... it's one of the few romantic movies that center around an interracial relationship and keeps it real.

Empire Magazine

Something New isn't just silly, it's an embarrassment to people who are genuinely trying to level the racial playing field in America today.

Generally the story swings wildly from preachy to just plain silly. It is truly a story of missed opportunities.

Mixing mirth with more sophisticated moments, this delightful romantic romp ultimately triumphs primarily because of the easy-going screen chemistry generated by Sanaa Lathan and Simon Baker.

I appreciated the female protagonist's development. Not every rom-com manages to portray the blooming that love brings.
