That trailer was good and the storyline is cute, I'll be watching. I haven't seen a good or enjoyable romantic movie in a while.

Yes!! This looks so good. And: it doesn’t look like one of those low budget, hood, straight to BET love story sagas! Lakeith is so fine to me, and it’s cute seeing the other guy from Insecure.

The concept is fresh and original, just yessss! I’m here for it.

How do you even know this?

The movie doesn’t premiere until Valentine’s Day.

I mean, I’m sure no one expects this type of film to shatter box office records but I’m sure it will do fine.

Why would it flop? Because it’s a black movie?
Smh...

It’s getting some promo at least.

It shouldn’t flop like Beyond the Lights did. (Which was actually a good movie)

I don’t know whyyyyy it flopped :cry:

It's not even out for over two more weeks?

Why would you say that? For why?

If we can get 50-11 Valentine's Day movies with white stars doing basic Hallmark style sh!t then we can get that with black people too?

Smh.

I don't think it will flop, but I wouldn't be surprised if it did. I want to support, but I'm not eager to see this in the movies. Definitely looks like something I can wait to watch.

I don't think it will. I am going to drag my husband to it if I read decent things on LSA about it!

Selling it as a Black love story with a BM married to a WW in real life and a biracial actress.

BW weren't interested in supporting this at all.

OP get it together, please !

I'm sure this movie will do good and they'll make a some profit. I can't wait to see it. I said this before, but this is the kind of cinema we need. Just a positive/non-toxic Blacklove story.

I hope it does well, I respect that Issa is producing big budget projects with black people in lead roles....

Issa is not sexy or a "Nia Long" by any means and Lakeith is not a sexy actor either. I do not think it will flop but this is surely not giving me Love Jones vibes at all. They do not have good chemistry to me. They are both comically awkward actors albeit attractive. Nothing wrong with that. She has more chemistry with the guy who (I'm guessing) plays her father in the movie and who was her FWB on Insecure.

Nevertheless, I have much respect for Black leads and films that are not perpetuating negative stereotypes and traumas. Even with that being said, I'd love to see more fresh Black actors and actresses.

Meh....not for me; however, I'm sure black women will INSIST on this movie being part of their Valentine's Day experience.

I doubt it. 16 million is the estimated production budget and I think it's tracking at around that for the opening weekend haul.

So, it may make triple in theaters at least.

I respect Issa's hustle, and I'm so glad she is in Hollywood making needed moves. But I hope she doesnt Tyler Perry all her projects and insist on acting in them despite not being a good drama actor. Issa's thing is self deprecating comedy, she's good at that. Unless she's taken acting classes, this will be like watching her on Insecure. That always puzzled, confused look when men are talking to her. I hope she also doesn't over use the n word like she does on the show.

Anyway, she has great ideas and I hope she continues to put ppl on. Being the lead though. Ehh. Her magic is writing and finding ppl to bring her ideas to light.
