Undescribable Perfection

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

I thought that movie was interesting and I enjoyed the scenery. But I wanted to see a love story develop between Angela Basset and Kevin Anderson. But it was a good movie. Angela Basset was beautiful as always and delivers well in the story.

I really enjoyed the movie although I wish some of the plotline was a little more developed or detailed. However, what really got me was the music. It was incredible. I am hoping they come out with a CD of the actual music used in the movie. Kevin Anderson's voice was incredible. I was blown away.

I'm not a cable subscriber. This Showtime movie I rented strictly because of Angela Bassett and Executive Producer Whoopi Goldberg (One Ho Productions). Coming from Cajun roots, I was disappointed at the poor attempt at the Cajun dialogue. (If you can't do it right, leave it alone)Angela Bassett plays a Juke Joint Owner in a small town in Louisiana. She's married to a man who has outgrown the marriage for whatever reason. The time is suppose to be the 60's. I was surprised to hear a customer asking Ruby (Angela Bassett) "Are you down with that"?? I was expecting the sexual tension that I read on the DVD cover. Instead, I felt the movie fell flat, especially towards the end. Angela delivers, as does Kevin Anderson.Adapted from a stage play, I would have preferred to see the play.

I love a movie like this that has no boring scenes. I think Kevin Anderson is highly underrated as an actor and I expect to see him soar soon. He struck my attention just as Russell Crowe did in "the Quick and the Dead"
