    I loved it .... a love story with hiphop metaphor.

    Excellent movie, entertaining, clean (for the most), funny and romantic. I have read a lot of bad of mediocre reviews about the movie, but I do not understand what they were looking for. The movie delivered what it was about. Only shortfall is the soundtrack.

    Despite crisp photography and the director's gift for building a scene, the film doesn't click until the third act, when Mos Def's performance as Dre's protégé appears to energize everyone around him.

    A good cast, terrific soundtrack, and genial spirit all help the film go down smoothly.
