Sadly Over-hyped

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

I did like the movie very much about 2 girls from a ghetto life style. At first I did not know what to expect, but it was done with class to me. It is 2 poor girls reaching fame not even trying. They were just thinking of someone else life and forgot about themselves, this is what caught my interested in the movie. This movie shows never to give up your goals and dreams. Even if we choose to put our dreams and goals on hold, we can come back to them. This movie shows that good things can come to people in unexpected ways. Also, people can change for the better when they are in different environments and presented a better way of life. It is nice to be able to enjoy a movie that shows growth from starting with nothing to gaining much more than ever imagined.

This movie get off to a slow start. Although these women are supposed to be classless and tacky, the acting could have been better. I have never seen such bad acting before. The end of the movie finally took a turn for the better. The ending is one that I did not expect. It is actually what saved the movie.

This awful early starring vehicle for the talented Halle Berry has her and Natalie Desselle portraying minimum wage paid waitresses who dream of achieving more in life and perhaps being successful small business owners. A chance encounter with some high society folks just might help them do just that. It's a disappointing comedy that's not up to Berry's talents.

Nisi and Mickey travel into LA to audition for a music video as dancers. They fail the audition but are hired by a man to pose as the granddaughters of rich Mr Blakemore. However the man's son Isaac appears to have more in mind that just this as the two countrified, black princesses stumble their way around in a rich man's world.It's hard to believe – when watching Halle Berry collected the best actress Oscar in 2002 than only a few years earlier she was in a dog like this! The story is almost a black Pygmalion in it's rags to riches type setting. It's possible to see how it might have worked – but I'm afraid it didn't work at all. The story is unimportant if the laughs come fast and thick….however I barely smiled once. The level of comedy is aimed at an audience who laugh simply because a character talks like a guest on Jerry Springer, ie squealing and yelling `girrrrrrrl!' etc. The comedy never gets above this – it's tacky and silly.Backing this up is Berry and Desselle. Deselle is terrible – simply hamming up her `blackness' – it's amazing that black audiences are happy with stereotypes and caricatures like this. Berry tries but is poor, mainly due to the material but also because she isn't a tacky country ho! It's amazing that the makers of this film manage to make this classy lady look cheap and ugly by sticking her in gold teeth, cheap clothes and tacky personality. Landau is embarrassing – at times you can see him close his eyes and just thinking of his Ed Wood Oscar! The only one that comes off well is Richardson's Manley – although he is a white Jeffery (Fresh Prince). The list of black cameos (Rodman, Leon, LL Cool J, several MTV vee-jays) don't actual add interest other than to make you wonder how so many managed to get involved in this.Overall this is not so much bad as just plain embarrassing for all involved. It shows Berry's talent that she came out of this and managed to further her career. Zero laughs, zero interest – a million cringes, what a load of BAPS!
