When I saw this a few years ago, I thought it was a good film dealing with hard topics, such as the disastrous interference that family can cause in interracial relationships, and the irony that though a couple themselves might have no issue with each other, others might. The importance of honesty and sticking up for each other in the face of opposition are key notes. Both leads gave solid performances: one the emotional; the other the avoidant; and you'll never forget the actress's charming smile. A heartwarming film descending into heavy topics, realistically depicted and without false romanticism. 6.5-7/10.
