Pluskylang Great Film overall

Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

James Rothwell I didn't even bother watching it through to the end it was just too poor to continue. Even putting aside the fact that clearly I'm not their target audience for this movie it is blatantly apparent that this is budget garbage.There are people on YouTube making shorts that are 50 times the movie this is.The script is awful and just feels like the dialogue never actually matches the character the actors are trying to portray. Noticed a few weirdly framed shots that didn't make sense as to why they did them like that, the acting from most of the cast was comical like everything was done on a first take 30 seconds after reading their lines for the first time.Eye scrapping bad movie that even Saddam wouldn't make his dissidents watch.Redeeming feature, the girl that plays the daughter is extremely cute and good looking.

Newsense Entertainers are always trying to succeed in other areas other than the one they are known for(like rappers trying to be actors or actors trying to be singers etc) but very few have made it successfully in other endeavors other than the one they are known for succeeding in. Usher is the next person to make this mistake in this disastrous bore called In The Mix.The story: Darryl(Usher) is a local DJ that saves the life of a mobster called Frank(Chazz Palminteri). He save Frank's daughter Dolly(Emmanuelle Chriqui) also ends up falling for her. Frank disapproves, stops them from seeing each other and later on Darryl stumbles on to a plan by one of Frank's henchmen to betray Frank.I wholehearted disagree that the only thing that sucked about this movie is Usher's acting. The whole cast sucked right along with Usher. Chazz Palminteri phones it in and Emmanuelle Chriqui is so wooden all she's missing is the woodpecker. The love scene with her and Usher is so heavy-handed and laughable that I broke out into hysterical laughter immediately. These two have zero chemistry together and as a matter of fact, Morticia and Gomez of the Addams Family has more chemistry than these two. The plot was corny and it seemed like something somebody came up with on the spot. Plus if I see another wegro in these movies I'm gonna scream! Usher can sing but he sure cant act and it shows. He looks like he's playing himself the way he delivers his lines and the action scenes suck. Nothing about this movie is redeemable and I mean nothing! Even if you a lover of bad films(like myself)I suggest you try something else. This is not even bad enough to make fun of. Its a boring mess that plops itself on the screen and dies there. On a positive note this movie is perfect for insomniacs because it's literally visual Nyquil. If In The Mix was a record it would clear every dance floor from coast to coast.

itz_just_aaron Hey. This is a review by a 15 year old teen. And this is what I thought after seeing the poster.I was really excited to see this movie!! I first saw the trailer back when it was in theaters. Usher plays Darrell, who is a DJ that becomes a bodyguard for mob daughter Dolly. It was pretty interesting: hip hop beats, "girls & guy candy" for all teenagers, plus protecting a mob boss's daughter. I thought this was gonna a hit action/comedy/romance. Like with great action scenes. .Months later I rent this DVD. The beginning is alright with songs that, us, teenagers recognize (like Usher's "My Boo") but I thought it was running too long. A bit of comedy in the first 30 minutes, but the brother pretending to be black was not funny at all. And 2 action scenes within an hour(well not action scenes per se... but a less than 30 seconds each of a gunshot and a car not braking on a pedestrian stop).Soon the rest is just cheesy romantic stuff, that probably only fans of the cast would sit through. Yeah, the swimming was the only thing working for me. I even skipped a chapter and it was another lets-be-flirty-in-a-different-location scene. The last action scene was the ending. I thought it was average - not good not bad, but could've done better. It included comedy too. (The dog was cute) But I disliked how the bad guy -------. It was dull. Especially the "One Year Later." Omg.Don't watch this if you want an action comedy movie. Watch it if you want a romance without the on-screen chemistry.

Kristine And that's pretty sad, because I've seen a bunch of horrible movies, but this one is in a class of it's own. Now, I'm going to be honest, I wanted to see this film when it was first released in the theaters. It looked kinda like a fun movie, but I decided to wait until it was for rent. I knew this movie had a bad rating on IMDb, but I figured it was just because Usher was one of the biggest stars at the time and people were just trying to trash him. Boy, I apologize for doubting the views of the IMDb users.First off, what was the screenwriter on when he wrote this? Or was he simply reading "Screenwriting for dummies"? What the hell does he or the director take me for?! I grew up in friggin' little Italy/Chicago! I'm not stupid. Now, not to sound horrible, but this movie was totally inaccurate on how a mafia boss would let an African American watch his daughter. Never would happen in a million years. Not to mention the horrible stereo types in this film! It was horrible. The two lovers had no chemistry and the plot was.... ahh! Just never see this movie ever ever ever! 1/10
