Stiles and Thomas supply what this movie needs most: a heartbeat.

To the film's credit, it tries, and while it never really sings, it does deliver the dance.

It pays knowing respect not only to high school social politics, but also to racial politics among today's young people.

Formulaic teen romance with an MTV spin.

As teen melodrama, well, Carter's film is what it is; but for such a mainstream black-consciousness movie, at least it doesn't shy from addressing some touchy issues about masculinity, parenthood, and black attitudes to whites.

A refreshingly friendly view of a romance between people of different pigmentation, an area where more respectable pictures still wimp out.

Squanders nice performances by Julia Stiles and Sean Patrick Thomas by confining them and the supporting cast to cookie-cutter roles and hackneyed inner-city subplots.
