![]() Whatever possible emotional connect gained gets weighted down considerable from cringe worthy dialogue and shear lifeless shots at humor. This is before the serviceable script quickly turns shoddy. Though known for playing roles normally involving a self-confident man with a chiseled physique, it’s quite refreshing to see Henson play a romantically vulnerable Robert. Of course, Morgan has a bit of relationship baggage through immensely wealthy ex-husband Hill (given life through Why Did I Get Married’s Lamman Rucker). Making his way to a local attorney’s office, he’s introduced to ambitious lawyer and eventual romantic interest Morgan (Gabrielle Dennis). This leads Robert to earn some cash by selling coffee for cousin Julian (Christian Keyes). Not only does he get fired from the painting company his father started, but his significant other Mita (Erica Hubbard) finds “love” in the guy responsible for terminating him. Stomp The Yard star Darrin Henson portrays narrative center Robert, a man who is having one hell of day. It’s quite a shame, Black Coffee tries to differentiate itself from the vast majority of “urban” indie films that normally find its way to the bargain DVD section. ![]() ![]() Even the film’s marketed audience may be turned off by its wooden acting, atrocious editing, uninspired plot and anti-climatic ending. The rest are better off avoiding it at all cost. Black Coffee may fill the needs of those craving a fairly innocent romantic comedy with a majority African American cast.
