when i was younger i thought this was THEE love story 🥴 yk them growing up together and then falling inlove as adults , i thought it was so cute but now as an adult I realise Monica fell harder and cared more
I admit that I am a romantic, and I ate this up as a young person. Now I see it through different eyes, but I'm not convinced that she fell harder and cared more. I think what you see is immaturity. Think about their ages. Quincy fell hard and cared a lot, BUT he was very immature. When adversity set in with his parents marriage challenges he fell apart and lashed out. He was on some only child, never faced real adversity type stuff. He cared, which is why he lashed out of control. He fell hard and she was his rock, and he measured her love for him by whether she would jeopardize her own college career to be there for him. He was wrong to try and measure her love this way.
Perfectly said!
Y'all!!! "What's Up Black?!" was a term of endearment toward other black men back then!! 🤣😂 It's the same as saying, "What's Up Brutha?!" No colorism involved Heit!! 😂
Exactly!
Even as a kid, i didn't like this movie. I didn't like how he was dogging her out in college mimicing his fathers ways and he expected her not to focus on her goals because she loves him.
I’m blown away by the people saying they never slow danced!! I’m 30 and we for sure slow danced at all middle school dances and even in highschool when we were good for a good twerk session and at house parties and I don’t mean pretty Ricky type grinding (which also happened) but actual slow dancing at house parties (lol) there was ALWAYS slow dancing by the end of the night! I hate people missed out on that and I’m thankful I experienced it!😩 but let me keep watching lol
Where are you from? Maybe your region kept the slow dancing alive for longer! 😁
And what songs were y'all slow dancing to.
@@HeitCheriIm from Coppell like 25-30 min outside of Dallas! ☺️
Oh we know Coppell! We used to live in Dallas! ❤️
@@HeitCheriSo in middle school it depended on the teacher chaperones it could be After 7 or Babyface and if it were yt teachers songs by Madonna like Crazy for you, then highschool dances/house parties were more of the early to mid 90s love songs! So we truly felt like we were in love instead straight up sex music like they have now! We had balance. 😂😂 and I forgot that quick that y’all lived in Dallas.
I can’t believe I use to love this movie. I remember when I last rewatched this movie with my man, my man asked me why did I love this movie so much ? Quincy did not love her and wanted her to give up her basketball career for him. That was my wake up call. That’s when I realized that this movie wasn’t as great of a love story as I thought it was. Monica was also a major pick me as well. She fought for the love of a man who was with Tyra Banks character at that point. If a man wants you to give up what you love to be with him, he is not the right one for you. 🙄
Had to be the soundtrack and good looking people because this AIN’T NO LOVE STORY. 😅😅😅 I blame Maxwell lololol
Leaving a Mystikal braid behind is hilarious. 😂😂😂😂
😂
Fake n Bake.
Heit....you are wrong for dissin' our Gen X music lol. But that keyboard mockery killed me😂😂😂😂
You two have the best banter and natural hilarity. Keep it coming!!
Great breakdown once again👏👏👏
😂😆😂 Thanks so much! We go back and forth all day 😆
Fake n Bake 3, imagine seeing a leftover crochet braid in yo man bed😂😂 New Jack Swing era ate btw🤷🏾♀️
😆 imagine finding a crochet braid, drawls, or anything else. It's gonna be a problem 😂
Lmfao I’m 26 and we used to slow dance at our formals 😂😂😂😂 Chris brown With You and StickWitU
I was just listening to stickwitu the other day 😆
This video has the second funniest Heit moment ( yall are both funny btw).
1st funniest moment for Heit is when Diamond walks out of the Players Club and Heit says,
"Diamond walks out and is immediately assaulted" or something like that.
2nd - "She gets all done up and looks the EXACT same."
I died laughing!
😂 That had me cracking up too! She clearly looks different! 😆
Fake & Bake ! We love a toxic nostalgic trip! Omar Epps is top tier in this one!! I do believe he was a good guy but he definately took advantage of the perks of his lifestyle and this movie shows the duality of both side like Him= getting girls Her= no play at all!!!
