La linea sottile tra odio e amore

A Thin Line Between Love and Hate (1996) is a movie I recently rewatched for the first time in a long time on Tubi. The storyline for this picture involves a club promoter in the neighborhood he grew up in who is a womanizer with his best friend. He has specific rules for his womanizing ways. One crazy summer his childhood crush returns home and he meets the woman of his dreams who is independent, rich, smart and successful. He will need to make some tough decisions on both ladies and will likely break every rule along the way.

This movie is directed by and stars Martin Lawrence in his directorial debut and also stars Lynn Whitfield (Eve's Bayou), Regina King (Poetic Justice), Malinda Williams (Soul Food), Della Reese (Harlem Nights) and Bobby Brown (Ghostbusters II).

This was perfectly written, directed and executed by Martin Lawrence. His mannerisms, facial expressions and body language made this work as much as the comedic content. The dialogue is very good with some subtle content to go with Martin's standard shenanigans. Bobby Brown being in this is hilarious and Reese was the perfect mother characters. King and Whitfield also deliver strong performances. The soundtrack and settings were great and the ending was perfect.

Overall this isn't a perfect movie but it is a very entertaining and a worthwhile watch. I would score this a solid 7/10 and strongly recommend it.
