Summary: Straight to TV???
Review: I was in total shock when I saw this movie on MAX this past weekend. I thought it was Mariah Carey's third chance on the big screen (The Bachelor, Glitter, Wisegirls) and after all the excellent reviews at Sundance, I thought it was going to be her way of reinvidicate after the failure of Glitter. I guess the distributors thought she was worn out!!!

Summary: Amazing movie, good acting performances
Review: If you're a Mafia kind fan, you should really own the movie. The plot is very good, and the movie is very interesting itself. If you were going to buy it and had second thoughts cuz mariah is here (cuz you heard about her movie Glitter), just buy it, cuase you will not be disappointed, but also stunned by her acting performance, Mira's acting is great too. As I said, buy this item, it is very good.

Summary: Mariah and Mira Pure Talent
Review: Mariah Carey and Mira Sorvino are great in the movie "Wisegirls." These two women are pure talent , they just shine. Wisegirls was a wise choice for Mariah to take on as her 3rd movie. Cant wait til it comes out on DVD. Everyone should buy the Dvd for a New Years present. :)

Summary: Coulda been better
Review: Mariah Carey is a SUPERB singer.Her body of work is stellar.These days she wants to act,and there's nothing wrong with that...if you can act.Right now she can't.Maybe somewhere in the future she'll throw down on an acting job ,but for right now...
Anyway,the actual movie is quite decent.Mira Sorvino and the other lady make due.Mariah tends to overact slightly,but it's more watchable than "Glitter" was.It's an O.K. movie but it could have been a little more believable.
The plot is like that of a very mediocre Sorpranos episode and I won't give any more of that away.
I still can't figure out why Cinemax showed it BEFORE it came out on DVD?!! Was it a marketing ploy? I thought a movie had to be out on video for about a year before cable got it.

Summary: WISE GIRLS, STUPID AGENTS
Review: Nearly every distributor in the business understandably passed on this straight-to-video stinker, not wanting to enable Mira Sorvino in gleefully cramming her flailing career in the Cuisenart.Fans of Mariah "Meltdown" Carey may be tempted to rent this in hope gaining some insight into the rumored-about, salt shaker-tossing catfight that erupted between her and Sorvino when the diva showed up late on the set for the umpteenth time. Watching this pastafoozeling silliness, you'll marvel at the fact that she showed up at all. It's clear early on that no one involved in this opus knew what kind movie they were making. What starts out as a marinara-flavored 9 to 5 inevitably spirals into a Girl Power Good Fellas. (Forgive the tacky, Italian clichés but these here filmmakers already beat me to the punch.) Wisegirls, an undercooked narrative lasagna, tells us the story of three waitresses: the surly, confident workhorse (Carey), the struggling, flibbertigibbet actress (Melora Walters), and the sensitive newcomer (Sorvino) who harbors a Terrible Secret and is looking for a Clean Start. They slave away in an upscale, "Family" eatery for exorbitant tips doled out by lecherous goombahs. The unintentional laughs begin when a coked-out, thug hanger-on blows his nose off with his own pistol. (Anything to get out of this movie.) Sorvino stops the movie dead, announcing, "Back off! I went to medical school!" Just when you think it can't get any loopier, Sorvino saves the day by wrapping the guy's head in cellophane! You won't want to miss the sight of Carey squirming while having to prop open the goon's bloody nostrils with her fingers. Naturally, the ladies bond after enjoying some working-girls-out-on-the-town antics. During one particular girlie rap session, Carey sips champagne with her pinky finger up and goads Sorvino's Terrible Secret out of her. I wouldn't dream of spoiling it for you but I do have to let one thing slip: you'll never look at carnival rides the same way again. Try to stay awake to see hapless Sorvino finally Run Afoul Of The Mob. Our heroine is clocked after mouthing off to her drunken boss and one of her Guido admirers comes rushing to her defense, beating the jerk into a bloody manicotti. Now that she's Seen Too Much, Sorvino is forced to use her well-learned surgical skills on the disposing of the evidence. Held at gunpoint, she contemplates taking a bullet or gettin' busy with the hacksaw while she acts and acts and acts! Stay tuned for another ridiculous surprise involving Walters' character (It makes her heretofore birdbrained performance somewhat forgivable) but I can't resist spoiling the biggest surprise of all: MARIAH CAREY IS THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS MOVIE. I'm still not sure why this is. Perhaps it's because she doesn't try as hard and simply coasts through the wreckage on her starpower while Sorvino and Walters are embarrassingly methody, toiling away as if they're making serious art. So open a bottle of cheap Chianti, bask in the sleazy glow of this made-by-coke-money bonfire, and be prepared to hate yourself in the morning. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Summary: very surprised!
Review: OK, I rented this movie getting ready to laugh at yet another Mariah flop. I was wrong! From the way they marketed it (or lack of) you would think its a comedy, but its not. This is a very good movie. I was so enthralled throughout. There are a few twists that had me jumping out of my seat. I even have to say that Mariah was good in it. I liked it so much I am going to buy it for my collection. I highly recommend this movie!

Summary: Marvelous MARIAH MIRA & MELORA
Review: The best movie I have to say for 2002, It was a shocker not to see this film in the theatres. I'm sure it had its reason. For all those that have had the opportunity to have already seen it prior to the release of the DVD, will agree with me that this performance by Carey will be the best so far. Next to her superb performance in Glitter, which in my opinion is one of the best movies in 2001. Mira did an excellent job working alongside Carey and Waters. Waters was the final tough to the awesome trio. Great Job Ladies! It is definately a must see for 2002 into 2003!
