Sidney and Dre can attribute their lifelong friendship and the launch of their careers to one single childhood instant... witnessing the birth of hip-hop on a New York street corner. Now some 15 years later, she is a revered music critic at a national magazine and he is a successful, though unfulfilled, hip-hop record company executive. Both come to realize that their true life passions will only be fulfilled by remembering what they learned that day on the corner.

A great rom-com. Chris’s lines carried the comedy and the closing scene was beautiful.

just a black rom com that isn’t weird and stereotypically messy! there is the cheating trope but every few romcoms are guilty of that
