"I really don't know exactly how this got into the canon of Black love stories. This movie is very chaotic, and the stakes for the relationship are extremely low."By the last scene in the film when our leads finally make it official, Lucky and Justice have spent days together in the cramped USPS truck traveling to Oakland with their friends. Though much of their time on the road is spent arguing, there’s an obvious romantic vibe between them.
The thing that doesn’t really work for me is that I’m not sure if Justice’s forgiveness is earned. Lucky says, “Listen, I want you to know I'm sorry. I made a mistake.” What about,It's not giving enough desperation. He's not begging.
Sir, where is the adoration? Even if I have an attitude, I want a man to be obsessed with me and treat me well. Also, I don't date guys with kids, so the kid thing would've been a deal breaker for me.I like it for the gworls, not for me. I don't like things to be complicated. In my love life and my personal life, I like things to be very neat and simple. Lucky’s baby mama is still alive, and she's dealing with addiction.
I want a love scene in every romance movie. I just think it should be a prerequisite. We're all grown here. This is a grown folks movie.It’s a grown folks movie, but is it romantic? The movie isn't that romantic, if we’re being honest. I get that the overarching story is the romance between Lucky and Justice but everything else is pretty traumatic. And I think that was John Singleton's point.
