Summary: Go Nelly
Review: Nelly's debut movie was definitely a hit to me, not just because I'm his #1 fan, it just was.I recommend this movie it's good enough to see over again so I'm gon' hit the theaters back up. Although there were a very few things that weren't all that good but he's still a five!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Pete Ross 4 eva
Review: Sj3 is the effin' man, dawg. When he ain't helpin' out in Smallville with his amazing deliverence of "Aw Snap", or doing death defying stunts (See the episode where he says "It's ok, byron" and gets thrown, then gets run into by a car. A parked car.). And he was awesome as that autistic hero in Zig Zag, downright brilliant, makes me think he should have been the lead in Titanic. Leo who? Leonardo Jones III, that's who.

But none of this flick measures up to the spouting of his one line per episode of Smallville. "Bad" Pete is the bomb digity. And he does it with dignity. "For you, green means stop, red means go."

SJ3 is a shallow nickname, let's step it up, SJ Cubed.

Snap on, brother.

Summary: Whoa Nelly
Review: So we add yet another attempt by a rapper to enter into the movie industry. And we add another failure. Why can't these guys get a clue that they just cannot act? Ok, so maybe Nelly is the best out of the lot. DMX doesn't even compare to him.

Snipes is just a poorly directed and poorly acted film. Sam Jones III is excellent, but besides him, everyone else fumbles through their lines. The kid does have a future in movies unlike the rest of the actors.

The entire concept seems to be derived straight from a B rap movie that has been made a thousand times before. There are twists and turns that make you want to find out what happens in the end, but I was in no way biting my nails or on the edge of my seat.

The directing was flat and led to a slow, slow pacing of the movie. There was very little humor to fall back on. It seemed as if the director couldn't figure out what sort of atmosphere he wanted to create.

Snipes really didn't hold its own and I would not recommend it for any situation. It's just a bad, bad movie. 2 Stars

Summary: Bad excuse to say the 'f' word
Review: u get pretty sick of hearing 'f' this 473 times. Otherwise decent movie

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great movie - NOT just a rapper trying to act
Review: Yes, first of all I am a HUGE fan of Nelly's and that's a main reason I wanted to buy the movie. So, I did and I LOVED it. It's not a one of those 'rapper movies', it's actually very good and excellent to be Nelly's first film appearance. I actually could place myself into each characters situations and actions, and it's not often I'm persuaded into movies to that depth.

From the beginning of the movie until the end, I never wanted to stop the movie, anyone to interrupt me and never once did I get bored with any of it. There was ALWAYS something going on to keep me interested in the movie.

Others may disagree but I really think this is a good movie. It has some vulgar language and some mature situations, dealing with fights, guns and abuse - but I recommend this movie to everyone and that's why I give Nelly and the movie 5 stars!
