This Spike Lee film offers the audience a window into the life and loves of a young black woman in Brooklyn. Nola Darling is dating three very different men simultaneously: Jamie Overstreet--a controlling, protective, patriarchial type, Greer Childs--a wealthy, vain, arrogant male model, and Mars Blackmon (played by director Spike Lee himself)--a comical, juvenile, immature jokester. Nola has gone beyond even a love "triangle" and the stability of this love "square" is threatened by the increasing jealosy among her three suitors. Finally, under pressure, Nola makes her "choice," but in the end, is this what she really wants?
