"Men & Women vs. Drama"
This is a Excellent movie. The movie proves that men, come with just as much drama as women. Also it has alot of humerous laughter. With a great cast.

Give me head or I'll give you hell.
This film concerns black men and nothing but black men, but these black men in the USA, due to their African heritage they cannot deny in any way though they at times don't even know about it and their European or western surroundings that they have not chosen whatsoever and yet cannot evade in the slightest way imaginable, (these black men) represent what white men are already living or will eventually soon live due to white women's liberation. Black women have never been the slaves of their men ever, and particularly not as much and as far as white women just fifty years ago still. The relations between black men and black women have to be built on personally chosen terms that have to vary from one pair of partners to another. That's what's love: something unique for each pair, couple or even group of people who experience it. Then why four men, with one father and one mother (in fact with a slight appearance of a second mother and a slightly less slight appearance of a third mother) behind? Four men like the four evangelists, the four gospels, the four cardinal points, the four winds, the four elements composing the universe, so many other four whatever. Four is a cultural structure that conveys in our civilization the idea of balance, equilibrium and perfection, and yet also that of a certain crucifixion, which is in its turn the promise of a resurrection and even farther off the promise of the final end of our world of tears and the eternal emergence of the messianic Jerusalem, the fulfilling of the millenium long prediction. Four men, thus, but one of them is different, the little young John, the visionary and apocalyptic one, three synoptic ones and one who stands apart. Patterns cannot evade our subconscious, and quite often conscious, way of thinking and imagination. For these men, the group, the brotherhood is the base to which you go back when you are disoriented. In our world and in African tradition it is not any more or has never been the family, at least certainly not the cellular family, a 19th century invention that is plainly exploding today when one adult buries his parents at the same time as he retires from his job and when his children are already raising their own children into teenage and high school. What they experience is love, manly love as Walt Whitman used to call it. But for their own sake they need procreative love that is hormonal, heterosexual and family-line forming. Black men are more advanced than white men, though their experience would look messy to white men: that is the kind of mess awaiting white men in the near future: they will have to live up to it or retire into oblivion. For white men it sounds like castration, frustration, and some other perversions. In fact it is looking for love where it is: everywhere. Love for procreation and physical pleasure that goes through sex, love for life experience and spiritual or professional performance and perspective, love for intimate sharing and interlacing of feelings, emotions and reflections. The latter two types have no obligation to be heterosexual since they are not sexual. The first type has to be sexual but is open today to personal and private choices. The film deals with this issue without any discretion at all with a wife refusing, being unable to give head to her husband - note well it is because her mummy told her it was disgusting. What her mummy told her definitely was disgusting and mean and coming from a time when sex was not pleasure but only a duty to be performed in order to continue the biological race and the blood line of the family. Finally note the director is very careful to avoid any ambiguous situation among these four men and even the father who is a fifth man, the fifth branch of a pentacle. No ambiguity, not even a hint, though of course we could see a lot of symbolic nuances and innuendo. But who understands symbolism in our world of direct and immediate real time communication: symbolism is indirect, delayed and slowed down communication, the food for the thinking of intellectuals.

Mildly entertaining and has a nice flow
It's about four good looking and professional Black men. "The Brothers" is what they call themselves collectively. Each has a story around them. One falls in love for a woman who dated his dad. She's reluctant to tell him this even as their relationship deepens. Another is angry at Black woman and bad-mouthes them. It's because he's hurt about how his mother treats him. The third is a guy who plays the field and been with so many women that when he announces he's is going to marry the one he's with now, "the brothers" are shocked. One thing he doesn't like about her is her gun. The last is married and has a little girl. He wants his wife to try something different in bed, she doesn't want to calling it "nasty". They both get stubborn over this issue and causes a lot of tension between them.

Very Funny!
I thought the movie was highly enjoyable. A little corny at times but still a very good and well filmed movie. It was good to see how far minority films have progressed in portraying us in a positive light. The friendship between the characters plays out well and has some extremely funny moments. I recommend this movie to anyone who is looking for a good comedy with a very funny plot.
