Depressing...

Wow, Vivica is really scraping the barrell. Didn't the rest of the cast list tip her off? Carmen Electra and Stacy Dash as co-stars? I actually feel bad for her.

I mean, this was a horrible, horrible movie. Of all the stupidity in the movie, I think the most annoying thing was the random narration. It was like the movie wasn't sure whose perspective it wanted to show. You go through half the movie, and suddenly Bill Bellamy is narrating? Even though it starts out focusing on the women? Ok. But then, randomly, Vivica is narrating the end! WTH? Crazy movie.

And what an embarrassingly long strip-tease...

Vivica should be considered an A list star by now but she "Played" herself by shaking her as.s cheeks at the MTV awards. Pathetic.

I was trying to watch the movie yesterday on BET but I couldn't get through it; I had to turn it off because the story-line alone turned me off as well.

These movies are so-so tired!

Best,
Miss. T

If she really was financially comfortable, she wouldn't have taken a role in this movie. It has absolutely no artistic merit.

She could and should do better.

The Tuskegee Airmen, Soul Food, Why Do Fools Fall In Love, Set It Off, and Kill Bill. It's all subjective, but those were all well-made films that had something to say. Independence Day was a great popcorn flick, Don't Be A Menace (although very stupid) was a decent and pretty spot-on parody, and Vivica has also got some good TV credits under her belt.

At this point in her career, she should have been getting the projects Angela Bassett and Halle Berry turn down, not just any old movie that makes her an offer.
