That was an excellent one.

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

B*A*P*S The reason there are no black monarchs in America is colonists hated British rule as much as black emancipation.However, the Black American Princesses in this comedy come close.Nisi (Halle Berry) and Mickey (Natalie Desselle-Reid) head to LA to raise capital for a soul-food hair salon in Atlanta.While unsuccessful at sudden stardom, Nisi lands a gig as the lost love of an ailing millionaire (Martin Landau).Eventually the ostentation twosome rub elbows with the elite and introduce them to their brash urban branding.All the while becoming the unknowing accomplishes to a plan to extort their sugar-granddaddy of his millions. A cultural misstep, this lowbrow lampoon of black/white relations may feature some first-rate funnymen (Bernie Mac, Rudy Ray Moore, Faizon Love) but its depiction of both races is offensively unfunny.Besides, neighbours would be calling the cops every time they saw B*A*P*s entering the old man's mansion.Red Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.ca

This movie sucked! The plot is ridiculous, Natalie Desselle is a loudmouth whose talents become nil when she isn't yelling or doing overly exaggerated gestures. Everyone has that one mistake in her professional life that she would love to forget about and this is Halle's.Halle plays a good toothed gold digger with dollar signs in her eyes and the voice of her equally greedy cohort in her ear. They come into contact with a rich white man and put into a scam to get his greenbacks. They move in with this man and pretend to be related to him when he is found to be terminally ill.

Spoilers herein.Projects like this start with the notion of self-parody. You create funny characters that carry a funny world with them. Townsend does a good job at this, with the mannerisms so over the top you are aware of the actresses at every moment. TeeVee skits can work on this alone with no story. But you need a story to sell a movie.Here we have a pretty lame execution on the story.The interesting thing here is seeing Halle Berry before fame and Oscar. She's not really an actress with a lot of tools. Instead, she wears just a few attitudes. The same few here are all that were available in `Monster's Ball,' but they are much more apt here - that's because the idea is to make fun of people who act life roles badly. Naturally, they lose all the trashy affect by the end of the movie all they way to disappearing gold teeth. Just so we know they were only fooling.Despite this, Landau has a pretty masterful death scene. Ian Richardson. Real acting here.Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.

The movie manages to insult just about everyone. What's really astonishing is how it manages to make black people look dumb, tacky and annoying. Truly a movie to be avoided like the plague.