😆
This was such a flirty episode for y’all! I love it! Love Just Coming Through the Episode! 😂
🥰🥰🥰
I saw this movie when I was a child. And even then, something felt OFF. I grew up thinking my best guy friends would end up with me lol
Did you ever get with one of the BFFs?
Fake -N- Bake....a few things:
I don't think Quincy hit Shawny (G. Union who always seem to play a snarky character) that night but I also don't think he was a virgin.
I listened to the song by Louis York & Tamia. It was whimsical! I ❤ Tamia's voice
When colleges recruit for athletes, they offer scholarships to attend the school and play for them. She most likely had USC in mind, so she was waiting to find out if she is able to continue her basketball journey.
I think you're the only one who listened to that song besides me, but I love it. 😁
I think Q drove old girl home... i think they are BFFS and he had no reason to lie to Monica
1st 😁.
Another Dope Review about One of My Favorite Childhood Faves.
Love Y'all Two. Pt. 1&2 Were Dope 🔥🔥.
Keep up The Good Work.
Love This Classic.
Miss Them Times 😢
P.S. Funny how Ms. Alfre Woodard Played Sanaa Lathan's Mother 3 Times:
Love and Basketball 🏀
Something New
Tyler Perry's: The Family That Prays Together
Sanaa Lathan always get slapped when she’s paired with Alfre Woodard.
😂😂😂
Thanks so much! We look forward to covering the rest of the film!
Fake and Bake Baby!!!
I was 7 or 8 years old when I 1st saw this movie and I was immediately turned off by the opening scence where quincy hits monica and they fight. Through out the movie I was so CONFUSED because my mind could not get over how she was in love with someone that physically hurt her
Lmfao, y’all are NOT holding back on these titles! Something tells me Cheri is behind them!
😂😂😂😂 Actually it was Heit who came up with this title!
@@HeitCheri Aww, damn!
😆
Today is my birthday love you guys❤❤❤
Happy birthday! We hope you have a wonderful day! ❤️❤️❤️
@@HeitCheri thank you !! ❤️
I have NEVER liked this movie, I always felt like it was pushing this narrative of black women having to sacrifice e their ambition and and aspirations if they want love with a black man. The idea that you have to be a submissive provider, that a woman can only be either career driven or have love, can’t do both and there’s no love after you leave “the one”. Just pissed me all the way off 🙄. Cause how tf did miss girl not find love in Europe 😂. Or while she was working her corporate job? Is Quincy the only man alive I don’t understand.
Hey and thanks for sharing your thoughts! ☺️ I think that the movie showed a number of different relationships... Both sets of parents, plus the main couple. In the end Monica did get the career and the man, so I'm not sure that the narrative being pushed is that the Black woman has to sacrifice to be with a Black man, as compared with any other man. The reality is that there is a certain amount of sacrifice from both parties in any relationship.
Successful marriages require both people to create the terms and stick to them until they're ready to renegotiate. Everyone's marriage terms are not the same, and that's part of finding the right person... Finding someone whose terms work for you. This can be especially difficult when you're young and you haven't even discovered what your terms are.
I think the reason why Monica didn't find a man in Europe was because of the language and cultural barriers. She had a translator just to understand the coach. She was very isolated there. Also, she was not very socially astute and didn't seem to adjust well to the new environment.
Facts ! I wish Monica would’ve moved on from Quincy it’s awful how it seems like black women always have to sacrifice for a black man that’s why I always said Idc about a man’s race character over color in my personal opinion
Not you meet “my minimum standards” lol 😂
😂
I also hate the tropes in these movies when the girlfriend or boyfriend are complete jerks to justify potential infidelity of the main characters
Jim Weatherly it was originally called Midnight plane to Houston
Yes!!!
24:27 It could’ve been a denial letter. They send one saying you were accepted or rejected.
We had middle school dances where we had to stay in uniform and it was in the hot ass gym you were literally not allowed in if you were out of dress code
Angle of Mine by Monica was my first slow dance in jr. high 😊
I love that song! I'm also glad that you've experienced slow dancing! 😊
@@HeitCheri me too, I’m glad they even let us by high school they were not having it lol
I'm today years old and just now finding out that that song was not by Maxwell.
