Salt-N-Pepa

Some of the movie came off choppy. There were slow points that were extremely detailed and other points that seemed rushed that left the watcher with questions. As a Salt-N-Pepa fan through their entire career, I was disappointed that they left Spinderella pretty much out of the story. It would be nice if they would have delved into the issues there since many of their fans know how much she was left out of the limelight particularly over recent years. A decent start for a biopic, but definitely could be improved upon.

Admit that i saw this film to its enticing title salt and pepa, knowing the vixen song ''push it'' must be in there, some of the best 80'sh disco rythmic kinda ecstasy at a time when i still spun the dancefloor at the local clubs.

but was i impressed with what i saw, no not at all, the song was there in some pretty nice layouts including the original, along with other selfcarpentered hip hop that may chill the hearts of todays youth. so i give a 6 for the musical score.

acting are the sugar sweet american television ,black neighbourhood with twinkling large neclaces and to the fingertips makeupstyled actors that are just from mediocre to average in their job.

productionwise its a good visual product but the sound quality are ready for the bin in the corner, especially in the dialouges, everybody is like living in a box, sounding like talking in a yougurt can with a fishing line to the other.so its a damaging execution that shouldve been refurbished before release. 1 for sound and 6 for filmo.

that should give a total of 4 from the ''word up'''ed grumpy old man. a small recommend for the hiphoppers.

I love Salt-N-Pepa, but not this movie. I forced myself to commit to the two hour flop. Normally, I'm up singing and dancing with the movie. This time I was in my bed under the covers. When it ended my husband asked if I want it deleted, I said yes. Normally I save good movies and watch them again and again. The movie was choppy. The characters were not distinctive. I kept mixing up Salt and Pepa. Spinderella needed to be more prevalent in the story line. But seeing Pepa on GUHH she likes all the attention. No way she was sharing it with Spin. When I think of Salt-N-Pepa I think of all three women. When we think of RunDMC we include Jam Master Jay. When we think of Whodini I visualize Grandmaster Dee right beside them. Too bad women always have issues that leads to situations like this. Calling Spin an employee hurt me. Spinderella rapped, she danced on the videos, etc. An employee is the assistant, stage hand crew, or the back up dancers. Women need to support and uplift each other more, through the good and bad. I'm glad TLC still had sisterly love for Left Eye even during their difficult times. That's a true sisterhood. And that's why their biopic movie was good.

I loved the Lifetime movie, Salt & Pepa. It's was more than I imagined. I wish I knew more about Spinderella. It's so authentic and the cast was phenomenal. Salt and Pepa are such icons for Hip-Hop. I pray that they continue to thrive and uplift the culture .

This interesting look into the life and times of one of the 80s good but not great hip-hop duos comes off a bit amateurish. Considering the experience level of director Mario Van Peebles, this formulaic approach was missing a professional touch. The decision to place unknown and untested actors in starring roles might save the budget, but it insures that this style of film making will stay on the Lifetime channel where there is a ton of time to fill and nor enough original product. Black women viewers deserve better. I hope Queen Latifah's acting chops keep going up because this nonepic dioes nothing for her as a producer.
