Jay Brooks is that black guy who digs indie rock, graphic novels, and dates white chicks. After a slew of bad break-ups, Jay gives up white women, "cold turkey," and he goes on a mission: "Operation Brown Sugar". But because Jay doesn't fit the "brotha" stereotype, he fails miserably with the "sistahs." Then he meets the dynamic Catherine, a misunderstood "Half-rican Canadian", who's as righteously quirky as he is. To win her heart, Jay must confront his fears as he realizes commitment is a bigger issue than race.

This movie was terrible. Let me make a movie about "Black men beat white woman" and let the NAACP come rolling with the red carpet to my door. I would be called a racist by many and the movie would be banned butfor some reason this movie is OK. I am white and believe in human rights but I wish movie company's would stop spreading so much hate.Movies like this affect are young people, so think about the younger generation and where we are headed with RACIST movies!!!! We have a so call man looking for love or sex , and from white woman but yet an African American comes across his path. Human beings will will fall in love with whom they choose, not bu by color, wealth or social status. The heart is strong organ and will define your path of loyalty.

Terrible, terrible title aside (it doesn't describe the movie well), I'm Through with White Girls is a great indie movie. It somewhat reminded me of Hav Plenty in the way that it is a black movie that's smart and funny without resorting to stereotypical black movie buffoonery.I think what's best about this movie (and misleading about the title) is that it isn't a movie about race, but it is a romantic comedy that talks about race in a smart and realistic way. Also, it has the classic romcom elements, but isn't predictable. I really identified with the characters, especially the main character. The acting and direction is mostly on point. Mostly, unlike many other black films, it doesn't feel like an "urban" remake of some other movie. It is a unique film.The only thing holding this movie back from getting an 10 is the fact that you can tell it's an independent movie: some shots run too long, some of the comedic moments are corny, and the budget obviously isn't very high. Aside from that, it's a great flick.And just to be clear: despite the title, it's not a movie that's against interracial relationships.

I loved this movie...my family is mixed-race also; and I found the issues of fear of intimacy and the frequent awkwardness of dating well portrayed. I thought the dancing older woman in the wedding reception was cool. It felt like the process of getting to know other people belonged to all generations. The young leads were sexy and talented; can't wait to see more of them in the future. I do wish IMDb would list all the songs from the movie, as a soundtrack from the movie has not been released, and I especially enjoyed the songs at the wedding reception. Finally, all the talk about race issues was respectful and timely.

I just don't understand all the good reviews above. I read the other comments and decided to watch this movie and the only thing I can say is: "I wish you could get a refund on time you had to waste on bad movies".I really hated this movie and can not remember the last time I didn't finish a movie. I REALLY tried, but after about 45 minutes I started to fast-forward. This is supposed to be a comedy??? about relationships. But the story is lame and the jokes are predictable. Save your time and money and DO NOT watch this movie.
