Spike's second masterpiece. The whole movie moves like jazz music.

There's a really awesome song in this movie, called mo better blues. They play it after the halfway point. Other than that though, this movie is extremely boring. Worst I've ever seen from Spike Lee.

I generally prefer very natural-sounding dialogue, but I can deal with stylized dialogue when it's done right. In this movie, most of it just sounded like Lee trying to be clever, rhythmic, or profound. I didn't think it worked as either a tribute to jazz or a compelling character profile or a contemporary romance. It has its moments, though, and credit must be given to Dickerson's photography. Cynda Williams is definitely the weak link in otherwise decent cast.
