Loving Jezebel 1999 R, 87 min.
Genre: Comedy
Director: Kwyn Bader
Cast: Hill Harper, Laurel Holloman, Nicole Ari Parker, David Moscow, Phylicia Rashad, Sandrine Holt, Elisa Donovan, Lysa Aya Trenier, Andre B. Blake, John Doman
Cursed with falling for Jezebels (women who are romantically involved with more than one man), Theodurus Melville (Hill Harper) narrates this story of his failures in forming lasting relationships with the opposite sex. While the story is amusing, its parade of beautiful women does not allow time to develop depth in its characterizations, which results in the film's overall lack of substance.

If you go to the Disney website, there is a section where you can submit your email to be notified when they do release it. Maybe if they get enough requests, they will finally make it available. |
