I think her as a kid being happy about her scar was just her confirmation in her mind the she was strong enough to hang with the boys. I know for me as a tomboy I was always trying to do that. Validation like you said.

[@ebonydixoncollins1169]

I agree 100% she wasa tomboy. The scar to her showed she held her own.

[@sdc8598]

Yes, that was me as a kid hanging with my cousin and his friends cause they were the only kids my age and my teenage girl cousins kicked me out of their rooms🤣

[@unfiltered_unapologetic_32]

I don't think she was smiling cause she liked him or he liked her I think she smiled cause she realized the scar came from her being better than him

[@vibrantnubian27]

Agreed! Like yeah got his ass!

[@MrsSSHBurnell]

I love these now that we're grown. I actually didn't like this movie cause it felt toxic the first time I saw it. I disliked Quincy from the jump and I am still trying to figure out why Monica was wrong for not breaking curfew. That made me so mad. I agree 100% with your assessment. I also saw Monica as rebelling against her mom because she wasn't what Monica wanted her to be and treated her as such. I loved how Alfre expressed her regret but also her joy in her choices and gave Monica the push to use her fearlessness to go after what she wants even if it's toxic.

[@rudiiboiispook]

You know you be preaching Bondy! Finding out your father isn't the man you thought he was is truly devastating 🫤

[@KeishaCharmaine]

This was my favorite movie growing up. But as I watched it back as an adult it just upset me how Monica was so pressed over this dude who I felt like was paying her dust. But I appreciate this review bc you helped me sympathize with Q more. I have a much better understanding of why he was the way he was with her. Now I can comfortably enjoy the movie again 😂💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

[@sabrina.natalie]

The love and basketball has one of my favorite soundtracks, hands down.

[@simp1eone]

Me too ,

[@shetarawatkins4408]

These now that we're grown videos are my absolute favorite!! Love this!!

[@kierrac4030]

Same!

[@indi5]

That’s how you know they loved each other, the went through “life” together, it’s always touching when he sneaks out..

[@BabyGirlTiny]

That’s not a precedent for love

[@sabrina.natalie]

I wonder how Lena (Monica’s sister) reacted when she told her that Q pushed her down. Lena’s the older sister, if I remember correctly, right? Because if I found out that some neighborhood boy pushed my little sister so hard, that she ended up cutting her face, we are about to have a huge problem! 👊🏽🥊

[@sdc8598]

I took that smirk while the mom was cleaning it as a “warrior” type of scar--her being good at basketball and playing street ball or even just being able to play with the boys so to speak. I definitely know boys and Tom boys (myself included) who was proud of a scar I got as a kid hopping a fence with my boy cousin and friends.

[@indi5]

My mom is basically jealous of me, def now that I’m older!! But even as a young girl, she would remind me of how i took her beauty!!! 😂

[@RerePK78]

thank you for the chills i get when you sing to us ❤ brightest, smartest human on youtube. i would say its you , if i was nominating 😊

[@shanejason1016]

20:24 you are hilarious 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😂😂😂😂😂😂😄😄😄😄😄😄. yes definitely facts. mother didnt see how monica really feels. i felt when monica says "It Mattered". i felt that.

[@Danadane4]

Love is messy and imperfect is what I got from the movie as a kid... They both played a role in the demise of their college relationship.

[@indi5]

I def have abandonment issues & had both parents in the household!!! 😢

[@bornA_diva]

I had both parents to but they wasn't present

[@modeltunleashed]

Same with me, they were financially present and not emotionally present which effected my sisters and I self esteem. Now Im 42, my mom has finally realized that bc none of us don't open up to her about our lives outside of the home

[@Blaxdon]

She did this, Akeela & the bees, and the woman king💥💥💥. Gina is undeniable...oh I also love the "Now that we're grown " series

[@url0veang3l]

Don't forget Beyond The Lights.

[@TheRetroWoman80]

The Secret Life Of Bees as well.

[@Daug555]

This was EVERYTHING Bondy! The soundtrack was EVERYTHING! This generation will never know!

