Quotes

Mr. Donaldson: There is no reason you can't do something for your people. You could do something really great. Historic, maybe. I mean, we're talking the Obamas. The Williams sisters. And like Tiger Woods.
Langston: Well, if, uh... you're referring to the American people... then, yes, I have every intention of making the American people very proud.
Mr. Donaldson: Well, I was thinking specifically of your people, the black people.
Langston: Well, I live in Georgetown, so I guess these... these would be my people. And Tiger Woods lives in Florida, ...

User Reviews

To predictable, to corny and just too bad.

I love a good romantic comedy but Baggage Claim in nowhere even near that type of movie. It seemed more like an corny SNL skit that lasts over an hour. I had the movie already figured out in the first 15 minutes and had to endure the rest of the flick. This plot is just one notch above that goofy Soul Plane from a few years back and a few below Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail. A better script, more realistic characters and a more serious touch the movie might be average. Paula Patton is beautiful as always that you can't deny and Ty Diggs is an accomplished actor but they need to move on into some more serious roles. My advise is don't waste your time on this one. I still can't believe I didn't walk out.
