A good funny Afro-American romantic comedy

This is not Magic Mike… that part of the storyline is the pretext for this romantic Afro-American comedy. The rhythm is good. No downtime. It made me laugh out loud lots of times as much from the bad suggestive dance moves than from the flow of Afro-American slang especially by women to describe sex, the male member or to insult one another. Being a white single 60’s French Canadian man… it seems to me that it was too much not to be stereotyping. But then again maybe not… As it was funny. And like it a good romantic comedy true love does blossom at the end… in a frenetic last scene. One scene toward the end seems to have needed more writing…