[@pimpcesscorpio]

Can we admit that their relationship wasn’t toxic untilllll he found out who his father really was which resulted in the break up? I’m tired of people acting like they were so toxic 😭

[@armanisage5651]

Him pushing her because he was losing a game not toxic ok😂. Him say he be his cheerleader isn’t toxic . Him pushing her because she wouldn’t ride his bike not toxic 😂😂🤣🤣🤣😬😑

[@pimpcesscorpio]

@@armanisage5651 meaning once they got back together in high school not when they were children and dated for 5 minutes. Those were learned behaviors.

[@214InnocentGirl20]

He was toxic

[@unfiltered_unapologetic_32]

@@pimpcesscorpio him flaunting a bihh in her face because she wouldn't miss curfew and risk not starting was toxic, him breaking up with her after he had one bad day and then tryna make her seem crazy like she ain't just see him with a bihh was toxic him seemingly only be interested in her when they were teenagers when he saw her with another man is toxic

[@pimpcesscorpio]

@@unfiltered_unapologetic_32 and did he not break up with her right after that? Monica wanted to keep dating. Would it have been more toxic to stay and end up physically cheating getting drunk asf during his career or realize at his 19 year old age this isn’t working and I’m leaving forget it? They say if it’s real you always come back together. And Lol that’s my point in HS and in college b4 he found out who his father was they were good. I don’t think him seeing her with another man and getting jealous was toxic he didn’t even play it tough. Not only did he lowkey like her, she was a tomboy who hed never seen with a boy since they dated for those 2 minutes when they were 10. If Monica seen Quincy with another girl got jealous alot calling them floozies and such even though she was used to seeing him with women. Even in the future as full adults they were not toxic. I guess it’s just to me. You could look at them both even in adulthood and tell they still loved each other what do you mean he only liked her when they were teens? Regardless if he got mad at her for not wanting to ride his bike @ 10 or getting mad because he felt she wasn’t there @ 20… he broke up with her after rather than staying in it.

[@resecup3584]

Music is timeless and as you Bondy sang I'll keep holding on - I began to cry because I thought of all my love ones and where I was 😥. I loved this move too!! Great review

[@ritaeiu1]

This was soooooo good! It felt like I was having "girlfriend" chat! Great job Bondy!

[@saljo4424]

This Woman’s work yes it is hard

[@tamekaball2880]

Yes. You've done it once again girl. I love your commentary as well as your singing. You bring out what's clear. Continue your Great work.

[@keishawhit8112]

My cousin Melodee Sutton was the music exec for this movie and she absolutely did that with the music!!! We LOVE music in our family...

[@glamgal83]

Bondy I LIVE for your Now That We’re Grown series! Please keep this up ❤

[@JaDedby88]

I agree, if anything was toxic it was the damn home environments they lived in. Monica & q did have a tight bond but q's perception of her love & loyalty for him was warped. Classic movie & soundtrack. And also, yes, wtf did he feel he needed to put his hands on her more than once when his "manhood" was being tested?! Future monica better watch out 👀😂

[@Yumyumhoneybun]

Well done

[@indi5]

They had a good “soundtrack”!!!

[@simp1eone]

That Meshelle Ndegeocello song at the end of the movie as they were playing one on one did it for me. Gosh I love the whole album

[@christolmabon483]

Another fav!!!!

[@tgirl1021]

My one gripe with Q is that he calls Monica selfish!! He frames their breakup as her not being able to be there when he was the one who became emotionally distant & selfish!! She checked in, she called! I felt bad for him but he truly took it out on Monica!! And he never really apologizes for it, imo. Quincy should've been the one knocking on her window in the middle of the night! They could've done a much better job at making Quincy accountable for the pain he caused Monica in college during that final scene.

[@minkagaston]

Love and Basketball had me in a chokehold for so long...can't count how many times I've seen it😭. Yes, please do "Beyond the Lights" that's definitely another chokhold movie for me

[@laurenpenn3634]

BONDY SINGING MAXWELL and GUY IS EVERYTHING I NEEDED❤️🖤💚

[@art2asia]

Please do eves bayou

[@CYRINTHIA212]

this is one of my favorite movies

[@alexisjackson9519]

Not me singing along the entire time 😂😂😂 I love it here❤️

[@tgirl1021]

He definitely should've lost. But I love their final game because Quincy finally faces her as an equal on the court! Every other time they played, he never gave her the full respect she deserved as a worthy adversary either because she was a girl or his gf & bc of his own pride. He finally let all that go in that final game & won because of that.

