This was one of my favorite movies back in 2000. Billy was way better for Camille because he truly loved her for who she was and didn't try to control her life and of course he was drop dead gorgeous. 😂😂😂 Calvin was handsome too but his attitude made him unattractive. As you can see at the engagement party they were already arguing. Obviously he was acting very controlling. Good thing she ended that quick. Love Billy and Camille. 💚💚💚💚
One of my favorite movies! I love the story, the film producer/director, the cast and their performance. Christian Kane and Monica in what I believe is her first leading role have great chemistry. And I love the esthetic of the film. The closeups, the angles, and the colorful lighting, the little touches give a richness that I love. And I love the writing. The main arcs, as well as the B stories are authentic. And Tyrese in an early onscreen role. Best of all I love the duet they sing. That is a sweet love song. So glad to find it here.
Good evening Monica just wanted to tell you you do make good music great actress and I just wanted to tell you that so I hope everything's going your way and good things are coming to you have a lot of blessings I'm praying for you and your family hope everything is going well love always your best friend and
Hey Christian when are you and Monica going to another song or duet I love those movie theme music maybe when you run into Monica you can tell her I like her acting and singing I know she is a lot on our plate right I'm one of your guyses biggest tell Monica love all the AOL sessions I would love to see her in concert in Memphis Tennessee if she comes
Finally a nice romantic movie without the unnecessary sex scenes. I've seen a few movies like this and can watch them over and over and get the point without all the sex.
Since I haven't seen this movie in over 20 years, I did not realize until now that I had this very same scary but burden-lifting moment. I grew up with a very controlling father whom I feared until I was 29 years old. The scariest thing in the world was having to tell my mother I was pregnant at 29 - which is completely insane. But when you grow up with burdensome expectations to live to the standard of parents in a very unbalanced manner (and not being allowed to live with, as Camille said previously, "self-determination"), it was the first scariest moment of my life. The second scariest was the moment I told my father everything I ever wanted to tell him in just one email. I thought it would be the worst experience of my life with a disastrous fallout, but it felt like a bag of bricks was lifted off of my shoulders for the first time in my life. Emotional abuse is like that. Not easily defined, and not easily identified, until you finally break that chain. It's the most courageous moment a victim can ever muster.
I have always thought this actor looked a lot like him and could play him well in a some kind of tv movie about him, but he's so much older now it wouldn't work.
Correction: This movie was not 20 years ago. It was year 2000 when it was released on MTV channel. I was a teenager age 15 going on 16 and I had recorded this on VHS. :)
pocu321 thank you for sharing and motivating me to have “burden lifting moments” because I have a few I need to let go of. I am just watching this movie and truly appreciate your comment! God Bless You!
Calvin had the nerve to ignore her while she so beautifully serenaded him, then went even further to tell her she was making a fool of herself! Loved how she told him to kick rocks! So who's the fool now Calvin????😂😂😂😂😭😭
Good evening Monica just wanted to tell you you are one hot woman you and Christian k make a cute couple I hope you guys are okay say lot of prayers for you guys I love the music love the videos and I love the AOL sessions so just keep doing what you doing and I'm happy with what you are doing you you you amaze me you are one terrific singer actress and the mom so just wanted to tell you that hope to see you soon love see you in concert and I'll pay to go to the concert
Billy had every right to upset cuz she told him that she wanted to be with him and then ended up engaged Calvin..Calvin was a complete douchebag always too serious and not fun loving guy.He wasn't interested in anything she did but she supported him and everything that he's done just to impress her father what's also messed up that he wasn't interested in the song that she sang for him, wasn't even paying attention why would wanna marry someone like that? At least Billy was honest about how she's trying to please everyone but herself and tried to live her life the way she wants it
You're right. It's the same story as The Notebook. Noah told Allie the same thing about her making other people happy. She was Rich and needed to marry someone of the same class to please her parents, but she loved the poorer more soulful guy.
QayQay Pearson I agree because who one falls in love with should never be to please others it should be because that person makes you happy. Like the saying in the movie Something New with Sanaa Lathan and Simon Baker "Love is an adventure. It's not a decision you make for others. It's a decision you make from your own heart."
+QayQay Pearson That is true. I believe she did that just to see how he was going to respond and unfortunately he didn't pay her any attention including the father. SMH.
I agree with what your saying. I couldn't stand Renee with her judgemental ass who didn't have a boyfriend at all and was always trying to put her opinion in the mix with no man
So much criticism and not enough appreciation about Monica Arnold's acting skills, when there's other elements to consider.. what's written, the chemistry between the two paired together, how every scene is directed in the way the director wants it done and how the actor's make the script their own throughout the entire movie so if you're going to CRITICISE an actor/actress for a particular roll they are portraying, just do it with these things in mind, remembering what the director wants and what your script says you should be doing in the scene because it's not as easy as you think it is..and by the way she was showing her rebellion against the STATUS QUO and it's traditional themes by dressing in far less formal attire. She wanted to show how she felt about her engagement to a guy her parents only approved of and who didn't want her dating outside of their family traditions..just my very different viewpoint that's all..
+zanele mgenge IKR! Some didn't think her acting was good. This is my first time seeing her in a movie. I don't normally listen to her music, aware that she is in the industry. Very beautiful young lady. I think she did alright. I think they had some good actors in the movie. It was good in my opinion wasn't sexually overrated. Nice sweet romantic movie.
@Shayna Rideout yeah, her acting is dry and stiff, i just didn't want to be the first one to say anything about it. if she takes some classes and has more practice, she may do better.
Monica is a phenomenal singer but her acting is subpar. I wish they would have picked a more trained black actress to play opposite Christian. The scenes between the two characters would have been sooo much hotter if Monica’s acting wasn’t so cringe.
the character billy shouldn't have been upset because he was trying to slide in because he was attracted to her and he was fun for her but it was clear her boyfriend didn't seem to like her too much but I wanted Monica character and billy Ryan to have more chemistry. I believe this was on MTV at the time. Can two people just be about and into each other only even if it's interracial couple?! (there is more to a white man being attracted to a black woman, anyone know why?! 🤔 there is a long drawn out history behind it. )
I love the way everyone is talking about her clothing, sequels and how to find this movie, but no one is talking about her horrible acting just saying.
That's because if you look closely, while it is certainly a dressy occasion, it definitely is not "black tie". Funny, the band is in black tie, even though Camille's parents and guests are not.😂
This man is so fine. I love his eyes, hair, and that tan skin. Pure perfection!
#Amazon needs to put this movie on prime I so want this movie. Fell in love with it the day I saw it ❤
I looooooovvvvve Monica's rendition of My Angel. It's so peaceful and relaxing.
Ikr?! I even looked to see if she covered this song on CD as I wanted to rush out and buy it, but no such luck.😒
Yes i love it
When Monica sings Angel! shit she sounds amazing .. killed that rendition!
Monica and Christain Kane need to reunite now 2020. Wow!! This man went after what he wanted, brave , smart and a real man!.
This movie was touching. It means to not be afraid to love someone else and to follow your own dreams
Vampyro181 exactly your totally right
This was one of my favorite movies back in 2000.

