Please don't spend money on this.

Let's be realistic.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

A Masterpiece!

Well, I'm a huge fan of Beyonce Knowles; but, omg; this is Cop Rock just a few years later. Studied classic voice for 8 years, and was not expecting that type of quality; but, the situations where each character breaks into "song", is embarrassing. It's much like the feeling I had when as a college student I watched Steven Bochco's COP ROCK; but this is worse; did this even get an airing on broadcast TV? Poor Beyonce; Thank God she redeemed her self somewhat in "Dreamgirls." one star for trying to being creative; Beyonce is very hot in this; even for a gay guy, I find her exuding natural sexuality more than most of the vanilla, white anorexic actresses today. I hope she didn't put this on her resume'.

This movie is great. I don't know what you're complaining about. the plot is great for a modern day version of the fantastic opera "Carmen", and I can't think of anyone else but Beyonce to play the role of Carmen Brown. The person who wrote all these great rap\hip hop songs is a very gifted artist, because that was the best part of the movie. Although the plot was a bit stupid, I mean, some few little things but I don't think they're that important, the movie itself proved to be very enjoyable and interesting. Why is it, that so many famous actors and performers agreed to appear in this movie? because it's a very good movie. I wish it would of gotten a bit more sympathy and publicity. Beyonce rules in the movie, and she's got a very unique voice.

Poorly acted, unconvincing "modern" adaption of Bizet's classic opera. Saddled with a two-dollar production look and a cast of (with the exception of Phifer) unprofessional actors. One fairly interesting bit is a few parts which actually set Bizet's music to raps, which only works intermittently. Inferior to both the original and Oscar Hammerstein's similarly overblown 1950s adaption (filmed, if I remember right, memorably by Otto Preminger). All fans of musicals should avoid it, even though it holds out the promise of being a new type of musical. All fans of hip hop should avoid it, because it forces a cast that is incredibly talented in musical areas to act with hokey dialogue and no direction. It should especially be taken on for taking Mos Def, a genius of lyrics, and making him rap to mediocre lines written by some bozo the clown. Townsend should really be taken to the cleaners over this, and in the future he should probably be advised to look the other way when offered TV productions with a look like my mama's basement (and she hasn't got one, folks).�

This movie made me howl with laughter because it was so bad. Bad acting, especially by 'Bouncy' Knowles, bad editing and horrible looking blue screen work. None of the songs were memorable and the 'film' looked like a overlong music video. Robert Townsend did great with Hollywood Shuffle and has gone downhill ever since....give up Robert!
