Overview

Career-minded corporate accountant Kenya McQueen is set up on a blind date with sexy, free-spirited landscape architect Brian Kelly, but backs out when she realizes that he is white. Impressed with his work on a friend's mansion, she hires Brian to design her new home's backyard -- and he sweeps her off her feet. But after a disagreement, her brother's mentor, executive Mark Harper, unexpectedly calls and she starts dating her seemingly ideal man. Kenya must choose between the type of man she always dreamed she wanted or giving in to life's little surprises.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A sharp romantic comedy that treats questions of race, class, and expectation with genuine weight alongside genuine warmth. It's the kind of film that makes you laugh and think at once, insisting that love stories can be messy and meaningful in the same breath.