As you can see at the engagement party they were already arguing. Obviously he was acting very controlling. Good thing she ended that quick. Love Billy and Camille. 💚💚💚💚
I agree with you. Billy's nose was wide open. He allowed her to be her own person. It appeared that calvin nose was up in the air

mercurystarr Yup Mona and Dee
Lord i can get lost in Billy's eyes 🤩😊
I want to be hugged and kissed by Christian Kane 😍
Yeah,me too 👍😊he is simply gorgeous❤️🥰
Rachel True aka Mona from Half & Half is my girl, but Essence has the best laugh -- so contagious!😂😂😂
Good evening Monica just wanted to tell you you do make good music great actress and I just wanted to tell you that so I hope everything's going your way and good things are coming to you have a lot of blessings I'm praying for you and your family hope everything is going well love always your best friend and
When you are a romantic at heart, this is a cute and darling movie. Her "Angel" Is Billy Ryan And She Is Billy Ryan, "Angel!"
She stopped trying to please everyone 😊
Hey Christian when are you and Monica going to another song or duet I love those movie theme music maybe when you run into Monica you can tell her I like her acting and singing I know she is a lot on our plate right I'm one of your guyses biggest tell Monica love all the AOL sessions I would love to see her in concert in Memphis Tennessee if she comes
I love monica in this. They should do a seqUel
Thank you so much for posting these. I have been looking for this movie for years!
I love this movie I will be glad when it arrives n the mail
BTW! Christian Kane is handsome!
iamaksd he is fine
Drop dead gorgeous, for sure!
Christian Kane is awesome!
You can say that again!!
Finally a nice romantic movie without the unnecessary sex scenes. I've seen a few movies like this and can watch them over and over and get the point without all the sex.
iamaksd LOL right
iamaksd what movie is this
Kosi Orji The movie is called Love Song you can find it on Amazon
Exactly
I just wish they had had more kissing scenes. They had some serious chemistry going on between them.

