I love this movie so much

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

"In the mix" combines two clashing stereotypes, Italian Mafia, and black hip-hoppers in what I believe is an attempt to be original, the result however is idiotic. Furthermore the director seems unsure about what type of film he is making, it's part romantic comedy, part Mafia thriller and a small part musician with big dreams. Bundeld together with the Mafia-hip-hop premise you get a film that is utterly ridiculous. Now, I could go on about the general silliness in just about every scene, I actually have timed notes detailing all of it. I could talk about the lackluster performance or the many thrown away plot threads but all of this would be superfluous, the words "Mafia - hip-hop rom-com thriller" should tell you all you need to know.

Why on earth do people think this movie is racist? I found the interracial relations between Italians and Blacks very satisfying. But this is a comedy after all, it's not destined to portray anyone in a negative way. People are people, that's the end of it! Also, people want to blame Usher for his acting talents. I think it's wrong. Usher may not have the same beautiful talent for his music as for his acting, but he definitely CAN act. You should see his performance in the film "Light It Up" with Rosario Dawson. He also performed on Broadway in the hit musical "Chicago". So don't be too hard on him for this "abomination" you call it, that he stared as the leading role.I got so exited when I first saw the trailer, I couldn't wait to see it. Since I don't live in the States, I got the DVD while I was on holiday in New York, and this film always reminds me of the beloved city. Overall I voted ten stars for this film and hope that other people agree with me. Ciao!

If you are even thinking about watching this awful excuse for a movie, please don't. You will be mad that you wasted your time on this garbage. Plot is ridiculous. The acting is horrible. The writing is cliché. Usher needs to stick with his singing career. There should be restrictions on what can be passed off as a mob movie. I feel sorry for anyone who wasted their time and money on this. I have a better idea for a title, how about, "in the dumpster"? OK, IMDb guidelines state I have to write ten lines. I am starting to feel like the people who must have written this movie. I can fill it with empty mindless dialogue. The best part of this movie was when it ended.

This is Usher's breakout performance in what was 2005's best film and Hollywoods best film ever created in the City of Angels. I must say I walked into this thinking it was going to be stupid, lame, and dull, however, I walked out of the theater with my jaw dropped and said "This film is a MASTERPIECE!" I immediately bought tickets of the next day (all five showings they had) and sadly I was the only person in the audience, but I am the only one I suppose in my respected area that appreciates fine cinema. Usher was robbed of an academy award nomination for his breathtaking role as a bodyguard who learns to love this girl he is protecting. Shes more than just a mafia princess, shes glamorous and with usher by her side, it feels like I'm watching James Dean and Natatlie Wood in "Rebel without a Cause" all over again! Kudos to the directing as it should'vie gotten a DGA nod for its poetic movement. This film moved me. I went out and bought the soundtrack, and the t-shirt and joined the online "In the Mix" fan club. Two thumbs up can't do this film half the justice it deserves. I think it would take everyones thumb in India to be up to do this film justice on just how wonderful it truly was. I have seen this film over 90 times in the theaters and immediately bought it when it came out on DVD. I watched it every night before I go to bed. Wow...I cannot explain how truly great this film is. It was as if God touched the Hollywood corp. in some ways saying "This is the new Citizen Kane". This film should be remembered in years to come and will probably by my guess be studied in film schools all around the United States. I'm all for it. If there was a film school that would teach it, I would go either way because no one knows more about this film...I'm sorry, I mean MASTERPIECE than I do. I must say "Crash" "Brokeback Mountain" "Munich" "Capote" and "Good Night, and Good Luck" were fantastic films, but they don't even come near "In the Mix". It's not touchable. Even Orson Welles would be bowing down to this masterpiece, thats how great of a film this truly is. I'm starting a petition trying to get as many signatures as possible to sign for putting "In the Mix" back in the theaters. So far I'vie got one....I don't understand why people are hating this movie so much, I think its quite possibly the best film ever made. Hopefully people will come around and see that Usher is the new Marlon Brando, or James Dean, or Johnny Depp...Hey, Depp ain't got nothing on Usher! Masterpiece!
