Racist against whites.


Why is it a black man who helps Stella get her groove back?

Personally, i think it would've been better for race relations to have a caucasian gentleman be the benefactor of Stella's groove... Cast someone like a Zach Braff, Michael Cera, or Shia LeBouf... any one of them could've helped Stella with said groove.

Please.
First, I hope that was sarcasm when you said that the movie was racist against whites. Not.Even.Close.
Second, what "race relations" are you talking about? Stella's sister was already married to a white man in the movie; how many "Jungle Fever" references do you need?
I thought the characters were just fine. ;)

There are plenty of "black" movies that are racist towards whites, but this is certainly not one of them.

Shia LeBouf was 12 when this movie came out. I don't think he would have made a good match in this movie. I don't think he would have even fit in this movie.

wow, this has got to be the best trolling i've seen so far on IMDb. Michael Cera vs Taye Diggs?!?!?! Taye Diggs was one of the hottest men on the planet when this movie was filmed. Michael Cera is goofy-cute at best. the others are even worse.

nothing to do with race relations - in fact, had it been a caucasian actor, people would have been up in arms about 'why couldn't it have been a black guy?'

and, for the record, i'm Mrs Whitey McWhiteywhite and Taye Diggs could help me with any dang thing he wants.

What are you talking about? This is about Terri McMillan's real life. she went to Jamaica met a man 20 years younger than she was and married him. He was black and so was she. Who cares. Your post is so stupid. This movie came out in 1998 and Shia LeBeouf was 12 at the time, he's the same age as me. Why would they get a 12 year old kid to play that role.
