He meets Natalie, a beautiful club-hopping hipster, and quickly falls in love.

It's kind of like _'MO MONEY'_. But without the jokes. And the crime backdrop. So what we're left with without these elements is a rather empty shell of a film. Usually a big big fan of African American comedies of the 90's but yeah this was no winner. Bitching soundtrack though. ...
