Review of I'm Through with White Girls (2007) by John S — 03 May 2010
"I'm Through With White Girls" is a mostly effective romantic comedy about two black misfits, one a ne'er-do-well graphic novelist and the other a wholly neurotic rising writer. The plot is exactly what you would expect (boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy regains girl), but that predictability is made enjoyable by the film's well-drawn leads.
Jay and Catherine are actually a compelling screen couple. They really click as, at least to my knowledge, the first onscreen black geek romance. The film also effectively milks racial and class stereotypes for laughs.
It's worth watching, even if the story doesn't completely cohere.
