I love this movie so much

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Blistering performances.

Overlooked sleeper that for some reason failed to get a theatrical release. Go figure. With so many awful stuff making it to the big screen, this one slipped through and got the bum's rush to cable and video.Remarkable performances by the female leads propel this under appreciated underworld movie that uses a balance of camaraderie and crime to give us an entertaining affair with some touching turns and violent vignettes.The bar scene that sets things in motion is a nod to Goodfellas (1990) and that said the Goodfellas here are pretty much out of central casting and the "twist" ending has been used many times but this film is better then most low budget mob movies.

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.

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!

Wisegirls was such an awesome movie!! I love Mariah and although her acting can never compare to her singing, she was amazing in this movie, especially when compared to her acting in Glitter. Hopefully Mariah will act this good or better in the next movie she films, which should be Sweet Science. I loved the movie because it had a lot of action and suspense. Anybody who likes suspense, drama and action should see this movie. I showed this movie to one of my friends and she loved it. I asked her about Mariah, since I'm a huge fan, and she said that she was really good in the movie. She went out the next day, rented the movie and showed it to her parents because she thought it was that awesome. Anybody who thinks Mariah can't act should see this movie.
