Just you.

Nope he's right she looks exactly like Ron. Anyway the movie was a hit because a white girl was the heroine, he lost because though because Bianca Lawson gets chosen 10/10 imo.

Its was a well directed movie, good music , and was taboo. The fact the black dude wasn't a thug made it more digestible in some weird way., Plus the stereotypes were front and canter but obviously from a white persons pov. Kerry Washington was cringeworthy with the stereotypes. "Hul up , hul up, hul up,"

That's why I hate movies ..shyt is so exaggerated

Somebody in the film room said this movie birthed a generation of mullatos

Movie came out in 01 tho.

That Othello movie is another movie where a black dude was smashing some white chick.

Yeah. Mikhal Phiefer smashed Stiles



I liked the movie when it came out and I had a crush on Julia Stiles

I didn't like how the sistas in the film were portrayed though. Bianca Lawson with her fine ass acting like she didn't have options aside Sean Patrick Harris

Kerry Washington beginning her acting career full of self degrading roles

Yep...
I don't know if your American or how old you are but I remember from about 99-06 the "Wigger" era was heavy as fukk during that time...

I was in college during that era but I definitely remember lol

The 90s lasted from 1992-9/11/01

I always wanted to watch this and never got the chance. Speaking of Julia Stiles, did anyone ever see that YouTube series she did where she played a single mother who worked as a prostitute? It was called Blue.

Coulda swore this was 98-99

RIP Lil Saint....we gonna keep dancing for you though breh

I like that movie. if she were black what would be the point of the movie? Blacks are with blacks everyday. Where would the conflict be? That's what made it polarizing.

They were together before and she cheated on him bro, going back to her is more than just an L

I guess.....Julia Stiles just extra plain to me and there's no way I'm giving up Bianca Lawson for Julia

Ali Larter had that slightly trashy/trailer park vibe to her. I could believe her being in the South Side Chicago in the ghetto chilling.

On the side note, the Black dude in this movie, Sean Patrick Thomas went to my high school. I met him at Walgreens once. dikk head to the fullest degree

Bianca Lawson cheated on him
