Customer Reviews:

"she's still Hillary to me".......2006-07-31

Cute independant flick with an above average performance by Isaiah Washington(the sexy brotha from Greys anatomy) Karen Parsons was'nt too bad either. not a bad movie at all.

An OK indie.......2006-07-21

The story was OK. There were some funny moments. There were some intersting statements made on relationships and finding ones true self, but I've seen better indies.

Entertaining.......2006-03-16

The movie has a simple premise. It's about a young woman, who's just struggling with her cultural identity. For a indie flick, it has a good story.

Cool enough.......2005-11-28

A good movie, with no useless moralisms and a new mindset for facing racial issues.

wonderful can relate to it myself.......2004-10-18

this was a wonderfully funny movie, and I can relate to its message of how difficult it is to fit in a society that tries to categorize you when you're a mixture, not a single entity. I myself was born in america, but my folks are from India, and I also have had to balance out my traditional practices with my western ideals while living in the West, both around americans and Indians, like Nia had to find her way to accept being both white and black. While I'm not bi-racial, the idea of an identity search and crisis is the same, and it's always a feeling of you're too Indian to be american, but you're still too american to be indian, so like nia, who felt she was too white to be black, but too black to be white, i also had a hard time (and still sometimes Do), have a hard time fitting in with my white and Indian friends. Yet, I've learned to overcome it, and learned that I should just be me, and do what I feel is right in my heart, regardless of what other whites or Indians think, as Nia learned to just be herself, and she'll be accepted. In all, this was a great movie, funny, heartwrenching, and witty, and it geows in your heart. Karyn Parsons was wonderful. I also want to say she's gorgeous, with her tanned skin which has a rosiness behind it, as well as her sharp features and deep-set eyes. It goes to show you that mixed kids can be the most beautiful in the world!:) She should've tried modelling, for I think, judging from this movie, and in her days from the fresh prince of bel air, that she can pass as a beauty queen even in her off hours. She's just so beautiful, and a great actress.
