I'm Through with White Girls (2007)

Redundant and unnecessary.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

This title is incredibly racist. I cannot believe that movies like this are allowed to be made. Imagine a movie all about the perils of dating black men.OH NO BUT THAT WOULD BE RACIST, WOULDN'T IT?It's incredibly sad that as a society we're unable to get over the whole race issue. We try and teach our children to look beyond a persons skin color, but movies like this continue to surface. How can a child ignore race when it is thrust in their faces everywhere, even at the movies. The title alone is unacceptable, and no amount of moral learned is an excuse to have that as a title. Might as well change the movie to "I'm a Huge Racist"

This movie throws in a few "white" thinkers but for most of the movie you are spent hearing about "black" centered logic and why it is different instead of being proud in being different. Valley girl references, "totally overrated" comments, NYT indifference (because, well maybe, it is white). This movie is wrong because it is color based (how many tired of black girls movies do you buy tickets for?).There are a lot of white men tired of black woman. There are a lot of white women tired of black men. There are a lot of black women tired of black men and apparently there are a lot of black men tired of white women. There are a lot of black women tired of black men. There are a lot of black men tired of black women. I am not tired because my color does not wear me like it does for so many.In the future, this will be cringe worthy but a sign of the embarrassing times. The plight of color in America needs to change and for black Americans to not join in with the guilt of white Americans handing on their blame game is perpetuating the problem. When you think only a color can understand you, I think you are missing the funny between both of us and the fact that white and black are colors.

Terrible, terrible title aside (it doesn't describe the movie well), I'm Through with White Girls is a great indie movie. It somewhat reminded me of Hav Plenty in the way that it is a black movie that's smart and funny without resorting to stereotypical black movie buffoonery.I think what's best about this movie (and misleading about the title) is that it isn't a movie about race, but it is a romantic comedy that talks about race in a smart and realistic way. Also, it has the classic romcom elements, but isn't predictable. I really identified with the characters, especially the main character. The acting and direction is mostly on point. Mostly, unlike many other black films, it doesn't feel like an "urban" remake of some other movie. It is a unique film.The only thing holding this movie back from getting an 10 is the fact that you can tell it's an independent movie: some shots run too long, some of the comedic moments are corny, and the budget obviously isn't very high. Aside from that, it's a great flick.And just to be clear: despite the title, it's not a movie that's against interracial relationships.

I originally saw this film at the Black film festival in Martha's Vineyard. I loved it write from the get-go. It's a great love story chronicling Jay Brooks' love lives and this quest he puts himself on. It The acting acting is terrific and the production values are excellent. The characters are engaging- some very abstract and others stereotyped for specific effects- and the way they all mesh together and the ending itself are superb. I truly loved every moment of this movie.However do not be deceived by the title. It is not some big racial slur, joking about black men and white women. It actually reveals that race is is a superficial element that is often overly stressed in relationships and that the issue (at least with Brooks) is commitment.I only just am reviewing it not because it came up in a conversation earlier today, but if you every have an opportunity see this movie do so. I highly recommend it.
