• Don't get me wrong, "Brown Sugar" is a cute movie. And I got all of the references to hip-hop and being in love, yadda, yadda, yadda. All the same, I was waiting for the surprise, the twist, something else. Nothing new was added to the genre. Mos Def, as the bright spot, managed to deliver a refreshing character in spite of the "been down this road before" script. Wait until you can catch it on cable.
