Plot: The trajectories of two opposing romantic relationships are fodder for this African-American screwball comedy from co-writer, star, and director Rusty Cundieff. Montel (Cundieff) and Clyde (Joe Torry) stars as friends who couldn't be less alike. An introverted photographer, Montel wants to meet the one right girl for him and settle down to build a family, while Clyde is a flamboyant womanizer just out for a good time. At a party, they meet Adina (Paula Jai Parker), a sexy golddigger seeking a wealthy husband with robotic determination, and her shy law clerk friend Brandy (Tisha Campbell). The couples pair off in predictable combinations, but while the brief encounter between Clyde and Adina quickly implodes when she discovers that Clyde's success is an act and his Porsche is borrowed, the relationship between Montel and Brandy blooms into a true romance. Eventually, they decide to marry, leaving Clyde and Adina to reunite in a selfish scheme to break their best friends up using whatever treacherous means they can employ. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

If you are African-American and like romantic comedies that have a good character base, then this movie is for you. The central story is around 2 people and their friends. The two main characters are what makes this movie a nice strong and positive movie for African-Americans, while the two side characters are what bring the slapstick comedy in all of its forms.

Overall, the movie is warm and close and has many things to offer that most people dont believe a movie of its caliber could posses. This is the type of movie that can be picked from the shelf at any time and in any circle and watched. Ladies, does your man typically hate romantic movies? Well, youre in luck cause this is the movie that will keep him in his seat.

Whatever justice this review cannot do for the movie, I leave with this; BUY THIS MOVIE, YOU WONT REGRET IT.

Good people
Good theme
Good and BELIEVABLE plot
Strong and TIMELESS message
Good movie about Good people who find something soft and sweet within one another in the harsh world where we all reside.

Fabulously funny

I enjoy Rusty Cundieff's works (Tales From the Hood & Fear of A Black Hat) in general, but this movie is not only funny, but romantic & real. It was one of those movies my wife & i had in common before we even knew each other (this has happened a few times), and we still enjoy reciting the dialogue together every time we watch it.

There's nothing out there like "SPRUNG".It's got romance and comedy all roll into one package.It's definitely a movie to watch any day of the week.The first time I saw this movie,it was on CABLE.I had no idea it was going 2 be this good.Just plain hilarious.I love that Brandy and Montell stayed 2gether despite the fact that their so called friends wanted 2 ruin their relationship when they(Adina and Clyde)found out that the whole thing was 4 real.And I also love the way Montell talks about how love feels like.Hit me pretty hard.I think that both men and women would appreciate such an art of a movie.

Sprung is the story of 4 friends Clyde (Joe Torry), Adina (Paula Jai Parker), Brandy (Tisha Campbell) and Montel (Rusty Cundieff) . Clyde and Adina who are both playas hook up immediately and Adina finds out that Clyde isn't the rich man she thought he was and hilarity ensues (check the scene with Clyde riding on top of Adina's car in only his jockey underwear). Meanwhile against Clyde and Adina's wishes, Brandy and Montel fall in love and are truly happy. Clyde and Adina conspire to break up their friends's happy relationship, accusing the twosome of being "Sprung". Overall this is a very sweet romance and it also very funny. I've worn out my video and recently purchased this on DVD and I"m quite happy I did and I think you should get it too!
