Peter Bradshaw: A buppie romcom set in the world of New York hip-hop. Inoffensive, unremarkable stuff
  
  


That title might remind you of the Rolling Stones track, with its distinctly disempowering sentiments about race and sex. Actually, this is a buppie romcom set in the world of New York hip-hop.

Taye Diggs and Sanaa Lathan play two childhood friends who grow up to be, respectively, a Cristal-quaffing record producer and a smart young music critic. They have a When-Harry-Met-Sally joshing friendship, unable to admit how freaked out they are about each other's relationships, and in the end - well, guess what? Inoffensive, unremarkable stuff.
