Plot: What do you do after love at first sight? That's the question posed in this romantic comedy-drama set in Chicago. Darius Lovehall (Larenz Tate) is a novelist who is giving a reading at the Sanctuary, an upscale club presenting jazz and poetry to a bohemian clientele. Shortly before his set, he meets Nina Mosley (Nia Long), a woman who is a gifted photographer, despite the fact that she just lost her job. They exchange small talk, and Darius makes his interest clear when -- on the spot -- he retitles a love poem A Blues For Nina. A mutual attraction is sparked between them; soon Darius finds Nina's address on a check and shows up unannounced at her apartment, a visit resulting in a photo session that turns seriously sexy. So far, so good, but neither Darius or Nina are sure where to go next after this promising start. She's just gotten out of a relationship and isn't sure if she still cares for her old boyfriend or not, while Darius' buddies read him the riot act for wanting to give up his freedom so early on in the game. Love Jones was the debut feature for African-American writer and director Theodore Witcher; Isaiah Washington, Bill Bellamy, and Lisa Nicole Carson lead the supporting cast. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

i saw this last weekend for the first time in 11 years and it did not seem dated at all...it was still lively and fresh. it is a revelation to see black movies made by black people that portray black people in a positive light, that doesn't succumb to stereotypes...or show black people the way others think they see them...i'm pretty iffy about romantic comedy...most romantic comedies tend to serve up cliches and they rarely have real endings...i'm not above happy endings, just not at the expense of truth....the realationship between darius and nina, played by larenz tate and nia long is real...true to form, they meet, fall in love, stumble, get back together, screw up more and yet,they still try to make it work...when i read the review for this movie, it was supposed to be an advertisement for the black poetry/spoken word scene...but this film goes deeper than that...it's just about black people trying their best to maintain their relationships, even if they're not always perfect...larenz tate was always underrated as a black actor...and yes, ladies, he is good eye candy...nia long is probably one of the few women besides my mom and sis i would take a bullet for...she's like a smooth piece of belgian chocolate....whether you've seen it once or 100 times, it's great....

The subtlety is what makes this film brilliant! And while others thought the film was slow and unimpressive I thought that the film depicted much of real life young love relationship with plenty of ups and downs. The backdrop of old chicago was a nice touch. It was very appealing to all of my artistic senses(music, poetry, photography etc) The soundtrack is perfectly fitting. Nia Long and Lorenz Tate had great chemistry. It is hands down my favorite movie; a must see!
