Kenya McQueen is a successful African-American CPA, working her way to the top of the corporate ladder -- but her life has become all work and no play. Urged on by her friends to try something new and to let go of her dream of the "ideal black man," she accepts a blind date with an architectural landscaper named Brian, only to cut the date short upon first sight, because Brian is white. The two meet again at a party, and Kenya hires Brian to landscape her new home. Over time, they hit it off, but Kenya's reservations about the acceptance their romance will find among her friends and family threatens everything. An intelligent romantic comedy that chooses to deal with issues of race and perception in a straight-forward way, from a point of view not often seen: that of a successful, upper-class black woman.
Leave your thoughts about Something New.
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxFirst-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. |
| L.A. WeeklyTim GriersonSomething New never feels remotely like the world we live in - it's a fabrication of a gauzy romantic-comedy movieland where people of all colors can be equally trite and dull. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertSomething New delivers all the usual pleasures of a love story, and something more. The movie respects its subject and characters, and is more complex about race than we could possibly expect. |
| Now Playing MagazineBrent SimonBreezily uncomplicated enough to enjoy relatively wide commercial appeal... |
| FilmJerk.comBrian OrndorfSomething New had the brains to be better than the typical romantic comedy servings; but it gives in to doubt and formula far too easily, taking the steam out of the filmmakers' ambitions. |
| Detroit Free PressJohn MonaghanEven when skewering the pompousness of upper-class black mobility, it's still adorable. |
| Houston ChronicleAmy BiancolliSomething New is actually something totally unexpected: a blissfully swoony romance spiked with frank talk about race and class that nudges the plot forward but never feels forced. |
| Dallas Morning NewsJean Nash JohnsonIf February is prime time for celebrating romance and black culture, then Something New delivers a powerfully seductive two-for-the-show. |
| Denver PostLisa KennedySomething New is an observant, clever riff on the familiar problems of romance and the career gal. |
| Contra Costa TimesRandy MyersSomething New delivers the romantic goods. Better yet, it's entertaining and incredibly sexy. |
