We Belong Together

Firstly, I must say that Draya does crazy so well. Her ability to play the crazy ex is one thing that makes this movie bearable - her acting is actually OK. Pleasant surprise. Aside from that, the storyline is OK, but I felt it was rushed at times and as a result, there is a lot of cutting away from/to new scenes. It is very choppy! I thought the ending was quite good, it leaves room for a sequel. It's not a rubbish movie - it's bearable but rushed. Something to pass the time and enjoy if you kind of like 'relationship gone wrong movies' and are a fan of Elise Neal or Draya, but you won't write home about it. It's just OK.

I thought the acting in this was exceptional. Story was predictable. If you seen one you seen them all. All that being said, I give it a five.

Draya's presence sets off the frame and damn nears melts the celluloid every time the camera finds her. I had no idea she had such serious acting chops. She makes pure evil look so good. She plays the temptress/villainess to maximum satisfaction. Instead of offering an apple, she rather offers an apple bottom...which the director of this mess is obviously obsessed with (who wouldn't be?) as he zoom a zoom zooms in on it constantly. Without Draya I would have given up after a few minutes. The lead actor, who looks like a doppelganger of that chubby Hootie & the Blowfish dude, but with a magician's goatee, should never be allowed on a film set again. His acting is crazy whack throughout. The dialogue is downright childish. The cheap sets are somewhere between soap opera and porno level. The plot has more knots than a pretzel factory. Draya is poetry in motion throughout. I hope her performance here opens up opportunities to appear in films with bigger budgets and better writing. I feel bad that she had to deign to make out with Hootie. Yuck. One of my favorite scenes is where she sucker punches Hootie's ex-wife, who just surfaced from a coma, out of her wheelchair. Draya's one tough cookie. The only other actor that merits a mention is the hot grandmother. I gave 1 more star for her performance. Draya's a 10 all day, but because of the clueless Hootie dude I had to subtract points. Watch it for Draya and maybe that grandmother. Forget about that Hootie looking dude though.

So this movie was not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be but it definitely was not good at all. The acting and writing were both mediocre and plot was predictable.

One question that has been irking me is why is the wife's mom and the wife like the same age? They looked more like sisters than mother and daughter.

Now this was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The acting and direction were laughable. The emotions seemed fake and off. Even the scenes of violence and passion seemed unrealistic. To even call this garbage a movie is a slap in the face to the B grade movie industry. Eventually I even had to press fast forward.
