Cherps
Director: Kolton Lee
Year: 2007
Cherps is a fresh and charming romantic comedy that draws equally on traditions of British story telling and New York independent filmmaking.<br /> Reggie is a thirtysomething second-generation black British west London geezer. He likes to live on the fly; ducking and diving, and avoiding work whenever possible. He also likes to cherps women. In black British street slang, 'to cherps' is to chat up or flirt with women. Simple.<br /> <br /> But Reggie's wild days are numbered when his longtime baby-mother, Sandra, puts the clamps on him; she wants him to settle down and stop running with his home boys. This sends Reggie into a tail spin. Settle down?! Make a commitment?! These are big concepts that need a lot of thought.<br /> <br /> And so over the next seven days our hero goes on an existential journey into the meaning of commitment, the meaning of happiness the meaning of life, no less.
