Description
From the producers of the smash hit SOUL FOOD comes HAV PLENTY, a hilarious look at love and sex in the '90s that charmed audiences and critics alike. For struggling novelist Lee Plenty, the only thing sorrier than his writing career is his love life. That is, until Lee's old college friend, Havilland, invites him to her home to celebrate New Year's Eve. Before long, Lee finds himself surrounded by three gorgeous women: Havilland, her uninhibited best friend, and her affection-starved sister. It looks like Lee's in for a weekend filled with plenty of laughter, love, and surprises. A hit soundtrack featuring Babyface & Des'ree, Erykah Badu, SWV, and Absolute energizes this fresh and funny romp!

5 out of 5 stars What a Relief...........2007-01-31

Finally, a witty, funny love film about black people in affluent, college educated circles. The film would have sold better if not for the absence of guns, broken English, at least one pimp, saggy clothes, homicides, and booty-shaking. But...that's okay (sigh), I loved it. Unfortunately, very few people want to pay $8.00 to $12.00 to see films about educated blacks; no shock value.

5 out of 5 stars Corney but funny.......2007-01-19

The movie was really corney but in a funny sort of way.

1 out of 5 stars Ugh.......2006-08-22

I rented this movie and believe me when I say I cried.....because I wanted a refund. I hated it. Was boring and characters had no depth.

5 out of 5 stars One Of The Greatest Movies I Have Seen.......2006-06-24

I have been looking for this DVD in England where i live, it fisrt sparked my interest whilst watching television. And I was unsuccessfull for some time and then i ordered from america. Even though i do not have multi region DVD player i am glad to finally own a copy of this movie. I would suggest that if you can see this movie, do.

4 out of 5 stars Nice movie that is down to earth.......2006-05-24

I first saw this movie on cable and enjoyed the relevance of it to my own life. I bought the movie on cassette and it was really enjoyable to me when I was going through a time where I have down on my luck and down on love. The movie for me was good in its light comedy and of the variety of issues that each character had. I can understand how some people may not like the fact that this is a low budget movie, and some elements of the acting could have been done better. Yet, the soundtrack was nice and the story is realistic in how some people go about denying their feelings or their flaws. I would recommend this love story to anyone who is tired of the gangster/got to get of the ghetto movies.
