Something New starring Simon Baker and Sanaa Lathan. Image from: http:\/\/www.impawards.com\/<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When successful corporate lawyer Kenya ( Sanaa Lathan) is set up on a blind date, she is less than pleased to see that her date is Brian Kelly (Simon Baker<\/a>). Not that Brian isn\u2019t good-looking. He is. The problem? He is white. So Kenya doesn\u2019t even give him a chance. But after a chance encounter and a situation she can\u2019t get out of, she decides to hire Brian as a landscape architect for her garden. Even though she thinks they don\u2019t have much in common, their personalities and taste seem to be opposite and she can\u2019t look past the racial issues, she finds herself falling for Brian. Once she lets go, they start having a great relationship. But there will always be doubts (mostly racial) and prejudices on her part.\u00a0 This eventually drives them art. But then she meets Mark (Blair Underwood)-an ambitious black man also working in the corporate world. Obviously he is not without issues. But most importantly, he is not Brian\u2026<\/p>\n

The movie is a sweet little romance. I know it is labeled as a romcom but I don\u2019t think it has many funny moments. It is as romantic as its supposed to be with all the right amount of complications and obstacles. It is fun and completely harmless but nothing to tell the home about really. 6.6 on IMDB. 6\/10 from me. Well, obviously if you want me to rate according to the screen time and the beauty level of Simon Baker, than it is a 10\/10. If you do like Baker, yeah- you should watch it. I enjoyed it. Plus, it was a fun change to see Simon in casual wear after watching him in suits all the time in The Mentalist<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Favorite Lines – Obviously, they came from Brian.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kenya:<\/em> I don\u2019t do dogs.<\/p>\n

Brian:<\/em> Neither do I. We\u2019re just friends.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Brian:<\/em> I take it you don\u2019t do white guys.<\/p>\n

Kenya<\/em>: I just happen to prefer black men. It\u2019s not a prejudice, it\u2019s a preference.<\/p>\n

Brian<\/em>: Sure, it\u2019s your preference to be prejudiced.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Brian:<\/em> I love you.<\/p>\n

Kenya: <\/em>I don\u2019t know what to say.<\/p>\n

Brian<\/em>: Should I give you a hint?<\/p>\n