[@queenscarlettpimpsunkiss..5537]

Higher Learning would be cool to do too. 🍀

[@tashathomas5334]

I'm sorry I don't care what nobody says this was not a love story. He dogged her the whole movie. I don't like this movie and I don't see why people thinks this is a love story.

[@xoxo_kiyla]

I've always felt like the soundtrack is what makes this movie so great. The story is good but the music is masterfully curated with classic songs played at the perfect moments.

[@url0veang3l]

Something I noticed about how close they were was the matching best friend necklaces with their jersey numbers.

[@TearaScorpio]

Bondy you be killing it with the singing I love your voice❤

[@dishawnstarks5163]

Brown Sugar would be good

[@saljo4424]

Yes it’s a mix baby beautiful but I always wonder if anyone else noticed

[@indi5]

Sing, Bondy!!!!!!

[@raychellemartin6296]

This was the best review ever. I laughed, I cried, and I sang along with you. This is wildly entertaining! Keep going!!!

[@indi5]

Girl, if a little boy pushed me on the ground like that, I’m going crazy!!! It happened as a grown woman & I said never!!!!!! ❤

[@simp1eone]

Bondy Pleasseeeee review Disappearing Acts starring Sanaa Lathan and Wesley Snipes based on Terry McMillan novel. So much to unravel and discuss about that movie especially on topic pf dating down. Bondy no one but you pioneered this series and I absolutely love. If yall see any youtuber doing this kinda series, please remember BONDY DID IT FIRST AND WE LOVE HER SO MUCH

[@n.l.hudson8098]

Yasssss

[@allaboutc6531]

I love your interpretation, review, your light andddd OMG your voice. Got me singing with you

[@hellabreetho9067]

Q had to win because he been holding that L from childhood close... He had to beat her... It was ego... But that double or nothing 🥰... Real good recap...

[@Sunshine_brighteyes]

So happy you did this movie this was my favorite love story movie when I was in high school ….thanks bondy!!!💙💙💙💙

[@Hi_Tamera]

This series brings me joy💙

[@zontroiralexander7177]

I didnt even think about the fact that it was game playing going on. Love NTWG as always : ))

[@MissMichon]

Bondy you’re glowing 😍👀 you look tf goodt! 💙💙

[@sabrina.natalie]

Wow. I just realized the Gina Prince-Bythewood also directed The Woman King. She’s such a fabulous director who has directed amazing films.

[@sabrina.natalie]

I really wish they would put Holding Back the Years by Angie Stone on Spotify or Apple Music. I can only find it on KZbin.

[@ashleyrobinson7313]

You preaching about how men put all their unhappiness on women yesss please go to therapy

1:11:22 you better hit that run (where’s my shoe 👟)👏🏽

[@indi5]

Girl, daddys be a fool!!! 🙄

[@angelh6345]

I love the way you tell a story Bondy I'd love to see you cover eves bayou color purple trippin'

[@kfrancis1872]

I come from that era..."Just got paid" was out when I started going to clubs at 19. So I completely understand that hard bravado shell Q was trying to maintain was an influence from his Dad, but also just how men were "supposed" to be. And having something soft and pretty on his arm was like having the right car. He always love Monica but didn't want to be clowned for being with the tomboy/ball player. Notice going off to college changed that -- not necessarily the sex. For Q to eventually become the sideline cheerleader and let his woman have the shine was him truly being his own man DESPITE the era. Mr. Mom was a new concept and not really popular yet. This classic will always stand the test of time.

[@ebonydixoncollins1169]

The whole pushing dynamic when they were young, I attributed to him still looking at her like a boy. Boys rough house with each other. And she was his 5 min girlfriend but still looked at her like one of the boys .

[@allthings-kutie]

I love your now that we are grown videos...now I want to go back and watch Love and basketball to see if I notice these things

[@shereenes1]

My all-time favorite movie! Excited to hear you break this one down…❤❤❤

Absolutely

[@QueenNaestar]

One of my favorite movies 💜

[@brandirichardson1491]

I always hated this movie. Not a Sanaa fan but I'll watch for you Bondy!

