I live south of Los Angeles and know numerous interracial couples, including black-white relationships, so I was somewhat surprised this was still considered to be an issue in 2006, at least in California. It was interesting to me being exposed to a culture where dating outside one's race is still considered a taboo, or at least highly problematic. This was a very interesting, thought-provoking film about an appealing couple, which frankly confronts issues regarding race. As Kenya and Brian work together on her yard, their relationship gradually deepens, and Kenya must decide what really matters in life - love or race? She can't handle the idea of a prospective relationship with someone who isn't black, but shortly thereafter she hires Brian as the landscape architect for her new home. The only problem: Kenya, a black woman, is surprised to discover that her blind date is a white man. The only thing missing is a man.Įnter Brian Kelly (Simon Baker, THE MENTALIST), Kenya's charming blind date. Sanaa Lathan plays Kenya McQueen, a lovely young Los Angeles professional woman who seems to have it all, including a successful career and a new home.
