| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
A romantic comedy about finding love where it's least expected,
"Something New" marks the feature directorial debut
of Sanaa Hamri.
If love is an adventure, it's one yet to be embarked upon
by Kenya Denise McQueen (Sanaa Lathan). A beautiful L.A. career
woman, Kenya works as a senior manager at a prestigious accounting
firm, and is on the verge of making partner. But she has yet
to find her own partner and a fulfilling personal life. It's
not that she's stopped looking; her (mental) checklist is
at the ready. After another Valentine's Day spent working
late, Kenya agrees to a blind date with Brian Kelly (Simon
Baker), a sexy and free-spirited landscape architect who turns
out to be not exactly what she'd pictured for herself. Then
again, she does need the yard of her new house fixed up...
Her girlfriends Cheryl, Suzzette, and Nedra (Wendy Raquel
Robinson, Golden Brooks, Taraji P. Henson) are there for her
with advice, while Cheryl's new beau Walter (Mike Epps) shares
a male perspective with Brian. Kenya's socially prominent
parents Joyce and Edmond (Alfred Woodard, Earl Billings) and
womanizing younger brother Nelson (Donald Faison) also voice
their own opinions. But it's when her perfect match, Mark
(Blair Underwood), enters the picture that Kenya is truly
thrown into confusion. Ultimately, Kenya has to decide for
herself and follow her heart – no matter where it takes
her.
