the acting was at best novice

Rating: 3/10 (24 May 2006)

the only reason why this movie was not rated 1 is because of Jessica Alba. I'll be fair and say that the only reason why i watched this movie is because Ms. Alba has Hollywood's sexiest body, and I thought I couldn't miss this film, regardless of how bad this movie is... WRONG!!!
but... in all fairness, i give it a 3 because Ms. Alba is the sole reason for picking up this movie.
But... twenty minutes into this movie, I quit watching. It was a terrible waste of time, I think Jessica is drop dead gorgeous but even then she doesn't save this film from blowing so much.
first, let me just start off by saying that this film lacked a plot. its plot was too predictable and a no brainer. second, the acting... i'm sorry but even a 10 minute skit by seventh graders is more believable. After watching this movie, Saw's acting seemed a lot more credible, in fact, dare I say, compared to this movie, Saw was Oscar-caliber.
it's a pity that jessica can't act, maybe she should switch over to being a model, as she fits perfectly.
all in all, this movie is mainly for kids who still dream big, i for one don't dream big anymore so don't really care for this. and it's also for those who love hip hop and dancing, which i figure i'm too old for. if you aren't any of the above, watching this is going to be a complete waste of time. and also, if you're none of the above, seriously, DO NOT watch it if you've got nothing else to do, that's how bad this is.
