Misogynist Film of the Moment: I'm Through with White Girls 13 11 2009
This wasn't the kind of movie i'd normally waste my time watching. I mean, there's "How to Be a Player" and everything else is mostly the same. I thought it was worth a good viewing. You know that means 30 minutes of straight criticism. By the time I get to the scene where the star, Jay, is running from one of his ex white wifeys, crawling across a bar floor, using innocent bystanders as shields to get away, I forget that I am critiquing and start watching the movie. The plot crept up on me. The star of the movie, Anthony Montgomery portrays the white guy in a black guy body lead Jay to a tee, reminding me of buddies I went to school with who suffered from this flaw in their dating habits. They dated white women because they related to white women more. When they tried to date black girls, sisters, whatever, they were usually dissed. Jay attempts to correct his bad fortune with women by going cold turkey on the white girl. As he sees it, he is single because he can't see himself committing seriously to a white woman so he naturally looks for reasons to sabotage even the good ones.
He goes on a round robin of dates with black women but that only justifies the past and he is about ready to fold on his principals to get some ass when he meets Catherine, a writer from Canada, who comes from a biracial family. Catherine is a quirky, smoking, therapist seeing eccentric who fits perfectly to Jay's sensibilities. They begin to date and love grows between the too.
Then it happens. Jay begins to find flaws and creates ways to sabotage what all his friends agree is the best thing that has happened to him. And sure enough he does.
But immediately realizes that it won't get no better than this. But before he can get his girl back, Catherine, played by Lia Johnson has moved on with her quirky little self. He begs to get her back, but it isn't until he busts a move at the wedding reception does she fully understand how he really feels about her.
I am recommending this movie because it made me cry. It has a good story and is well acted for an independent movie. Furthermore it talks about black romance in a sweet and entertaining perspective that I have never seen before. But its a good look at black men approaching commitment as a result of getting older.
Enjoy it.
