Queen Latifah as Francine in Brown Sugar
Without trying very hard, Queen Latifah’s character Francine was a big comedic gem in the movie Brown Sugar. Her quick wit and “tell-it-like-it-is” (no matter where you’re at, like a wedding) way of doing things caught the Queen many a laugh during her short time on the screen. But when she would pop up, girlfriend was working miracles with the main character Sydney (played by Sanaa Lathan), helping her get hooked up with the likes of the fine NBA-playing character Kelby (played by Boris Kodjoe’s Hot self) and helping Sydney to realize whom her true love actually was. All of this while comically confusing a Brookstone massager with a vibrator.
