Boy meets girl, and boy loses girl--no more and no less than that--in this romantic story of young, upwardly mobile African Americans navigating through Chicago club culture to the perilous shores of a relationship. The film was surprisingly popular at a couple of key film festivals in 1997, but there isn't anything particularly noteworthy about it aside from its rare emphasis on a love affair between black urbanites. Larenz Tate and Nia Long are fine in the leads (Tate makes a convincingly self-centered boy-man), and director Theodore Witcher aims for his small target and hits it squarely. --Tom Keogh

 WHY DOESNT THIS COME ON CABLE OR TV? December 15, 2009
HONDA (CHICAGO, IL United States)
an all time classic!!! i love this movie from begining to end just the journey of all the couples in the movie and thier situations and how they handle the ups and downs and just deal with problems everyone goes through in relationships i never get tired of watching it my friends always want to borrow it but never that is a no,no in my place either watch it here or its a no go i dont part with it for anything i either buy it for them as gifts when birthdays or christmas other than that you have to get your OWN COPY!
One of the best in my book..... November 17, 2009
P. V. Thomas (NEW YORK)
I love this film, I love this soundtrack- I think it is on par with Pretty Woman as one of the best love stories. Not only did this movie help 2 really good actors shine. I fell in love with the plot, storyline- the only thing wrong with this move is that its not longer- I want to see "where they are now". Did i mention I LOVE THIS FILM- ok good :)
I got a Love Jones for this movie November 16, 2009
Nuisance (Miami)
Late film critic Gene Siskel said that this movie shows how easy it is to make a movie. He was giving it a compliment even though now that might have been taken as an insult these days. Even though I didnt always agree with Gene Siskel, I agree with him here. Love Jones is a shining example of how a love story should be: realistic with real characters in real situations.
The story chronicles the ups and downs of the relationship between Darius Lovehall(Larenz Tate) and Nina(Nia Long). Larenz Tate and Nia Long are more than just a beautiful couple on screen. These two actually have chemistry together. You can feel the vibe between these two whenever the are on screen and its fantastic.
Bill Bellamy is pretty funny as the deceitful Wood and Lisa Nicole Carson is great as Nina's friend Simone. Isaiah Washington is just as great as Darius's close friend Savon and I sigh every time I see him in a movie. The guy is a great actor whose movie career is put on halt by industry lowlifes and the childish games they play. You can believe that he called the little weasel on Grey's Anatomy out of his name but anybody that knows how Follywood works knows better than to believe any "official story" from the biggest liars on the planet. At any rate...
Love Jones is a wonderful love story full of interesting and likable characters that are in realistic situations that anybody that has been in love can relate too. You love these people(yes even Bill Bellamy's character even though what he did to Darius was wrong) because they are believable and are not portrayed as gangstas and tramps. Not one obscene stereotype can be found here. Contrast that with the Romance movies of toady. Exactly. In closing if you love Black Cinema then you would do well to own a copy of this movie.
You All THE BEST! October 17, 2009
