"Something New" **1/2 (out of four): A charmingly slight mixed-race romantic comedy, featuring charismatic performances by Sanaa Lathan and Simon Baker but script as thin as the paper it's printed on.

I have no problem with the tried and true romantic comedy formula - boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back - but in a film which proposes to explore the complexities of an interracial relationship, do the characters have to be so black and white?
