All that changes when she meets sexy, free-spirited Brian Kelly. But when her ideal man arrives on the scene, Kenya must decide between the relationship everyone expects and the romance no one expected.

There is something about movies made during late 90s and the 2000s the way they are experimental with their plots and touch on topics that movies today lack is beautiful especially since in today society it is needed more then ever but sadly thats where it lacks. But thats why I like this movie you ether like it or don't because of how strong the topics brought up are of course this movie is still flawed all movies are but I think this is a movie that was simple but powerful relatable but reassuring too. This is definitely going in my top 10 for romance movies I think it definitely is a hidden gem in romance.
