Salt-N-Pepa

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.

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 .

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.

Like seriously EVERYONE knows she was part of the group for decades but now all of a sudden she has 1 page maybe of dialogue the whole movie?! Do better and stop lying like she didn't have an integral position in the group.

This was so much fun I can't even begin. Lifetime clearly had a big budget. The performances were award worthy and the film took me down memory lane. I was 7 when I was dancing to Salt N Pepa at school, and every song, still remember the lyrics. It was a heart warming film, brought tears to my eyes many times and the ending is wonderful. The actress playing Sandy Denton is just as beautiful as her, fab bodies and savvy sassy attitude. Excellent casting for everyone especially Hurby Azor...they basically found his twin! Two talented women who should never be forgotten in their contribution to girl power and hip hop.
