Salt-N-Pepa

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.

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.

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.

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 .