I know!
Once he got it, he owned it. I’d heard it before and I didn’t even recognize it.
Some schools don't even allow slow dances anymore.
That's wild. They could simply enforce the two feet rule.
I’m new to yall channel and can honestly say I was waiting for this ❤😊😊
Welcome and we hope you enjoy!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I disagree. I think he always wanted to be with her. I think it's a type of image he had to up keep so any women in his arms had to look good. But you can tell he loved her from when she lost the game he was just as hurt as she was. Him wanted to know who he was going to prom with. A girl had to ask him to go to prom instead of him asking the girl. Remember, he took her virginity and could of left her but didn't because she was his best friend.
Which part are you disagreeing with? Just so we are on the same page... I think he wanted her the whole time too! 😊
@@HeitCheri that he wanted her because she looks good all of sudden. I think he always wanted her.
@@Cherichrissy I think he always wanted her too, but how she looked that day applied pressure for him to do something about it.
Not pick me and f boy!! Harsh much?😂
😂 Had to get y'all's attention 😆😂😆
Not harsh at all 😂
😆
Nope this is accurate
Chile, y'all just tickle me!!! I am always talking to the TV...

Hey and welcome to the channel! I think you'll love it here! 😁😁😁
I thought I was tripping when I didn't see a part 3, glad you posted
We all fell for the okiedoke and thought this was a love story in our youth. Now we look back and be like oh no baby what is you doing Monica!?!? I enjoy y’all’s review. Fake n bake!
I see so much differently about this film as a middle aged person! 😊
36:50 Fake n bake
Q wasn't virgin... remember the convo with his Mom
Yes I remember that. 😊
question: do you think if monica didn't go to the dance, but everything else between her and quincy played out mostly the same (both going to the same college, quincy's family falling apart, quincy getting engaged, monica going international while quincy gets injured, etc), would they have still ended up together? after the dance, they clearly dated, but monica went back to not wearing makeup, and quincy was big man on campus. if the dance scenario didn't happen, it seems like the rest of the movie wouldn't have happened. thoughts?
Heit and I just quickly discussed this and he agrees with you, but I think the attraction and being in each other's lives would have eventually led to other opportunities that ended with them getting together.
The thing is, she got the letter, and she might've still kissed him first and they still would have gotten together. It wasn't just the dance. It was the attraction from her being dressed up and then both being excited knowing that they'd be in the same place for the next four years. If they were going to different schools, I don't think they would have continued their bond the same way.
@@HeitCheri yeah i can definitely understand that, i could see them looping back to their relationship down the line. but i also keep thinking how much influence quincy's dad had on him (and i mentioned this on your last video how he over romanticized his dad but never actually listened to his words). and when their family fell apart, quincy's world--or what he perceived of it--crumbled...even with monica there. without going too much further into it, since that's going to be in your next video(s), i also wonder if they did get back to their relationship, how long would it have taken? or would that have been the same too (again, had monica not gone to the dance in the first place)?
There are so many what ifs that I have!
@@HeitCheri haha my mind works the same way because now i'm really thinking about if there would be any crack that could have completely changed quincy and monica's bond. can't wait for your next video!
Fake-N-Bake... ×3
Jim Weathery Midnight Plane to Houston
Fake n bake 😂😂😂
A Braid Being left Behind sounds like A Girl Who Likes It Rough 🫣🫣🤡🤣🤣🤣💀🤸🏿♀️🤸🏿♀️
😆
I was too young when this movie came out in 2000. I didn’t see this movie till I was in middle school in 2003. Omar Epps was some fine chocolate 🍫 and his stare was everything in that scene 😩 I had my first slow dance at 14 at a homecoming dance. This movie is not as romantic watching it as a adult 😂 because now we see all the BS
When I watch films that I saw and loved as a child, nothing ever seems as good as I remember. 😆
Fake n bake
Quincy is just like his daddy
Lol. See Heits reaction proves the point .. that guys not approaching Monica aint got nun to do with her hair 😂😂😂..
Men who trip off that, are men who obsess over what other ppl think. They looking for women for the sake of compensating for something 🤡
This part! 😆
