JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Biker Meth Oddly the worst thing about this movie wasn't Usher's acting. It might have been that this entire film is one giant ego trip on the self adoration train and sadly their are many many stops. We are forced to watch as Ushers character Daryll is painfully irresistible to the opposite sex and the movie piece by broken piece dismantles Dolly's seemingly strong relationship with her fiancé Chad and then carefully constructs a new relationship with Usher. At no point did I think of the main character as anyone but Usher. He played himself in a world were he lives out his Italian crime sex fantasy. This film is 911 disaster porno bad. 95 minutes of vanity peppered with the most annoying character in the history of cinema, Frankie Junior. I begged for mercy every time he made any kind of contribution to the story. Strangely Kevin Hart was good. A shining beacon in a sea of feces.
dashielle89-425-132181 I caught this movie on TV recently, and I am a little surprised at all of the awful reviews it has. Was it a great movie? No, of course not. But really it isn't as horrible as it is being made out to be.It is a pretty typical romance story about two people who fall for each other even though they come from very different families and daddy doesn't approve. The girl's (Dolly) father is an Italian mob boss and our main character (Darrell) is a young DJ who, it seems, escaped a ghetto-like lifestyle along with his father because of the mob boss (Frank). Frank asks Darrell to protect his daughter from an unknown hit man that is after him and his family. He agrees, and you have your story.Now, I will admit, the acting is not very good, the plot is old news, the characters are a bit dull, it is predictable and cliché, and over all it is not a very high quality movie. But does that mean it is one of the worst movies ever and deserves a rating around 2/10? Not in my opinion. I have seen a lot lot worse out there, some movies I don't even want to finish, and some of them get pretty good ratings on here (even with bad critic ratings).This movie at least managed to keep me watching until the end. Actually I really didn't think much of it, I didn't like it or dislike it. It is a movie you can watch without having to think, it will follow the path you think it does- it is an easy watch. Sometimes those kinds of movies are good when you're bored and maybe want to do something else simultaneously while watching. To me it seems like any other mediocre/low-quality movie, nothing horrible, but nothing great either. So I give it a 5.
wrlang In The Mix is about a DJ (Usher) who does a gig for some old time family friends who just happen to be Italian mafia. Usher saves the life of the patriarch and is given the job of being body guard to his childhood friend and the daughter of the mafia boss Dolly (Chriqui - stunning) who he subsequently falls for and she he. The boss fights the idea and almost intrduces the DJ to some harp music. The DJ then saves the boss and his daughters life again for the save. With a super strong cast, the acting is tremendous and very natural, all the good old boys are there. The dialog is relatively fresh as it successfully merges diverse cultures. This is one that could be watched several times each year.
itz_just_aaron Hey. This is a review by a 15 year old teen. And this is what I thought after seeing the poster.I was really excited to see this movie!! I first saw the trailer back when it was in theaters. Usher plays Darrell, who is a DJ that becomes a bodyguard for mob daughter Dolly. It was pretty interesting: hip hop beats, "girls & guy candy" for all teenagers, plus protecting a mob boss's daughter. I thought this was gonna a hit action/comedy/romance. Like with great action scenes. .Months later I rent this DVD. The beginning is alright with songs that, us, teenagers recognize (like Usher's "My Boo") but I thought it was running too long. A bit of comedy in the first 30 minutes, but the brother pretending to be black was not funny at all. And 2 action scenes within an hour(well not action scenes per se... but a less than 30 seconds each of a gunshot and a car not braking on a pedestrian stop).Soon the rest is just cheesy romantic stuff, that probably only fans of the cast would sit through. Yeah, the swimming was the only thing working for me. I even skipped a chapter and it was another lets-be-flirty-in-a-different-location scene. The last action scene was the ending. I thought it was average - not good not bad, but could've done better. It included comedy too. (The dog was cute) But I disliked how the bad guy -------. It was dull. Especially the "One Year Later." Omg.Don't watch this if you want an action comedy movie. Watch it if you want a romance without the on-screen chemistry.
