Something New Ratings & Reviews
Reel Talk Online
Candice Frederick
... it's one of the few romantic movies that center around an interracial relationship and keeps it real.
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
It's just too bad that this half-realized concept is tethered to an utterly unconvincing, warmed-over interracial romance rooted more in Harlequin fantasy than social realism.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
Something New, in its endearingly daft third act, manages the neat feat of feeling sweetly inevitable rather than boilerplate predictable.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
This is an inept and unsubtle romantic fantasy about how black people and white people don't mix.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
It sometimes seems at odds with itself, vacillating between a realistic presentation of the obstacles black professional women face finding a suitable mate and another bit of Hollywood fluff where their skin color is glossed over.
Seattle Times
Ted Fry
The race card is still in play no matter what the social strata, but the message gets lost in the medium of excessive cuteness and too many contrived disagreements in dialogue.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
How many other movies dare to suggest that some white guys have soul, and some black guys are plain vanilla?
New York Daily News
Jami Bernard
Hamri delivers a thoughtful, entertaining, imperfect but solidly adult movie about the inconvenient path of true love.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Crust
The film's lack of depth as it oversimplifies the complexities of racism keep it from being anything other than a lightweight date movie.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
Something New is actually something totally unexpected: a blissfully swoony romance spiked with frank talk about race and class that nudges the plot forward but never feels forced.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Something New is a message movie and it doesn't hide that fact. But it also goes beyond the message, and that's why it works.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
Even when skewering the pompousness of upper-class black mobility, it's still adorable.
Dallas Morning News
Jean Nash Johnson
If February is prime time for celebrating romance and black culture, then Something New delivers a powerfully seductive two-for-the-show.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Something New is an observant, clever riff on the familiar problems of romance and the career gal.
Boxoffice Magazine
Tim Cogshell
Something New insinuates a banal race-related subtext into its storyline.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
Charming and surprisingly sharp.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
As romances go, the only new thing Something New managed to finally actually do was break a heart ready and willing to embrace it. Mine.
Arizona Republic
Randy Cordova
The screenplay is smart, witty and understated, and director Sanaa Hamri shows a firm hand with her actors and injects the movie with a fresh energy that lives up to the title.
USA Today
Mike Clark
Sanaa Lathan's classiness flows from the poise she projects...Her cool understatement helps put over Something New's premise -- which, if not old, is no longer in its 20s.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
The theme of racial differences, with the black family highly educated and affluent referring to the landscape architect as 'the help' adds a little freshness to a traditional when-will- she-realize- he's-her- true-love storyline.
