Not a 4 stars but familiar faces makes for a nice one time watch.

This movie was so awful that it inspired me to sign into IMDb after not doing so for a couple of years.

For the life of me, I can't understand why HBO would buy the rights to show this "film". ... (think Walker Texas Ranger type storyline, script, and dialog)

The director assembled an encore cast headlined by Terrance Howard, Donnie Wahlberg, and beautiful Nia Long. However, as another poster mentioned, even the all star cast of actors couldn't save the lame script and the predictable "plot twists".

This was an awful movie. I'm glad that I watched it on HBO so I only wasted my time and not my money.

Very cheesy, direct to video B-movie. Although the acting was pretty good. There were a lot of first rate actors in the movie Ernie Hudson, Nia Long, Donnie Wahlberg, etc. The story was cheesy and simplistic. It was not very interesting and although I actually watched the whole thing I was rather bored with it. I can see why this was not distributed in movie theaters. I don't think it would have done very well. My advice is don't spend your hard earned money to rent this. Wait for it to come on cable or borrow it from somebody who has already wasted their money on it like I did.

It's the wee hours on Sunday night / Monday morning, and channel-surfing brought up this movie. It didn't seem too bad, and in fact, I was really enjoying it. I was curious about who played Rick, and naturally went to IMDb, and I found out that I should hate this movie, if I can trust most of the other reviewers. Phooey on them --- I LIKED IT!! It kept my attention, stuff was always happening, heck, I had fun! That's what I watch movies for -- fun. I don't know about direction, plot holes and all that other jive -- save that for English class and Miss Pruneface. I mean, what more do you want from a movie: vertigo, Tim Lister AND Tony Todd, a drum magazine in a 9mm pistol, jeez, this movie had it ALL!

I decided to take a chance on this one and boy was I wrong! The writing and directing were terrible and it's clear why this person didn't do features after this.

There is talent in the cast, I think Donnie is a decent actor, but not in this movie. Ernie is also a solid actor, but not here. Tony Todd was mis cast and misused and Shemar Moore and Sally Richardson are always eye candy. Nia Long also didn't impress me here.

The premise is decent, but the execution is terrible. Also, for a movie about the record industry, the soundtrack sucked.

Another red flag was the title change. Both titles are terrible, but anytime you change the title of a movie, you are running from bad box office or bad reviews.

I never laughed, but I don't recall any jokes. I was never on the edge of my seat, unless it was to leave the room and I never felt like this movie was going anywhere. No idea how this movie got made, but OMG, Hot Buttered Garbage!!!
