Ratings and reviews

It was lack luster i saw it on it's opening day and people were walking out of the movie theater... it had nothing that kept you captivated it left you trying to figure out when is the story of their love going to begin ... im kinda upset because the preview was better than the movie and carona was going around i could've caught it messing around trying to watch this foolishness!

Movie started very slow..the jumping back and forth took a minute to get used to..not enough storeyline for the main characters...glad that I did not sww it in the theatres

Although not as impactful as it's none related predisessor Love Jones it is equally as joyful. It's beautiful. My heart races EVERY time I see it. Issa Rae and Chanté Adams bring such Elegance beauty and truth to their characters. How as a viewer not fall in love with them? Add the handsome leads LaKeith and Y'lan and are feeling virtually cuddled as their stories unfold. The whole cast infact was so warm and comfortable .. like the love we all long for.
