'Something New'

There's not really anything fresh about the romantic dramedy "Something New." Although its producer, Stephanie Allain ("Hustle & Flow"), characterizes it as "the first interracial love story of the 21st century with a black woman and a white man," and as forgettable as the 2005 Bernie Mac-Ashton Kutcher mash-up "Guess Who" was, the interracial romance is no longer much of a novelty.
