One of 2002's most underrated films, Brown Sugar offers more than you'd expect from a conventional romantic comedy. The love story between Dre (Taye Diggs) and Sidney (Sanaa Lathan) is the least interesting part of the movie; the costars have delightful chemistry, but their hookup is a given. What's refreshing is the way the story draws a parallel between Dre and Sidney's longtime friendship (they meet as kids in a 1984 flashback) and the evolution of hip-hop music from urban roots to dubious mainstream acceptance. Dre's a disillusioned producer at pop-fueled Millennium Records, married to a beauty (Nicole Ari Parker) who cheats while embracing her coveted status quo. Editor of an influential music magazine, Sidney's tentatively engaged to a basketball star (Boris Kodjoe), but these loves are obstacles, and Dre and Sidney are meant for each other. In bringing them together, Brown Sugar allows for human mistakes, intelligent solutions, and the kind of three-dimensional behavior that romantic comedies typically don't provide. --Jeff Shannon

- "So, when did you fall in love with hip hop?"Enjoyment of this film doesn't hinge on how much you dig hip hop music or how deep or how far back your history with hip hop goes. 2002's BROWN SUGAR works just fine as a romantic film, and it's cool if you relish it solely for that. But if you love hip hop or even if you just have a nodding acquaintance with it, then you'll get so much more from the movie. Me, I grew up in the '80s, listening to what's referred to nowadays as old school hip hop. So I can definitely get with the opening sequence, ... Read More

- Great MovieOnce I got this movie, I never seen it and I decided to purchase a used copy and I will defintely buy again.

- Brown SugarI agree with a previous reviewer that this is one of those movies that I gladly supported by seeing 3 times upon its release because it's a love story as opposed to a gang-banging, drug related shoot em up. I love seeing movies with attractive African American actors playing upwardly mobile responsible adults.
It was also a clever twist to use hip hop as a metaphor for the lead characters life long relationship and I truly didn't feel like they beat me over the head with the comparisons. ... Read More

- Another good movie!I remember watching brown sugar in the theatres a long time ago and now I am glad to watch it again. Who said that two best friends can't hook up? If they knew it each other kicking it from since they were small, there is no doubt that love cannot be felt among them. Dre & Sydney were in love with each other from since day one. They both loved hip hop grew up with it and promoted hip hop when they were older. Hip Hop brought them together. It is a good movie for those who like movies with love in it also. ... Read More

- Rick Famuyiwa does it again with this sweet love storyRick Famuyiwa continues to show his talent to Hollywood in the sweet Brown Sugar. Rick Famuyiwa who burst on to the scene with the vastly underrated The Wood in 1999 has made a charming film that couples, hip hop heads and anyone just looking for a good film can enjoy. Brown Sugar use the evoulation of hip hop to tell the story of Dre and Sidney two life long friends who belong. Dre and Sidney are both played with charm by Taye Diggs and Sanna Lathan. Sugar is similar to Love & Basketball on some levels just ... Read More
