Summary: Not that bad!
Review: This is a modern day remake of "Can't Buy Me Love".Obviously you shouldn't go in expecting Oscar caliber performances...but I can say that the movie wasn't that bad! It had some moments,every scene Steve Harvey was in,was hilarious! If you are of the younger crowd you will enjoy the movie,just kick back and relax,take it for what it is...a funny,highschool flick.The soundtrack for the film was pretty good as well if you are into hip hip.

Summary: Worth the money! A Good Remake of Can't Buy Me Love.
Review: This is based on the screenplay, Can't Buy Me Love, from 1987. Almost 17 years later, set in 2003 the story holds up and this film is true to the messages on loyalty, friendship and the price of popularity. This movie is funny, charming, and sweet without being corny. Nick Cannon is great as the lead character: An outsider/nerd looking to belong to the in crowd. He is a natural actor and is sure to have a great career in the future. Christina Milian as the female lead is more than just a pretty face, she brings a surprising depth to her character. She shows us an introspective and vulnerable person underneath her popular cheerleader exterior. It is her sweet side that will make Christina a major star. It is very satisfying and funny. Both the original and the remake have a lot of appeal and are worth seeing.

Summary: When you remake trash it still stinks
Review: This movie has the exact same sexist plot as the original, with a diverse cast and even grosser jokes used to "modernize" it. This is yet another teen movie in which the only female characters are the "hot girls" whom both the cool, popular guys & the smart outcast nerds lust after. The girls are represented as complete objects (whose body parts the cameras often focus on) who sluttily throw themselves at their friends' guys or the hero of the moment, and like to be treated like crap by said guys. The two adult women in the movie are a vapid mom and a kind yet rich mom who gets her breasts fondled by a teenage boy "on accident." The father figure, a harmful stereotype of black men who only cares about "getting it on" and thrives on food stamps, encourages his intelligent son to concentrate his energy on "playing" said women. He tells his son his main goal should be "scratching that kitty-kat." To add to the misogyny, Christina Milian, a charming combination of Raven, Lark Voorhies, and Beverly Mitchell, plays a character who stupidly remains faithful to her NBA player boyfriend who is obviously cheating on her, because her friends say he is her "meal ticket." One would hope that the movie would at least attempt to expose the hypocrisy and sexism in the shallow high school world it creates, but it makes no such attempts with its ending - the lead female character tries to explain her dreams and goals to Nick Cannon's character, Alvin, only to be shut up with an invasive kiss. It is ironic that Cannon plays the lead in a movie which in the end *claims* to value smarts over popularity (at least for boys), when his persona as an entertainer seems to be quite shallow indeed. And who knows why a woman wrote and directed this piece of work!

Summary: Boring and Stupid
Review: This movie looked good, since Nick Cannon was in it, from Drumline. However, after watching it, I felt I had wasted the time on it. It was too contrived, used too much slang, and just unbelievable. The chemistry between the actors was good, but that was it. I think the people in the movie, especially Steve Harvey, needed a paycheck. Otherwise, they would have stayed away from this drivel. I mean, the Hope Chest just perpetuated the stereotype of oversexed teens, and there was no evidence of proper parenting in the movie.
I'm just glad it was borrowed from the library.

Summary: Slow Start, Big Finish!
Review: This movie started out slow, but it managed to pull it all together in the end.
This is another high school flick making an attempt at uncovering the uselessness of trying to be someone you're not. Alvin Johnson has never quite fit in; he has a nerd-crew he hangs with, but it is his dream to get close the elitist of the elite, Paris Morgan (played by Christina Milian). When Paris wrecks her Mom's car, the mechanically inclined Alvin takes advantage of the situation, offering to fix Paris's car and pay for the parts. The only catch, Paris has to hang with Alvin for two weeks. Well, he wanted a month, but they settled for the two weeks. After all, he is kind of a geek! Alvin and Paris end up becoming friends and she tries to change his image, and this is where the movie gets really good. Christina Milian is an excellent actress; she manages to make the scenes in this predictable sequence (her finding him clothes and a new hairstyle) work really well. She doesn't over act at all, and this makes the movie a breath of fresh air. There is a great scene in this film, one that should become a classic: Alvin and Paris are talking to each other (really listening too) and Alvin mentions that he almost had a college scholarship because of his mechanical abilities, but he wasn't able to get the final part for their automobile engine. When Paris presses him for more information, she learns that he used all of his money (that was supposed to be for the part) to fix her car, she truly begins to care for him, seeing the side of him she has ignored. As I have said, this movie starts out slow but finishes strong. I liked it a lot. Christina Milian is one of the most beautiful girls on the screen right now. She is also a great actress (LOL, you're not going to believe this - I had never even heard of her before this movie!...told ya you wouldn't believe it). Now, is this movie for younger kids? Nope, not unless you want your kids to see a Dad explaining to his teenage son how to put a condom on and score with the ladies. Sixteen and up, only, in my opinion. Enjoy the show.
See ya next review.