I love that song was dedicated to her lover Billy Ryan he's her Angel not Calvin
Calvin had the nerve to ignore her while she so beautifully serenaded him, then went even further to tell her she was making a fool of herself! Loved how she told him to kick rocks! So who's the fool now Calvin????😂😂😂😂😭😭

Cam got Billy's nose wide open.
I like men who aren't pretencious.
Her daddy looks like Barack.
melanated woman He does 😂
her daddy is lighter than barack.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww so cute!
I love the way he inspected her ring finger.....

Love this film. I have been trying for years to get the DVD of this. Sadly theirs still none. Can’t stand that Calvin! 💯 douche!
jackmar64jl You can find the DVD on Amazon but you’d have to wait for them to restock
wish they were a real couple
+zanele mgenge IKR! Some didn't think her acting was good. This is my first time seeing her in a movie. I don't normally listen to her music, aware that she is in the industry.

Still trying to find it on DVD
Rosie Lundquist You can find the DVD on Amazon but you’d have to wait for them to restock or notify you when the movie becomes available again
What song does the scene play at 00:00 till the engagement party?
Yes! I love that song, who is the singer?
How disrespectful of the dad and Calvin talking through the whole song. Glad she got rid
Me too. If you find it, post where I can buy it.
I like the the end
Me too
What is the song at the beginning?
I'm dying to know.Please somebody tell me. 🤣😊
Plus this song is hard to find
Omg does anybody know who sings that sobg
The song is Sad Day by Warren Williams
Thank you 😁
Do anybody kno how to find dis song dat play wen dis start???
mekabrooks89 Try you tube
Yeah yeah yeah.
What I DoD not get in this movie is why her dad never told Camille until her mom told that her dad's parents did not want him to marry his mother.
@Shayna Rideout
yeah, her acting is dry and stiff, i just didn't want to be the first one to say anything about it. if she takes some classes and has more practice, she may do better.
😍😍😍
Where is part 3 it went from 2 to 4
jayson duhe Part 3 is on here it’s easy to find type in the name of the movie and put in Part 3 and it will show up
I'm not with the pink and blonde hair on Essence. She look a mess.
Who sings this song?
Thank you m'Ladee
Monica is a phenomenal singer but her acting is subpar. I wish they would have picked a more trained black actress to play opposite Christian. The scenes between the two characters would have been sooo much hotter if Monica’s acting wasn’t so cringe.
Agreed. It was distracting trying to not focus on her bad acting.
the character billy shouldn't have been upset because he was trying to slide in because he was attracted to her and he was fun for her but it was clear her boyfriend didn't seem to like her too much but I wanted Monica character and billy Ryan to have more chemistry. I believe this was on MTV at the time. Can two people just be about and into each other only even if it's interracial couple?! (there is more to a white man being attracted to a black woman, anyone know why?! 🤔 there is a long drawn out history behind it. )
Her dad looks of Infian, Native American descent
Song I meant
Remember Billie told her she had high cheekbones
I love the way everyone is talking about her clothing, sequels and how to find this movie, but no one is talking about her horrible acting just saying.
Shayna Rideout I was just gonna comment in that. Not good acting at all...The whole scene was lame..
First of all who the heck wears a long skirt and shirt that doesn't cover your belly to a black tie event, that's ridiculous!
Lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's because if you look closely, while it is certainly a dressy occasion, it definitely is not "black tie". Funny, the band is in black tie, even though Camille's parents and guests are not.😂
that blk guy looks like Barack.
They didn't make a good couple. I support and love WB's. But if they don't make a nice couple, I'm sorry I lose interest.
billie ryan appears to be a little bi-polar. I would not want to be with him. If he talked to me like he did Camille, he would have got cussed out.
I dont understand why you think billy ryan was mean. He adored her. And brought her out of shell
unpleasant ending.
