Where to Watch Love Jones
- witty youngmanSeptember 28, 2025This one was tough because I loved the combination of poetry and love, but I did not like how much they could tell they wanted to be together but fought just being together. Compromise was always going to be their biggest obstacle and this movie was so charming, I just wanted them to get over themselves and just be together. I’m glad they did and I hope they ended up happy
