SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
MClfe OK this movie revolves around Sorvino- starts out really, really slow. Shes an ex-med student that is looking to start over and decides to move in with gma and get a watering job at a Italian restaurant. There she meets two other waitress (Carey and Walters) but, soon realizes that not only food is on the menu. You may also get your fix on drugs and even some murder :) From there it shows her inside struggles knowing what shes dealing with and what she should do about it. This movie is really great. This definitely proves that Mariah Carey can hold down a role- maybe not a headlining role but she can definitely act. The worse acting comes from Walters who shows no emotion in her face when she says anything.. Surprising that Carey can pull off acting over Walters who has been in th game for many years. Definitely try this movie out- its even worth the purchase. You wont be disappointed.
Nessa - I think Mariah Carey's performance this this movie was just OUTSTANDING... I'm very pleased, and would like everyone to know Mariah is becoming such a lovely actress :) this is a TOP movie for those who cry during movies, please caution on watching around children due to profane words. :) Overall this movies is one of my favorites, and i'm sure it will be one of yours. Before watching this movie I had high exceptations, and I wasn't disappointed. If your bored, and have nothing to do. I highly recommend that you go out and buy this movie, trust me it is guaranteed to leave you in tears:) I am a huge Mariah fan and in this movie. Mariah proves that she has the brains, beauty, and talent. This was an outstanding movie great effects, and great graphics.
arturo_smallcharm There is a girl named Meg (Mira Sorvino) who decided to let behind her painful past, now she left her home in Missomi to be able to get a job as a waitress of a weird "familiar" restaurant in Stalen Island, New York who became in a dangerous place that belongs only to the mafia. Certain day, Meg being a good nurse, by accident save a man who shoot himself in his own nose. That leads with Meg being accepted and protected by the mafia, more specifically by Mr. Santalino (Arthur J. Nascarella). However so soon Mr. Santalino's admiration to Meg leaves troubles to Meg and company, Raychel (Mariah Carey) and Kate (Melora Walters) "This last hides a perfect secret".They will know that handle the mafia is not that big deal instead the survival fight it is. Don't miss it!
mahajanssen I was advised by my video store clerk how really bad this movie was but I persisted especially after reading some of the user comments here. The plot, though predictable, is well played. It starts off slow and after a while, you feel like it's not really getting anywhere but things start turning just as when you least expect it. But guys be warned - it's a chick flick so you might not have the patience for it.You guys are right - Mariah is pretty decent here but I don't think she had to stretch too much. She's basically playing herself but she's doing it smart; you know, playing familiar characters before venturing into the unknown. I just wish she'd cover up a bit more. She looks like a striptent reject!Mira Sorvino is the light of this movie. She seemed to have disappeared after getting an Oscar but I don't think the movie executives are too pleased with her movie role choices coz I don't hear about her anymore. Anyways, she did good here and if she keeps this up, she'll get another Oscar. I just don't understand why she's not getting all the hoo-haa. She's got the looks and the talent for it.
