It is a performances centric movie

Absolutely the worst movie.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Decent Movie Love for Sale. The movie was adorable and hilarious. I absolutely loved the soundtrack, but I can't find it anywhere!? I even tried looking for the individual songs, and that's difficult too. Does anyone have a clue where I can find it at? I liked this movies for it's use of new unknown actors and at first I couldn't connect the title with the plot. Although I like Mya and Jason Weaver, Clifton Powell presents some funny scenes with the only white people in the movie. The two rappers are funny too and this silly rap song they did got stuck in my head for a couple of days. Also, there is not a lot of cussing in the movie which I found refreshing. I often say so many movies can still make their point without all the cussing. I've watched this movie more than once and liked it more each time.

When Jason and Jackie walk into the club or whatever a song a couple songs play. The songs have tight beats and i really like them. Can any1 tell me what those songs are called please? The songs come up right before Jackie gets punched in the mouth and Jason punches someone else. I am not talking about the songs that B3 and no doubt sang. I am talking about the song played in the back round when they rolled up to the club. Please i couldn't find a soundtrack to this damn movie so if anyone could answer this i would greatly appreciate it. I will be researching until someone helps me find it. Someone help me answer this question as soon as possible i need to find out this song Thanks

My husband and I rented this film on a whim, and were pleasantly surprised. We actually got a good laugh out of the movie. We enjoyed Jackie Long and Jason Weaver together. They actually work well together and play off of one another. I wouldn't be surprised if some of their scenes had a little ad libbing. Melyssa Ford did a pretty decent job, but I just wanted Mya to show a little more emotion in her role, considering what her character was dealing with. I don't know if Russ wanted to play down the dramatic effect with her character's situation to keep the movie light, or if she just didn't have enough layers to her acting.But beside that, overall we enjoyed the movie. There are some scenes we still joke about like the boyfriend showing up in the restaurant and Vince's response, the CSI blue light reflecting God knows what in Vince's room, and Cinque's constantly educating the white Brutha and Sista. Cute romantic comedy that teaches (without getting preachy) that love is shown through loyalty and respect and can't be bought. "Do you know where I'm going with this?"

It's interesting to see what has happened with smaller black films in just the last decade. In the nineties we had fluff like "Strictly Business" and "Trippin'," which were hardly masterworks of film-making, but at least these movies had decent production values. They were released in theaters because straight-to-video didn't exist in any significant way for black films at that time.Fast forward 10 years later and anyone with a digital camera and about $50,000 can get a movie made. Independent film-making is now truly independent. "Love for Sale" is a product of this movement. The movie stars Jackie Long and Jason Weaver, both from "ATL," as cousins, Trey and Vince, respectively, working at a barbecue joint and looking for love in the streets of North Carolina.Male viewers will no doubt be drawn to the movie because it stars former video vixen Melyssa Ford (Katherine) and R&B singer Mya (Keiley), both of whom headline the movie along with Jackie Long.Melyssa plays an older, but not quite old, ex sorority girl who is feeling maturity set in as she goes through a separation with her husband. She's on the prowl for young studs and Trey fits the bill. This is the type of role Beverly D'Angelo made popular in the "Vacation" movies and Jennifer Cooledge solidified as a MILF in "American Pie." Unfortunately, Melyssa Ford is just too young and attractive to be playing spinster roles just yet. Melyssa is a lot of things, but desperate and clingy she is not (believably at least). As luck would have it, Trey likes Keiley, who is nicely played by the relentlessly charming Mya. Mya is appropriately cast in this movie and does a very nice job with what little she's given. Her plot involves her being in an unhealthy relationship with a boyfriend she's had since junior high school."Love for Sale" suffers from a number or problems. It can't figure out its tone--is it a comedy or a drama? It has secondary story lines that are lifeless retreads of things we've seen before and that are completely uninteresting. Most importantly, "Love for Sale" lacks momentum or a compelling story line.It has a few likable sections, such as the scene toward the end where Mya finally hooks up with the Trey character. But this movie, even for an independent effort, is inadequate in many respects. And this is coming from someone who enjoys even the most mediocre indies. Still, if you are a die-hard Melyssa Ford or Mya fan, it *may* be worth seeing for them.
