Getting Played

This move had potential, but didn't quite make the grade. I was hopeful when I read the cover of the DVD case. But, unfortunately, the directing was kinda bad. Some scenes had nothing to do with the movie at all and was a waste of time to even include. Such as the Joe Torry part. Maybe Joe simply wanted a more prominent part so they threw him a bone. But in doing so, it messed up the flow of the movie. Not that the flow was all that great before. I really hate to see a potentially good movie go to crap simply because of mistakes like bad editing and directing. I really feel this movie could've been good, otherwise. Instead, it ends up being so-so.

This happened to be playing on T.V. late late night one sleepless evening so I though I 'd give it a try. I got through the first 30-45 minutes...and they weren't easy! This was one of the worst wastes of space I've ever seen...

First of all: Bill Bellamy, kind of funny comedian, ATROCIOUS actor!!! Plot - highly implausible, acting - absolutely abysmal, camera/cinematography - just one big driving tour of Loa Angeles.

Are you really that hard up, Vivica? I mean, really?!?! This was just truly an incredibly stupid movie on every level. My best advice: stay away from any movie with Bill Bellamy - point blank.

This DVD was kicking around the house because someone (not me) rented it. Like a dang fool, I put it on and watched the first 30 minutes or so. Then I skipped through the remainder at 2X and 4X.

This movie has no redeeming quality whatsoever. The plot is entirely predictable, the acting is atrocious, the script is senseless, the music insipid. The movie bears absolutely no resemblance to anything in the real world and it doesn't offer up any kind of legitimate fantasy either. It's not escapist entertainment because it's not entertaining.

You know those bad movies that are fun to watch? This ain't one of them. This is just a bad movie. Avoid.

The reviews don't do this film justice; it's a very enjoyable, light-hearted comedy. It's like a 1930s screwball, but with more sex. Yet, there ends up being a real sweetness about it too.

I watched this for Joan Jett's gal pal Carmen Electra- whom really reminds me of Joan in some ways- and whom I'm quite fond of myself- but I ended up liking everyone in it! The big surprise here was Kathy Najimi as the therapist. Being the "Sister Act" (1992) and "Hocus Pocus" (1993) fan that I am, that was a real treat!

Recommended for anyone who just wants to chill with a fun, midnight movie.

I feel like I may have wasted 84 min of my life. The acting in this movie was so bad. AND THE DIRECTING!!! OMG!! Why do I need to watch people talk from sun up to sun down. I felt like slitting my wrist! If you are contemplating watching this movie....SAVE YOURSELF!! And why is Carmen Electra in this movie? Why is she in any movie? Did this movie go straight to DVD? Okay, okay let me find the rainbow in it all...Gabrielle Union wasn't in it. Isn't she always in bad movies like this one? Oh and surprisingly, Stacy Dash wasn't the worst part of this film. I think the only other time I felt this way is when I stumbled across the movie Booty Call. Hmmm Vivica was in both of movies..coincidence, I think not!
