Worst picture I have ever seen in my life. These aren't ladies these are embarressing caracitures. Anyone who enjoyed this heep DO NOT be my friend.
Bad movie, but there's a scene near the end where I was laughing so hard I had tears coming out of my eyes.
Ghetto-fabulous is not IN. I give 1.5 stars because it stimulated the economy by providing jobs. I've come to expect something better from Robert Townsend. But on the other hand I think it was meant to be a satiracle depiction. So perhaps I'll give him 2 stars for effort.
I watched 20 minutes of this and had to turn it off out of fear I would turn into a walking vegetable.
4 a.m., TBS, and it was this or From Justin to Kelly. I'm not sure what the right call would have been.
COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY JUST A LAME ASS MOVIE!!! I"M EMBARRASSED TO SAY I ACTUALLY SAW IT IN THE THEATRE!!! GAH!
It's an alright movie. Nothing to gloat about. I like how the "Black American Princesses" overcame obstacles and went after their dreams.
Ghetto fab! It takes all kinds and these two prove it. Love the way both sides of the track were able to mix and mingle and learn from each other. The haves and the have nots come together and tells the rest of America to kiss it!
This movie was so funny to me. It was over the top but it was still good to see Halle Berry do something different.
Formulaic and distastefully fake, Townsend's modern fairy tale unsuccessfuly tries to combine the premise of Pretty Woman with the formats of the fish-out-of-water and culture-collision. Full Review
Paying movie-goers deserve more, especially from someone who has previously shown signs of genuine comic aptitude. Full Review
It's good for a half-hour of humor before the fun starts to dissolve. Full Review
Jaw-droppingly bad, a movie so misconceived I wonder why anyone involved wanted to make it. Full Review
It's the kind of movie they don't make anymore -- and when they did, it was at the bottom of the bill after onscreen ads for local merchants.
They both do good work, but it's Desselle who steals the film and grabs the major laughs. Full Review
You can see how the black, modern-day Pygmalion-type story could work, just, but not with this heap of cabbage leaves for a script, and not with such desperately goofy acting from Berry and Desselle. Full Review
