Get Real!

Rating: Null/10 (9 July 2002)

Dull artist loses her even duller husband in some type of N.Y. street violence. African-American woman is out to con the widow out of her money by pretending to be a channeler of the dead.
About the only thing mildly interesting in this quasi-bit of celluloid entertainment is Goldberg's Oscar winning supporting role as a pretend psychic who turns out to be a latent psychic.
There's nothing worse than a romance, trying to become a comedy, trying to become a horror story. The lead actors (Swayze and Moore) are still as dislikable as they are in previous and subsequent films (I mean, who really saw Swayze in anything other than 'Dirty Dancing,' and what drugs was Moore taking when she agreed to appear in 'G.I. Jane and 'Striptease?').
Not even the 'oh, my darlin' love theme (still beautiful, but I forget who sang/composed it) could save this unintentional nightmare from making me want to hurl. Watch this one with 'Ghostbusters' as a double feature on 'Mystery Science Theater 3000.'
