Hav Plenty | Actors/Actresses: - Nia Long Truth is sweeter than fiction! "Hav Plenty" is based on a true story. Lee Plenty (Christopher Cherot) is a sarcastic yet sensitive guy who spends New Year's Eve with his female friend, Havilland Savage. We're not quite sure why they bicker so much or what kind of relationship they have, but when her neurotic friend and her dissatisfied sister are added to the mix, we see Lee and Hav's relationship evolve. What emerges is a sweet, sexy mix of humor and originality that is lacking from average romantic comedies. "Hav Plenty" works on many levels. It is smart without taking itself too seriously and it is full of humor without being over the top. With his tussled hair and almost ratty sweater, Christopher Cherot is absolutely scrumptious... intelligent and witty, yet truly fine and charming. He tells his true story with an honest smile that makes the audience hope like heck that he gets the girl. This movie is something different, something above average, something to see with your man or your girls or both. SIMPLY CHARMING! Kudos to Kenneth BabyFace The main friend of Hav's is Caroline, whose character is best described as a snooty twit. She makes a play for Cherot, but he turns her down. Caroline adds a lot of laughter and somewhat comedic appeal to the movie. The sister, Leigh, is a newlywed and having a small problem with her husband because she has not found her place in life yet. In the midst of her confusion, she wants to kiss Cherot just once so that she will not obsess over him. He refuses her too and he is also the only one who really understands her dilemma. Thanks to Cherot, Leigh will find her place and make amends with her husband before the movie ends. The love scene between her and husband Felix is cute, funny and romantic. The music playing at the time is also very nice and sets the tone for the scene perfectly. Hav is mad with her Fiance played by Hill Harper. He is a famous singer/pretty boy. He has been cheating on her. It is hard to really tell if the attraction between Cherot and Maxwell is mutual, which makes the movie even more unique and holds the viewer's attention. Hav is uppity and prefers to rub shoulders with the elite, famous and whose who. Lee Plenty (Cherot) is down to earth, not easily impressed and seemingly content and not ashamed of his current station in life. She seems to want him to be more on her level in order to be deemed worthy in her eyes. He wants someone who would rather decorate a xmas tree than go to a party type woman. All facts being as they are, he can't seem to leave after New Years. Each time he attempts to leave, Hav comes up with a reason for him to stay longer. Her grandmother meets him on New Year's Day and tells Hav that he will be her husband one day, but she dismisses her grandmother's wit and wisdom. Cameo appearances at the end of the movie are made by Shemar Moore, Nia Long, Chili (TLC), Lauryn Hill and Mekhi Phifer. Other stars are Tammi Katherine Jones and Reginald Jones. This movie is a must see! It is unique being a movie within a movie or story within a story. It is a love story that stands apart from others such as Jason's Lyric and Love Jones...but the quality is equal. BabyFace and his wife Trac An awesome movie for everyone! I absolutely love this movie, I rank it at the top of my favorites list. I'm white, so I don't know how "authentic" or whatever a portrayal of African-Americans it is. It must be fairly authentic, it was written by an African-American man, and no one holds the market on yuppies or starving artists! ;-) My question is, why isn't this guy in more films? He is HOT and funny, and obviously extremely talented. I'd line up to see anything this guy was in. If you want a smart, sexy romantic comedy, this is the movie for you.
