Yeah, for me, that plays a big part in me determining if I prefer a movie over another movie. And I found it difficult to buy that Omar Epps would "play a one-on-one basketball game" to determine if he would marry the character played by Tyra Banks or not. (a day or two before his wedding!?!? cmon)

Love Jones, on the other hand, had an ending that I found to be more believable. How many us or people you know have been in a situation where they are trying to deal with a long distance relationship?

I just thought the uncertainty was more believable, especially when you're talking about being in a long distance relationship.
