With its strong characters and rich story, scribe/director Gina Prince Bythewood has conceived a competent romantic drama. "L&B" treks two Californians, Quincy and Monica (Omar Epps and Sanaa Lathan, respectively) who share a love for B-ball and each other. The cast are excellent, but the standout has to be Lathan. Along with the acting and direction, Terence Blanchard's score is great. This is two hours of great drama.
