Fresh new comedy (by cutez) |
The movie started off very funny, but at the end it turned out to be a romance. I think this is a great date movie, because you saw all the smiling couples walking out and kissing. This isn't a "chick" flick and can viewed by a group of girls and guys. The age group I would say this is aimed at is 15-24 females. |
Predictable but good (by Newsense) |
Yeah, this movie is kind of predictable. The ending could have been seen a mile away but I like this movie a lot. It was recommended to me by the same friend who recommended American History X to me. He wasn't wrong about that movie and he wasn't wrong here. I was skeptical about seeing Gabrielle Union who is too fine for words playing a feisty character but the movie was a lot better than the previews led me to believe.Story: 3 men who are constantly hen-pecked by their girlfriends' sister Eva hire a player named Raymond played by LL Cool J to date her so they can spend more <more> |
Absolutely innovative plot (by brendonfranc) |
If you were to judge a book by it's cover, you would think "this film is a cheap urban black film". However, once you get into the film and the plot slowly reveals - it is a very great, underrated film with an astonishing story. Congratulations to the writers who came up with the concept and the cast for shaping the film into a remarkable film that it is! Gabrielle Union is such a talented actor, it was unpredictable how influential her role would be in immersing myself to watch this film with a fantastic sense of fulfillment. LL Cool J plays as the imposing, strong man who will <more> |
Very Enjoyable (by miken-3) |
I caught this movie on cable the other night never hearing about it before and I was pleasantly surprised by this well-made and highly entertaining film.Three friends hire a Romeo Cool Jay type "player" to try to romance and dump the ultimate "dragon lady" Eva who manipulates their women and eat up and spits out men without a thought. The idea is that the Romeo will dump Eva making her leave and then they can have control over their women and their lives.Not to give anything away but the longer Cool Jay "romances" Eva, he finds himself forgetting his purpose <more> |
Loved it (by casik) |
This movie had me laughing out loud from beginning to end. I saw the DVD version so the LL Cool J and K-Ci & JoJo videos helped wrap up the story lines. Gabrielle Union and LL Cool J were amazing. It was great to watch the personality transformations as they happened. Even Jacqui lightened up a bit and she seemed more stiff than Eva at times. It's a really funny movie. You don't have to think too much, you can just sit back and enjoy. Make sure you watch the deleted scenes at the end as well. It helps to clear up some gaps. It actually would have been nice to have these re-added <more> |
Good Romance Comedy (by kenandraf) |
Good romance comedy with average production.You get here exactly what is promised to you.Main attraction is the sex appeal of the KING OF HIPHOP LL Cool J. Could have used better screenplay.Only for fans of Hiphop and LL and this particular genre........ |
Surprisingly Warm!!! (by nifabs) |
Despite criticism, this manages to deliver a bit of comedy and drama. Gabrielle Union gives a standout performance as the unbelievable Eva Dandridge who needs someone like Ray to knock her from her high horse but she's that way cos she's taken too many knocks from life. She is pure evil. LL Cool J is a bit too neat or not too expressive maybe it's the role maybe not but he cuts a slightly bland figure. Between the two of them,they manage to create a cracking chemistry that sizzles and makes all other characters pale by comparison.This movie was touching and sincere for a Black <more> |
Enjoyable movie! 4* out of 5 (by x1c0) |
When I start to watch this movie I wasn't expecting the movie of my life but it's a good romantic comedy. The 105 min of this movie seems 10min.Good cast, nice interpretation and a reasonable direction. If you already saw Breaking all the rules with Jamie Joxx don't waste your time because it is very similar. Gabrielle Union seems to like this kind of movies and she do it well but not perfect.It also had a good plot which kept my attention. In resume this is a film that you don't have to push your mind to the limits to understand him, it is a very light movie, watchable, <more> |
