NIA LONG SWOONS as she reels off five finger-licking memories: the aroma of fresh-baked donuts, golden fried chicken with butter pickles, the cheesy Mexican food from a recent vacation, her first fried bologna sandwich, a handful of M&Ms.
Nia's not afraid to let me see who she is, not afraid to reveal the sometimes blurry line between the girl she was and the woman she has become.
So it feels easy and natural when Nia fires up her boyfriend's Porsche Carrera, expertly maneuvering it with one hand, and drives us back to the hood.

 Boiler Room (2000): Giovanni Ribisi, Vin Diesel, Ben Affleck, Nia Long - PopMatters Film Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The film doesn't pretend these guys are too smart: they get their asses whipped in a dissing context with a table full of gay men at an NYC restaurant.
Seth's narration invites you to identify with his desire, to feel with him, that such affluence by surprise is something to be admired and celebrated for its own sake.
Part of what makes it attractive for the boys from New York and Long Island is, of course, that they get to play dirty, to be outlaws without costs (at least at first, until the movie's heavy-handed morality playing kicks in).

When you think about it, Nia Long made her bones in this business after her role in "Boyz N the Hood".
Interesting enough, Nia's never played the role of a mother before and being a real-life mom now, the time was right for her to, not just act, but throw her passion as a mother, in the role.

Even the poignant resolution of the father-son conflict, which helps Seth realize the full impact of his wrongdoing, cannot save the derailed plot.
Another example of a wasted set-up is Seth’s growing romance with the lovely secretary Aby (Nia Long).
Just when the relationship reaches significant emotional involvement of both characters, it is disrupted, and then completely dropped.
