So this is a romantic musical about a black woman, as written by white men. According, the script, plot, lyrics, and character development swing between insultingly stereotypical and downright bizarre.
Instead of actually honoring black music styles, the forgettable lyrics are sung to bland music with a baffling Jamaican accent by characters who had a normal British accent moments earlier, and/or with some random butchering of grammar and pronunciation.
The acting and the quality of the singing was good, even if everything they were directed to do was awful. Quality filming as well.
