Typical romantic story of "star-crossed" lovers that works mainly because of Tessa Thompson and a surrounding cast that was clearly needed to support the one weak link for me, Nnamdi Asomugha, the romantic male lead. I'm not saying he can't act but, compared to the other cast members, he seemed a little bit over his head. I think a more seasoned actor could have added a little more "sizzle" to the scenes with him and Thompson's character. The tension he brought seemed a little to contrived for me. I mean Rege-Jean Page, was able to pull off that "bad-boy player" image with the ladies, better than I thought given the "black American jazz musician" backdrop story line.
