There are eight key characters in this romantic comedy/soap opera, and Lee’s juicy cast wastes no time bringing them all to crowd-pleasing life. Diggs is a novelist torn between his girlfriend (Sanaa Lathan) and an ambitious TV producer (Nia Long) who wants to reignite their unconsummated college passion. Harold Perrineau plays a peacekeeping lawyer saddled with the bossy girlfriend from hell (Melissa De Sousa). Best of all is sly Terrence Howard as the womanizing rake Quentin. He steals just about every scene he’s in, which in this charismatic company is no mean feat.
