Predictable Hollywood Rubbish

Rating: 2/10 (24 September 2004)

How many times have I seen movies like this? The plot twists can be seen from miles away,hell from San Francisco if you are in New York!
I have always wondered how much an audience can take for this crap,it hasn't got any surprises. The acting is very bad,especially by Julia Stiles.The music is,well,it's popular.Not that I don't mind that but they could have also put in some real heavy songs.
The blacks are so typical in this movie that it's uncanny.There is of course the black woman with a child she didn't really want,there's the "good" black guy who will make it in the future(woo,maybe he was escaped from the "Cosby Show") and there is of course your typical black "victim",the so called gangsta bro Malakai.I can't stop thinking why the black community in the USA don't stand up against this bad exploitation of black people in America.
I'm not sure if it was the director's idea but Julia Stiles plays a real wench of a girl.There's no way you can get sympathy for this woman,even if she lost her mother.Them dance moves are not bad,but it's not Stiles who's doing the moves.Every time a dance moment occurs the camera only shows her feet(waaah,that's a very cheap way to do it).
Well,that's about it.Just a 13 in a dozen movie with absolutely nothing in it,better skip it than watch it. 2/10
