One Sentence Movie Reviews: “Something New” (2006)
Something New (2006): “Who we date often says less about us than we think it does.”
Notes: In a weird twist, this was the #1 movie in my Netflix queue and just starting when I turned on the TV in my hotel room in Houston. It’s a great concept (black woman dates white man and struggles to win the approval of her family, friends and community) with rich possibilities but Something New’s content to play it as a traditional romantic comedy. Too bad. There’s got to be something between this and Jungle Fever.