[@kayotheepotato]

Quincy had NO redeeming qualities at all, I still wonder what was Monica’s attraction all about lol

[@shanejason1016]

59:12 wow

[@amberbaker3911]

Bondy blue love the commentary would you do a video on Baby Boy.❤

[@DrShaySmith]

She filmed it already

[@taccora]

Did you do or will you do Higher Learning? The whole Omar and Tyra dynamic brought that back into my mind.

[@Simona8000]

I clicked on this video so fast, this is what we’ve been waiting for.

[@sdoggmariah]

Great review! Made me like Q a lot more because I always hated this movie. I hated how he treated her.

[@shakuramalik8921]

One of my favorite movies. Great review.

[@RealNaturalHairGuru]

Monica’s mom = My mom Nigga, my mom hates this movie cuz Monica is me and my mom is Alfre Woodard.

[@msmaka]

What a fantastic review. I appreciate your thoughts on the themes presented in this movie.

[@ashaali4504]

You did a great job breaking this movie down.

[@saljo4424]

I like is a classic

[@OneLoveRSR]

Quincy's perception of women came from his mama. I say that as the only child and son of a married set of parents in the 80s whose father never lacked attention from women. My dad wasn't an infidel, but he also didn't shy away from the flirtation of other women -- women that my mother would refer to as "Alpo eaters" among other terms. So I think Quincy's views of women were negative because he, obviously, was a Mama's Boy and didn't like other women disrespecting his mother. If Quincy got his negative views of women from his father, then his rejection of his father for five years would make no sense.

[@NickeyJ87]

If you think about it tho..zeke didn’t lie…only cause the way he worded. He said, “there’s a paternity suit and I’m spose to be the baby daddy”. Technically the question was is it true you the pops. Turns out he wasn’t so he didn’t lie 🧐

[@saljo4424]

Sound great done run it back a few times

[@kasjo5529]

Really enjoyed this 😊

[@lapearlapynk7542]

Yayyyyy!!!!!! This the one my favorite movie I will forever my whole life love this movie thanks for this review I love it ❤

[@shanejason1016]

1:13:17 one on one

[@sheraz7997]

I can’t stand this movie but you made it fun ❤❤

[@timekawhite9186]

Loved your overview of this movie. Would you consider doing higher learning?

[@therealmarlonbellamy]

This movie is overrated in my opinion maybe because it was played to death on BET, MTV & vH1. Fun Facts: Sanaa Lathan & Alfre Woodard were also mother & daughter in Something New & The Family That Preys, Sanaa & Regina Hall were also in The Best Man, Disappearing Acts & The Best Man Holiday, those two & Monica Calhoun were in The Best Man, Sanaa Lathan & Boris Kojoe were also in Brown Sugar, Omar Epps & Gabrielle Union were also in Almost Christmas. Love & Happiness is a staple in black movies. It was played in Menace II Society, Jason’s Lyric & Madea’s Family Reunion.

[@jessinthecomments]

Though I like this movie, as an adult their relationship was a dumpster fire and an unbalanced relationship.

[@datleoishot84]

This is still one of my all time favorite movies. But I realized when I was younger how he had daddy and mommy issues and made it like it was her fault.

[@monicaboone7664]

If you're taking suggestions I'd love a video on Juice or Poetic Justice.

[@yendaaaa]

ou yes juice😍

[@derickspencejr.6998]

Hope you do a review on The best man. I love that movie 100 times better than this one. This movie got on my nerves on so many levels and I felt so bad for Monica the entire film. Not just with Q but also her mother, her coaches, teachers, school friends. She couldn’t catch a break.

[@simp1eone]

She did already

[@tenderbrown74]

Nope, I disagree, Bondy. Monica smirked at the scar because she looked at it as a "war wound." She proved she was better than him, and had the scar to show it. She wasn't into him (or any boy); she was obsessed with basketball.

[@kendracozier7478]

Can You Watch The Photograph??? It’s Not Nostalgic I Just Want Your Views On It

[@lapearlapynk7542]

Can you do boyz in the hood please!!!!!!!!!

[@jazzyboo2191]

Yeah his dad was differently putting hands in the mom and he saw that. So he you know he thought that was ok. He differently thought it was ok because his mom took it for the most part.

[@TheLiciaCShow]

I love real with yanie she made me get my mind right
