For struggling novelist Lee Plenty, the only thing sorrier than his writing career is his love life. That is, until Lee's old college friend, Havilland, invites him to her home to celebrate New Year's Eve. Before long, Lee finds himself surrounded by three gorgeous women: Havilland, her uninhibited best friend, and her affection-starved sister. It looks like Lee's in for a weekend filled with plenty of laughter, love and surprises.

Surprisingly good!
I remember seeing this movie in the video store back in the '90s but I never wanted to get it because it didn't look like my cup of tea and later on I saw it advertised on Amazon years later and I saw that it had good reviews but still I didn't think it was my cup of tea so a month ago I just decided to give it a try and it was pretty good you should check it out!

A Classic in Its Own Right!
Hav Plenty is a great telling of a real-life love story between two best friends whose playful tensions bloom through the different situations they encounter with the friends and family of Havaland or "Hav". Lee "Plenty", the other half of this bestfriend duo retells the love encounters in his life through a book he is righting based on the events of a New Years weekend.The first time I saw this movie on the cable channel "STARZ" I was convinced that this movie would be a black romance classic. However it did not get as much attention from critics and audiences as its sister movie "Soulfood". I feel that this movie is a more realistic tale of love and romance and the true depiction of a love-charged relationship between friends of the opposite sex. If you like romances with a realistic feel, this is the movie for you. The acting is nowhere near oscar gold, but the performances are still real and believable. (If you've ever spent a weekend with family and friends, then you know how crazy people can act.) Overall this movie is a classic in its own right.This movie is great for times when you just want to relax and watch a movie with a friend or boyfriend/girlfriend...you will definitely enjoy yourself.

Where is this guy?
Why hasn't Christopher Scott Cherot acted since Hav Plenty? He is amazing in this film. I need more of that sarcastic, I don't care if you like me or not attitude. And the film itself is amazing. It is the first to manage to portray affluent blacks in a vast array. The characters reflect dignity. Sure there's some snobbishness, but it's discouraged throughout. The reluctant romance between Haviland and Lee are kept central, but humor dominates the film. Cherot is downright outrages. Chenoa Maxwell is a perfect cold-blooded stiff and Robinne Lee somehow manages to downplay her stunning beauty enough to pull of the little sister role. It's the characters and the dialogue, not a big budget that make this a must own. No clowny, cartoony buffoonery going on. It's just how we are. Colorfully diverse black people.
