Hav Plenty

(Miramax)

This boorish hip-hop romance, said to be based on the writer/director/actor's own love life, has Christopher Scott Cherot as Lee Plenty, a homeless and dateless writer struggling to get a career foothold in New York City and finding shelter by housesitting the apartment of Havilland "Hav" Savage (Chenoa Maxwell), his unrequited love from college. You know from the title that Hav and Lee will end up together, but what happens in the middle isn't hip or hop enough to redeem this self-enamored flop.
