First-time feature director Sanaa Hamri's virtually perfect romantic comedy is a marvelous mix of brains and heart that confronts serious questions about race and dating with sensitivity, humor and enormous sex appeal.
A satisfying chick flick that follows all the usual rules of the modern romantic comedy except one - it's not stupid.

Manages the neat feat of feeling sweetly inevitable rather than boilerplate predictable.
Wispy at best, this romantic comedy from a first-time director and screenwriter feels as if whole chunks have been left on the cutting-room floor, with what remains mustering intermittent charm thanks to the attractiveness, if not chemistry, of Sanaa Lathan and Simon Baker.
It'll appeal to that segment of the population that goes to movies like this on Valentine's Day, but other than that, Something New feels pretty worn.
This is an inept and unsubtle romantic fantasy about how black people and white people don't mix.
