Diggs, Lathan make perfect mix in 'Brown Sugar'

There hasn't been a love story this good in a long time. From the director of "The Wood" comes a movie that will tug on your heartstrings and possibly make you look at your best friend of the opposite sex in a different light.\n"When Harry Met Sally" showed the world that men and women can't just be friends. "Brown Sugar" is also living proof of that. Dre (Taye Diggs) and Sidney (Sanaa Lathan) grew up together listening to hip hop, and eventually both establish careers in the hip-hop field.\nDre, who works for a record label, and Sidney, an editor of a music magazine, are best friends who are meant to be a couple from the start. But, everything happens for a reason, and in this movie everything happens at the perfect time.\nDiggs and Lathan have the most amazing chemistry on screen. Fans could see it in "The Wood" and in "The Best Man," but "Brown Sugar" blows them both out of the water. It is certainly both actors' finest moments of their careers.\nMos Def plays a levelheaded rapper, Chris V, who is looking for his chance at the big time. Mos Def brings comedic relief to the movie. He's hysterical, and he shows the world that some rappers can actually do an exceptional job at acting.\nFans of "Love and Basketball" can't pass this movie up. It's better than that. "Brown Sugar" is so well crafted that it stands as the most beautiful love story in a good while. Anyone who's ever been in love can feel all the emotions all over again just by watching the movie. It's very mature, classy and well thought out. "Brown Sugar" takes many steps beyond other movies in its genre and is well worth a trip to the theater.
