Summary: The Urban Version of "Taming of the Shrew" -- BOMBS AWAY!!
Review: I can't even begin to tell you how much this movie stunk. I knew even before my boyfriend rented it that this was not going to appeal to me, but I thought just maybe I would be pleasantly surprised...... HOWEVER it was even Worst than I thought. From the first opening scene with the Dancers and singers... what was up with that??? I mean am I watching a Video or a movie is this like the new trend with Urban Movies to have your movies look like a Music Video?

I mean who directed this? Gabrielle was OVER THE TOP in her reactions and mannerisms (sp?) I kept rolling my eyes when she would go off (which she did quite a bit)and the way she spoke to everyone. I've seen her do a better job, but every African American actress has to have their own {BAPS} right? LOL

LL Cool J still doesn't look comfortable (at least to me) in his acting. I would probably say that LL did better in {Any Given Sunday} the other actors in this movie were also a bit nerve racking, and I sensed a bit of "cooning" on all parts, but that seems to be "okay" in todays Urban Comedies...

As I mentioned the storyline/plot is pretty much {Taming of the Shrew} but they throw in some other things into the story that made me wonder why they were even in the movie. This movie was not even THAT funny to me I mean I may have laughed after watching for a 1/2 hour in. Eva has so much control over her sisters that it was not even BELIEVABLE after a point and the men are made to look like they have no Juevos at all.. which I find hard to believe with Brothas it just got to the point where her control wasn't even plausible. Over the Sisters and their spouses/significant others.

I would suggest the movie {10 Things I Hate About You} over this it does a much better job at potraying a "shrewish" woman and the man who has to seduce her. If you really are interested see the original movie with Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor.

Summary: This movie stunk more than SPOILED MILK!
Review: I caught this movie on cable a couple of weeks ago, and it really met my expectations of my hating it with a passion! I really cannot stand these movies. It's not even good comedy. It's more embarassing than anything. These movies have little or no plotlines, overdone characters, and just plain no point. This is just one in a long line of bad movies like Baby Boy, How to be a Player, Kingdom Come, and that one w/Taye Diggs and Sanaa Lathan.

First let me echo other posters when I say that Gabrielle's acting was way over the top. She could have played evil without seeming cartoonish. She seemed to be trying to hard to convince the audience that she was the evil sister. I also have trouble believing that these grown women would allow themselves to be controlled by her the way that they were.

Nothing about the plot was convincing. From them getting together, to them falling in love, to the wack ending. And what the husbands do to keep Ray away from Eva is so much more serious than the comedic spin they tried to place on it.

Just a pointless movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very enjoyable!
Review: 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 and falling for Eva. Also, as Cool Jay gets closer to Eva, life only gets worse for the three friends that hired him, much to their chagrin.

Cool Jay gives an excellent and believable performance as the "player" and the actress that plays Eva is also perfect. There are several hilarious scenes that had me laughing out loud. The "Women only" club that is the beauty parlor has several enjoyable scenes as well.



Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If this wasn't the funniest movie
Review: I could not stop laughing with this movie. I went to the movies to see it. And when it came out on DVD, I made sure we added it to our collection. It also helped that LL Cool J is FINE as wine. If that's not one of the sexiest black men in Entertainment. Any way, go see this movie, you will laugh. Definitly not a dissapointment.

Summary: Bravo,Bravo
Review: I don't know what took me so long to see this movie. Now that I did. I'm sorry I have waited so long . Finally a movie that portays black characters in a positve and brillant light. Great leading actor LL cool J who plays a reformed player who falls for the smart, beautiful and controlling Eva played by Gabrelle Union who's just terrific. Supporting characters were great as well. The husbands were hilarious. This is a must keep in your DVD library.

Summary: great
Review: I Love Romantic Comedies And This Is The Top Of My List With Maid In Manhatten Close Behind. I Laughed , I Cried , And Most Of All Had A Darn Good Time. The Plot Aint Much. Eva Is A Girl Who Tries To Run Her Sisters Lives And Leave Their Husbands Out Of Em. Their Husbands See LL Cool J's Charector Ray In A Bar And Realize This Is The Perfect Set Up For Eva. They Pay Him $5,000 And He Realizes He Loves Eva. It Is Predictable But It Is Also Sweet And A Good Way To Spend 2 Hours.
