In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Wow! Who would have thought that a movie with Gwenyth Paltro or Mira Sorvino (whatever her name is!) in it would have been overshadowed by the powerful acting performance of Mariah Carey! Seeing Mira's nice ones hang out of her low cut black dress was definitely the low point in the film! The high point was most definitely brilliant acting from Mariah! How about the scene where the guy shoots his nose off, and Mariah's reaction to it. The scene called for someone to be shocked or horrified or disgusted that they had to plug up the nose holes on the man's blood soaked face - most actors certainly would have played it that way. But not Mariah! She had the foresight to giggle throughout such a dramatic scene.And of course the shoot-out between the wise guys and the feds is classic. So true to life! I mean, wise guys lawyers can never get them off from such serious legal charges. So of course a shoot-out with a much better armed fed/swat forces was the best course of action! Bravo story writer! All in all, one of the best films I have seen in recent years. Absolutely stunning acting from Mariah and a very believable story and ending adds to this great masterpiece. All involved should be truly proud! Mira -you should wear dresses like that more often!

I think this film was cute, it kept me watching throughout, not just because it was filmed here, but it was a good film, my wife is the critical one, and she enjoyed it. Chick Flick maybe.. but all in all its worth a watch or two..

Mira Sorvino is wonderful as usual but the movie itself is an interesting environment for Mariah Carey the actress. Mariah owns the part of Raychel. She has excellent stage presence and great character dynamics. Carey was wonderful to watch. I'm looking forward to seeing her in an appropriate role again.Carey got a bad rap with Glitter. It was a terrible movie but it would have been terrible no matter who played the part of Billie Frank.If you are looking for an alternative to a night of the Sopranos give Wisegirls a view.
