I liked it

It was actually pretty enjoyable.

I thought Usher did a good job of acting, Emannuelle Chiriqui and Chazz Palminteri handled their jobs well and the directing and editing was pretty decent.

The story is somewhat predictable and nothing totally unexpected takes place but I didn't get bored and I thought Usher and Chiriqui had very good onscreen chemistry.

They mix in classic mob movie references(the Don in the garden for example) with standard romantic comedy fare, comical side kicks, and themes of loyalty, friendship, betrayal,family and honor (albeit dealt with in a very light hearted fashion).

So if you are a fan of these actors or you are looking for 1.5 hours of light entertainment this movie could fit the bill.

Its actually currently available on cinemanow.com (May 10 2006), which is where I got it from.

So to summarize, I wouldn't say this is the cinematic masterpiece of the year, but I did think it was an entertaining well made movie which does not deserve the rating it got, and depending on your taste in movies you might find it enjoyable.

movielover314, please ignore all the children imdb.

This movie was ok. I liked it as well.
It's not good enough for me to say, "That was a good movie," but it's certainly not a bad movie either.

^ Same here i dont get what all the bashing is about, its a budget movie on a budget timetable and actually didnt turn out that bad...

What did you guys expect? 10 minute shootouts and cgi effects? this is supposed to be a comedy...

This movie was downright corny and stupid.

[–] Shadow_Son 17 years ago

The movie wasnt stupid, Night at the Museum is a stupid movie.
Sure is a COmedy/drama, and those movies looks like this.
It´do have sense, and any idiot in the whole world could understand what is all about.

[–] hobbyhob 15 years ago

It "do" have sense????? And "what is all about?" Still, "those movies 'looks' like"?

Are you serious? What in the name of God were you attempting to say???? Again, in English, please!

Wow, yet another hack job on our fair language.... sad, sad, sad!

[–] Yamcha67 17 years ago

Just watched it pretty good not as bad as people say.. the storyline wasnt good though to be honest.. it was very strange not realistic either imo.. Overall though not a waste of time If you like Usher then watch it you'll like :). I'm a Usher fan :P so I enjoyed it :)

I completely agree with movielover314. I fully expected to hate this movie, but I was unexpectedly surprise. It really is not that bad. Yes, it's predictable, but really how many Hollywood movies aren't predictable. Definitely not an Oscar award winner, but overall this was not a horrible movie.

[–] sclark45 17 years ago

How is it predictable that a Sicilian mob daughter dates a black man. That is why this movie sucked.

It would never happen in a million years.

I thought it was ok too. There are many movies better, but this one wasn't horrible.

[–] preciousbunnie 17 years ago

The movie was nothing out of the ordinary and very predictable, but I managed to watch it til the end. So that means it couldn't have been that bad.
