Summary: Jada Pinkett and Queen Latifah Rule the Roost
Review: This is a wonderful movie; about 1/2 action and 1/2 drama. All of the acting is incredible, and I think that Queen Latifah, playing one of four bank robbing women, should have been nominated for an Oscar.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: this film is off da hook
Review: this is one of my all-time favorite movies and i really reccomend it. it has all of the different elements of a great film from comedy to drama to action to romance. the end of the movie was the best and it is a real sad ending. but if you get a chance you should definetly watch it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THEY WERE FED UP & SNAPPED
Review: This is one of the best movies. I could understand what everyone of the characters were enduring. I have to give much props to Queen La b/c she has endured much controversy & gossip b/c of her character Cleo. Each women were involved in the life of crime because of different reasons. When you are constantly seen in negative light, never seeming to amount to anything, and always told of what you won't be able to accomplish you think, so what, who cares what I do. That's how Frankie (Vivica A. Fox) and Stony (Jada Pinkett-Smith) both felt. Frankie got involved in robbing banks after she was accused of helping the man that pointed a gun to her head and robbed the bank she worked in just because they were from the same sides of the track. Stony saw her brother gunned down because he was the victim of police violence. It didn't matter that her brother was going to college and that he happen to be friends with the wrong people, all they seen was another black boy that needed to be taken down. All they wanted was a life better than what they had, which wasn't much. You see the life on television that others seem to have, but for you, it's always out of reaching distance. This is a great movie with a really sad ending. I cried out for Stony because she really got the bad end of the deal, even though she's the only one that made it out.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Heart Rushing Movie
Review: This movie had you on the edge of your seat. You didn't know what was going to happen next. Jada and Queen played their roles with realism. You felt their pain. Even though they are criminals, you will want them to get away to rob another bank. The love story was a refreshing interlude between the action of the bank robberies. You get to see that they have a heart.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Queen Latifah
Review: This movie was fun in the BONNIE AND CLYDE sense of the word. It's a good flick to watch if you want to laugh, cry, and shake your head to a decent soundtrack. It's a good film to chill with--just don't over analyze it. The best part of the film was Queen Latifah, who was so much fun to watch. She steals the show every time she is on screen, and it kind of makes you wonder why she doesn't make more movies and why she isn't a bigger star. Great job all around.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: the last half hour
Review: when my sister asked me for a good movie to see, i gave he 'set it off' and knowing she gets bored pretty easily, i wanted the strongest thing to push her seeing this one at least. so, i set up the video for the last half hour, and watched how her tears started to fall. then of course, she kept seeing it over and over again.
brilliant cast, queen latifa is an amazing woman, love her so much.
