Plot: Writer-director Christopher Scott Cherot (Hav Plenty) based his second feature, G, on F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel, The Great Gatsby. Tre (Andre Royo), a writer for a music magazine, goes out to the Hamptons to interview a wealthy and mysterious rap mogul, Summer G (Richard T. Jones), who's recently bought a home there. Tre first stops in on his cousin, Sky (Chenoa Maxwell, who also starred in Hav Plenty) and her control freak millionaire husband, Chip (Blair Underwood). Tre soon learns that Chip is brazenly cheating on Sky, and he even witnesses Chip smack his girlfriend around. Tre doesn't have much luck getting close to Summer G, until the music impresario finds out that Tre is related to Sky, whom he dated in college. Summer G asks Tre to arrange a meeting with Sky, and Tre, apparently upset with the way Chip has been treating Sky, helps Summer G connect with his old flame. Summer G tells Sky that he still loves her, and she begins an affair with him. The snobby old money Chip, already predisposed to dislike Summer G because of his hip-hop lifestyle, suspects that there's something going on, and plots to have Summer G chased from their exclusive Hamptons neighborhood. G was produced by Andrew Lauren, fashion designer Ralph Lauren's son, who also appears in the film as Adam Gordon, Summer G's manager. G was shown at the 2002 {~Tribeca Film Festival} and at the 2002 {~Urbanworld Film Festival}. ~ Josh Ralske, All Movie Guide

I just bought this movie last month after seeing it on tv (where was I when it came out in the movies???) and can't stop watching it. It is Sexy and Classy. Robert T. Jones is suave, sexy, manly and just frickin chocolaty Gorgeous in this flick...Chenoa is gorgeous, wish we can see her in more films and Blair as usual can Act is A$$ off! A must have for your collection.

VERY GOOD

This movie was better than I anticipated it to be. The acting by Blair Underwood and Richard T. Jones was awesome. I thought the story line could have been much better but well worth seeing.

I didnt think it was that bad

The movie has beautiful people, styling, and scenery. OK acting, a very unrealistic story line, and the over all movie definitely could have been better. I'm not to familiar with the Great Gatsby so that may be why I just didn't get the movie... however it was captivating and kept my attention.

A word for teachers

Without negating what other reviewers already have said about the movie itself, let me add that this is a great counterpoint to the Robert Redford version of Gatsby. If you can get past the language (it's pretty rough, especially with several actors' overabundant use of the "f" word) and a pretty graphic love scene between Summer G and Skye (though we only see their backs) -- hey, this is a PG, after all -- it's a nice update of the original movie. I show parts of G to my inner-city high school students after we watch the Redford version. They immediately see the similarities and point out the differences, and actually get enthusiastic about the story. G has never failed to help me help my students connect to the original Gatsby. Be careful and judicious in your use of G, but think about using parts of it to help students connect to the original source material.

THIS MOVIE WAS BEAUTIFUL,ROMANTICE, HEARTFILLED,AND SIMPLY VERY ENTERTAINING. BLAIR UNDERWOOD IS A PHENONMENAL ACTOR, HE HAS ALL OF THE REVIEWER HATING ON HIM. MY OPINION IS HE MASTERS THIS TYPE OF ROLL,I SAW HIM IN ANOTHER MOVIE SIMILAR TO THIS ONE W/ MICHAEL BEACH AND DEBBI MORGAN,THE MANAICAL,BOYFRIEND/HUSBAND (EXCELLENT)!!!!! RICHARD T, U ARE ONE FIIINNE CHOCOLATE BROTHER, SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL, WHICH ONLY ENHANCES UR ACTING ABILITIES,WHICH TO ME U R EQUALLY AS PHENOMENAL , VERY TALENTED,GIFTED ACTOR!!!! U ARE HIGHLY UNDER RATED WHICH TO ME IS ABOMINALBLE!!!!!WE NEED TO SEE U MORE OF U!!! CHENOA WAS A VERY BEATIFUL WOMAN,I PRAY U MUCH SUCCESS!!!! GET THIS MOVIE, WORTH UR LOOT!!!!!!!
