Check out what happened in Something New!
In the midst of a meticulously ordered life as a successful certified public accountant (Kenya McQueen), Kenya's rigid adherence to perfection and control has resulted in a monochromatic existence that is as uninviting as her newly acquired home. Her friends, however, are determined to inject some much-needed color into her world by arranging a blind date with landscape architect Brian Kelly, whose unconventional charm is only rivaled by the breathtaking beauty of his work. Their initial encounter at Starbucks takes an unexpected turn when Kenya discovers Brian's Caucasian heritage, prompting her to make a swift exit.
The pair's paths continue to cross at various social gatherings, including a party at Leah Cahan's parents' home, where Brian's remarkable landscaping skills leave Kenya in awe. As their professional relationship evolves into a deepening friendship, and eventually, romance, Brian becomes instrumental in helping Kenya confront her long-suppressed desire for a more vibrant lifestyle.
Despite the growing bond between them, Kenya finds it increasingly challenging to silence her misgivings about their interracial relationship, which is subject to the scrutiny of her close-knit circle of friends, including Cheryl, Nedra, and Suzette. Her parents, Joyce and Edmond, as well as her womanizing younger brother Nelson, also exert significant influence over Kenya's emotions, fueling her concerns about the viability of her connection with Brian.
In a bid to reconcile her reservations, Kenya begins dating tax attorney Mark Harper (Nelson's introduction), whose more conventional background is perceived as a safer bet by her family. While Joyce wholeheartedly endorses the union, Edmond senses that his daughter's happiness is not genuinely reflected in her relationship with Mark. As the disconnect between her emotional and intellectual desires grows, Kenya finds herself at a crossroads, forced to reevaluate the role of societal expectations in shaping her decisions regarding love.
Ultimately, Kenya chooses to reunite with Brian, no longer allowing her controlling nature and social norms to dictate her romantic choices. The film culminates with a heartwarming ceremony, as Kenya and Brian exchange vows amidst friends and family, surrounded by the very garden that served as the catalyst for their whirlwind romance.
