"Hav Plenty" is a little Afro-Am romantic comedy which tells of the wax and wane of an unspoken but simmering love between an unemployed writer, Lee Plenty (Cherot), and a beautiful career woman, Havilland Savage (Maxwell)...hence the title, "Hav" and "Plenty" (Get it?). The film has a stagey feel from being shot on sets with characters occasionally speaking directly to the camera, avoids excesses (excesses cost money), and relies mostly on a "less is more" philosophy to get from start to finish. Nonetheless, "Hav Plenty" has a sort of quietly endearing charm which must flow from Cherot as he is the auteur and lead actor and it -is- a true story....or so he tells us in the film (and I Tivo'd is from the "True Stories" channel on cable). Okay stuff for those looking for a low cal watch on tv. (C-)
