Today on Adjacent we, once again, delve back into the 90's for a much smaller release - centring on an all black cast, which.. for its time.. tells a bit more of a slice of life type story.

 

Rather than what black cinema was highlighting at the time... its sort of refershing to see this one rose to some minor acclain - and of course.. a Woody Allen resemblance can be seen.. which is why we are talking about this indie flick

 

t is kind of a daring wish for us to see this writer / director do another movie based on his life... he is talented.. so heres hoping! :P

 

In Hav Plenty (1997) Lee Plenty (played by Christopher Scott Cherot himself), a struggling and homeless writer, finds himself apartment-sitting for his wealthy friend Havilland Savage (Hav) while she's away visiting family. Lee jumps at the chance to see Hav, whom he's secretly loved for years. However, his dreams of romance get complicated upon his arrival. A series of unexpected encounters with various women unfolds, including Hav's recording-artist boyfriend, her best friend, and even her married sister. Lee's quest for love and career success takes him on a hilarious and awkward journey through the world of New York City's social circles.
