a snooty twit. She makes a play for Cherot, but he turns her down. Caroline adds a lot of laughter and somewhat comedic appeal to the movie. The sister, Leigh, is a newlywed and having a small problem with her husband because she has not found her place in life yet. In the midst of her confusion, she wants to kiss Cherot just once so that she will not obsess over him. He refuses her too and he is also the only one who really understands her dilemma. Thanks to Cherot, Leigh will find her place and make amends with her husband before the movie ends. The love scene between her and husband Felix is cute, funny and romantic. The music playing at the time is also very nice and sets the tone for the scene perfectly. Hav is mad with her Fiance played by Hill Harper. He is a famous singer/pretty boy. He has been cheating on her. It is hard to really tell if the attraction between Cherot and Maxwell is mutual, which makes the movie even more unique and holds the viewer's attention. Hav is uppity and prefers to rub shoulders with the elite, famous and whose who. Lee Plenty (Cherot) is down to earth, not easily impressed and seemingly content and not ashamed of his current station in life. She seems to want him to be more on her level in order to be deemed worthy in her eyes. He wants someone who would rather decorate a xmas tree than go to a party type woman. All facts being as they are, he can't seem to leave after New Years. Each time he attempts to leave, Hav comes up with a reason for him to stay longer. Her grandmother meets him on New Year's Day and tells Hav that he will be her husband one day, but she dismisses her grandmother's wit and wisdom. Cameo appearances at the end of the movie are made by Shemar Moore, Nia Long, Chili (TLC), Lauryn Hill and Mekhi Phifer. Other stars are Tammi Katherine Jones and Reginald Jones. This movie is a must see! It is unique being a movie within a movie or story within a story. It is a love story that stands apart from others such as Jason's Lyric and Love Jones...but the quality is equal. BabyFace and his wife Tracy also make a brief cameo appearance since this IS A TRUE STORY. Also, I like the play with words/names for the title. You will get that part after you watch the movie...simply charming!

Summary: One worth owning. Funny Stuff.
Review: It's a story about a broke writer, Lee Plenty, who spends the weekend with an old college friend over New Year's. The friend, Haviland, has some issues flying around her family, from her phony parents to her sister's marriage to her own personal struggles with her r&b mega-star phony "boyfriend." Lee is in the wrong place at the wrong time and his sarcastic/"artist dis-association" attitude places him centrally into all of the crisis' in Haviland's family. Yes, it is kinda "bougie", but this movie is FUNNY. I laughed all the way through. And it has a little surprise twist in the end that was nice. Not all black people are from the ghetto so wherever someone makes a statement that the movie is totally "unrealistic" they are ignorant. I thought it was entertaining and funny. If you liked "Love Jones" and "The Best Man", this is definitely worth a look.

Summary: Forget Other Reviews
Review: This is a wonderful movie despite other people's reviews. The movie opened to rave reviews at Cannes and many of the African American film festivals. Christopher Scott Cherot's portrayal of himself in an autobiographical role is superb. the movie brings to mind classic dialouge driven movies such as Blake Edwards "10". Its a very sophisticated tale about a writer who is writing a screenplay about his interactions with women over the course of a New Year's weekend bash. Chenoa Maxwell is wonderful, smart and sexy as his nemesis. A must see form true film fans.

Summary: Too Funny!
Review: "Hav Plenty" is totally reminicent of a Woody Allen film; it's a funny, realistic look at a man trying to stay afloat in the world. Christopher Cherot deserves major props for writing, directing, and starring in this hilarious film. Anyone who does that (especially as well as Cherot has) should get some sort of recognition. I've been waiting for years to get this great movie on dvd, and FINALLY I've got my chance. My advise to other movie lovers is to at least rent this gem, believe me, you'll love it!

Summary: lousy,corny and boring
Review: First of all what was?No,excuse me. Who made this movie?I know Babyface had something to do with it. This movie stinks! Its about a homeless guy who for whatever reason keeps talking to these fancy bugee type women I know he was writer and he said something about being a substitute teacher. and he lived out of his car . This guy looks terrible so why would these women who already think of themselves so highly want to seduce him and he also refuses them. I dont want to go on explaining this movie or trying to understand it. Because I am trying to understand why would someone make a movie so poor and unrealistic. I figure mostly black women would view this movie I suggest stick to watching Soul Food on Showtime because this movie is the worst.
