Lola (Julie Maudech) is a beautiful and exotic young Parisian woman. When she discovers she is pregnant, Lola determines that the father is either Jamal (Hubert Koundé), a wealthy Muslim from Africa, or Felix (Mathieu Kassovitz), a slightly awkward Jewish messenger. Soon the two very different men are competing to win the love of Lola. Eventually, Jamal and Felix realize that they must put their rivalry on the back burner in order to help Lola through the challenges of her pregnancy.

Watching the film, I felt sympathy with Kassovitz's desire to film a little comic sermon about brotherhood. But I was never convinced that the characters and situation were anything other than borrowed and contrived.

A hip interracial comedy with jaunty rap-inflected scores...grounded in the reality of multiethnic city life, this is the 100-percent answer to She's Gotta Have It...

A disappointment. Early work by the talented Mr.Kassovitz is a chatty bored. Fun to see his college, Vincent Cassel, also quite young. But interesting concept hurt by fuzzy characterizations and going nowhere script.

Yes, it has subtitles. And a love story. But it is "oh so fabulous" to watch :-)

J'adore Mathieu Cassovitz, et j'Ã©tais heureux de voir Vincent Cassel dans ce film aussi. L'acteur qui a jouÃ© la role de Jamal Ã©tait bon, et l'actrice qui a jouÃ© le role de Lola Ã©tait bonne. Ce film est trÃ¨s bon et il adresse l'issue de racisme et des diffÃ©rences culturelles dan une maniÃ¨re trÃ¨s intÃ©ressante. J'aime le dialogue de Le Pen au-dessus les gÃ©nÃ©riques: un bon effet. I hope my French was correct. It's been awhile, and I didn't speak it well in the first place.

Explores issues of modern romance and racism with grace and heart.
