Summary: Don't waste your time
Review: Love may not cost a thing, but this movie does and its not worth it. The male character goes from erkel to puff doody overnight and is never likeable. Why the hot chick goes for him after all the stupid stuff he pulls is beyond comprehension. Stereotypes abound in this movie and none of them add anything to the humorless wreck. At the end I felt sorry for the nice selfless cheerleader (one non-stereotype anyway) who ends up with the goofy jerk in the end.

Review: Man Love Don't Cost A Thing wass the greatest movie i have seen.Ive never really had a favorite mve untill i saww Love Don't Cost A Thing.Its a funny movie it will have u laughing so hard ur stomach will start to hurt but also at the same time its romantis because of how Alvin and Paris just start out as helping each other out but at the end they end up together.But also this movie teaches u that u aint got to change just to be "ONE OF THE ELIETS" or meaning on of the kool people.This is just a wonderfull movie tO watch.

Summary: HORRIBLE!!!
Review: OK, I just seen this movie on HBO. Who was this movie made for? You would think kids, since the story is about a teenager. But then there is the very annoying Steve Harvey, and his jokes are so crude I would never let my kid see this. Especiallyt the scene where he tries to teach his son to put on a condom. WHAT THE HELL??? He starts to simulate sex in front of his son, and rightfully so he runs out of the room, as I did watching this. Besides the fact this is a very bad remake the 80's teen comedy Can't Buy Me Love, but Steve Harvey is the ugliest most non-funny guy in the history of movies. Why would anyone cast him in a movie? I couldnt picture seeing his ugly face on a big screen. I may have ran out of the theatre screaming. Save your money on this garbage, there is not one funny moment in the movie. I would rather watch ANYTHING but this. This goes down as the WORST film I have ever seen, and I have seen alot!!!

Summary: Popularity comes with a heavy price tag
Review: The best way to describe this movie is cute. Alvin is a part-time pool cleaner who can fix cars and is not a part of the in crowd. The nerd has a serious crush on Paris (recording artist Christina Millian) but knows he has no chance to get with the popular girl. Not to mention Paris is dating NBA player Drew, despite the fact that he is playing her by cheating on her and claiming he is single on national TV. Alvin is working on a project that can help him get a scholarship. Paris crashes her Moms Escalade. To fix the damage will cost $1,500. Alvin has the money and he offers to pay for the parts needed if she will be his girlfriend to help him get popular.
Alvin's father (Steve Harvey) is stuck in the 70's. He loved himself some Al Green, and the plastic covered furniture brought back some memories!!! I never heard of a school having a popular hallway before. That was very unusual to me.
Paris helps Alvin change his image buy changing his hair and helping him pick out new clothing. "Urkel has gone gangster", when his younger sister seems him walk into the house all transformed.
Alvin is so into his new popular friends his old buddies feel left out and turn away from him. Alvin enjoys being popular but to Paris being popular is nothing but work. Paris finds herself liking Alving to her surprise. She can talk to him, and he understands her wanting to have a "normal life" and he finds the fact that she can write poetry and play guitar interesting while her friends feel she should focus on eventually marrying her rich NBA playa boyfriend.
Turns out popularity comes with a price. As different as Paris and Alvin were, turned out they were the same. Trying to be something they were not. You get that much from watching the film.
My one problem with the movie was the scene where father does the right of passage with the condoms. Telling Alvin his main goal should be scratching the kitty kat really annoyed me. On one hand I was glad he had the safe sex talk, but we all know if the tables had been turned and his daughter was about to go on a date he would have been installing "kitty kat" devices to keep the boys away!!!! He did not need to be telling his son about motions in the ocean!!!
Aside of that I did enjoy the film. The nerdy guy gets the popular girl. It's worth a watch.

Summary: They actually make movies like this
Review: The only thing I appreciated about this movie is that I watched it for free on DVD, and I still feel that I paid too much. This movie amounts to mindless dribble that makes you feel dumber than you were before you watched it.
I think you would be hard-pressed to find any "unpopular" (whatever that is) teenage male in high school who would be willing to pay a girl $1500 to pretend to be his girlfriend for two weeks so he could be popular. That is plain ignorant.
The story was unbelievable, the acting was below par. I didn't see any redeeming values of this movie. All it does is once again portray young teenage blacks as vain, shallow, overly sexed hedonists. Even I can appreciate a movie where the dialect is "from the streets", but even the so-called hip-hop dialect used in this movie is grossly over-exaggerated.
This was a horrible movie and not worth the time it takes to watch it.

Summary: First of all this was an 80s remake stupido!!
Review: The previous viewer who claims this was movie portrays blacks as as vain, shallow, overly sexed hedonists, must not know that this is almost an exact replica of the 1980s version that had a different name. Duh!! That version featured all white people doing the same thing that the black version copied from them in the new version. Duh!! As a matter fact this can't even be considered a black movie just because the actors are black. This is a high school movie. No particular demographic intended .I liked it. Yes it had a few corny parts, but it was the corny that made you laugh. Nick Cannon, Keenan (Fat Albert), Steve Harvey, Christina Milian (Super Sexy-Gorgeous in the film by the way) Vanessa Bell Calloway(Oh Drama-BET), the guy from Harold and Kumar go to White Castle, etc. etc. The chemistry that everyone has in this movie is fanatical. Keenan is hilarious. I used to think he was very cheesy. He is very funny in this film. Steve Harvey does one Heck of a job playing a role (not in a suit) that is unfamiliar. He even got a little teary-eyed in one scene. The movie was great. If u look passed all the wacky parts (which were actually kinda funny) you will find this movie pretty fun and entertaining. Also it has a wonderful message that is almost heart-warming One of those good, old high school memory, nice guy gets the girl joints. It even might go in my top ten or twenty list

Summary: Beware Drumline fans although its mildly entertaining
Review: This film gets a mixed review at best from me. I check out films like this with my goddaughter who is 11. I loved Drumline and thought Cannon was pretty good in it. I believe he does some cable stuff on TV and I thought that I would be okay taking an 11 year old to this movie.The film has a good message and predictably marches along its path. Nick Cannon's transformation is kind of abrupt. From Poolboy to trendsetter the events that transformed him seemed kind of abrupt. The big deal for me was there was an ongoing condom theme in the flick that caught me off guard. I don't think it was in the promos and I felt somewhat misled. I would not advise any parents to let their young kids watch this movie unless kids understand what condoms are and I wouldn't watch this with your kids unless you are prepared to have that discussion. I have mixed feelings about that being a major joke in a PG-13 movie. On the one hand, I think adult themes should go under the radar and not be easily understood by kids or have questionable language. On the other hand there are far too many PG-13 movies that have borderline explicit sexuality without addressing safe sex. I don't know whether I should be thankful to this movie for catalyzing that discussion or angry at it for sneaking it under the radar. Outside of that, I was mildly entertained in a predictable flick. The themes were positive and there are good messages about friendship and the dangers of popularity for teenagers. I believe there are better urban flicks out there for the 9-13 age bracket and I'll be on the lookout for them. This probably a good flick for teenagers in high school. 2.5 stars
