1. Love Jones is not a comedy.
2. Love Jones is a bad movie. It's a 20 minute short film stretched into 90 minutes.
3. There are probably at least 10 black rom-coms better than Love Jones.

Coming to America
The Wood
The Brothers
Brown Sugar
Best Man
Best Man Holiday
Think Like a Man
Top Five
How Stella Got Her Groove Back
Two Can Play That Game

All better movies. And if you consider Love & Basketball to be a rom-com, add that to the list.

Two Can Play The Game is an underrated black romcom. Anthony Anderson was hilarious in that.

I LOVE two can play that game.


Also The Brothers.


The early 2000’s had a couple of black comedies that were highly underrated

Love Jones is a classic.

And so is the soundtrack

 

[Elle Seven]

Hav Plenty is a personal favorite for me, especially since it supposedly actually happened. Hill Harper’s character with that asthma inhaler and those lyrics had me crying.

 

[Peter Popoff]

This scene was funny

You probably think all black people are funny.

Ole "Tell me a joke" summamabytch.

Havilland Savage is based on Drew Dixon (def jam exec)

That soundtrack was a panty dropper and has some amazing songs. I miss the days of good black movies so having great soundtracks. Even shytty movies had great soundtracks, or at least a classic track or 2.

Love 40, baby!

 

[DOGGFATHER96]

One of my top 10 favorite movies of all time. It captured the neo soul vibe well.

The poetry slam and jazzy atmosphere really set the tone for Love Jones, tho
