HOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, May 20 2002
This is the best hood love story i have seen.Black Thought and the rest of The Roots had a great performance. Black with his love for a jewish girl and hate for the rest of the jews.He lets his heart decide and not his mind or boys. Him and his crew are the best in the music business.if you like this movie I recommend you to get all their cds.Peace.

Worthwhile, Feb 24 2002
This is an independent film about forbidden love and the ensuing violent cultural clashes between Brooklyn's African-American and Jewish Communities. The storyline is somewhat predictable, but the film's musical score, detailed cinematography, and suprisingly decent acting make it a worthwhile watch. The chemistry between the main characters Sol (Tariq Trotter) and Sara (Karen Goberman), was not entirely believable, and the acting by the secondary actors could have used some touching up. Allusions to Ancient Babylon and King Solomon's Empire put an interesting twist on the story. You will see visually spectacular footage of Brooklyn's Carribean Festival (a kind of Mardi Gras celebration). If you've never seen or heard the Roots perform, you are in for a treat. They present an evocative style of Hip-Hop, without relying on those played out themes (i.e. money, sex, violence). The sound they create is truly organic and full of musical integrity. Yes, we've seen forbidden love stories before, but none quite like this.
