Paramount at the Movies Presents: Brown Sugar [PG-13]

Wearing a mask while inside the Theater is optional.

Sidney (Sanaa Lathan) and Dre (Taye Diggs) can attribute their friendship and the launch of their careers to one single childhood instant… when they met hip-hop on a New York street corner. Now some time 15 years later, she is a revered music critic and he is a successful, though unfulfilled, music executive. Both come to realize that their true love was found that day on the corner.
