A black girl bringing home a white boyfriend adds another layer of conflict aside from all the other obstacles that could prevent two people from being together. This movie did a wonderful job of exploring a relationship from a different perspective. Rom-coms and dramas about getting cheated on, falling for the new kid in town, etc. are trite and overused themes. I thought that this movie was refreshing but also entertaining throughout.
The only thing that left me a little unsatisfied was how unconvincing the conflict between Theresa and Simon was. Simon lied to Theresa about one thing and they are at risk of getting separated. I think the movie needed something a little more consequential and dramatic to warrant the response that Theresa had.
All in all, fun watch.
