... View MoreMobster Frank hires DJ Darrell to man the turntables at a party for his daughter Dolly. At the event, some rival mobsters pull guns on frank, and Darrell steps in to save his life. Frank then gives the DJ a job as his daughter's bodyguard, but, to the mobster's dismay, Dolly starts to fall for the smooth-talker. Their romance is interrupted when Frank gets involved in a mob war and drags Darrell along with him....I have heard some horrible things about this film, and although it is pretty bad on many levels, it certainly doesn't deserve it's 2.9 rating on IMDb.It's obviously a potential film career starter for the singer, whom showed a little promise in The Faculty, and She's All That, but here, he looks lost, and it's a big thing considering that he can command a stage in front of thousands of fans, the man has no screen presence in this.As a supposed comedy, it's devoid of any laughs, and I for one, could not find any jokes in the film that were even supposed to be classed as comedy.Kevin Hart has a supporting role, but he looks and acts like he got his motivation from the Chris Tucker school of screeching.But the real reason to watch this is the fact that we have these seasoned actors in some of the worthless roles I have ever seen. Palminteri is doing nothing more than playing a stereotypical mobster, Davi turns up out of the blue in various scenes, and every ones favourite smoker, Nick Mancuso does exactly the same.But it's surprisingly watchable, for the inane script, the hilarious incoherence, and the overwhelmingly cheesy ending.See it, tell no one that you have, and then erm...Fhuggedaboudid...
... View MoreOddly the worst thing about this movie wasn't Usher's acting. It might have been that this entire film is one giant ego trip on the self adoration train and sadly their are many many stops. We are forced to watch as Ushers character Daryll is painfully irresistible to the opposite sex and the movie piece by broken piece dismantles Dolly's seemingly strong relationship with her fiancé Chad and then carefully constructs a new relationship with Usher. At no point did I think of the main character as anyone but Usher. He played himself in a world were he lives out his Italian crime sex fantasy. This film is 911 disaster porno bad. 95 minutes of vanity peppered with the most annoying character in the history of cinema, Frankie Junior. I begged for mercy every time he made any kind of contribution to the story. Strangely Kevin Hart was good. A shining beacon in a sea of feces.
... View MoreIf 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.
... View MoreIn The Mix is about a DJ (Usher) who does a gig for some old time family friends who just happen to be Italian mafia. Usher saves the life of the patriarch and is given the job of being body guard to his childhood friend and the daughter of the mafia boss Dolly (Chriqui - stunning) who he subsequently falls for and she he. The boss fights the idea and almost intrduces the DJ to some harp music. The DJ then saves the boss and his daughters life again for the save. With a super strong cast, the acting is tremendous and very natural, all the good old boys are there. The dialog is relatively fresh as it successfully merges diverse cultures. This is one that could be watched several times each year.
