Excellent, a Must See

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Let's say it right off: "Getting Played" is simply near-pitch-perfect. It blends heartfelt comedy and pulse-quickening sexiness so seamlessly that, at its end, one is left gasping with satisfaction. All the crucial components of this cinematic pleasure come together dazzlingly well. Vivica A. Fox--to her great credit reigning in her usually-annoying sistah-from-the-'hood mannerisms--Carmen Electra, and Stacey Dash are fiercely charming and fiercely sexy as the trio of L. A. she-babes who make a bet that they can seduce and conquer any man with the greatest of ease. Bill Bellamy is effortlessly manly and immediately likable as the man in question (who turns out to have a trick or two up his own sleeve). While there's a absolutely dreadful scene where Fox's character and her white agent--the former plays an actress in the flick--engage in fully garish "street" yammering, it's balanced out by this uber-spicy scene between Fox and this sexy, smiling, shirtless, oh-so-built black dude. Really and truly, "Getting Played" stands with "Boomerang" as being the sexiest, most engaging, most altogether professionally-made black film ever.

i felt like watching a comedy, and i already knew what to expect of vivica))i was not disappointed. in all her roles to date she is very expressive on screen, sometimes in a wacky way, but always very entertaining. for any fans of her like myself you will NOT be disappointed. i can not believe this woman is way over 40 years old! same goes for Stacey Dash( if seen the recent movie "i could never been your woman", she has a high school teenager role and plays besides Michelle Pfeiffer which herself looks great at 40+, but still Stacey is jaw-breaking for ANY age). i can easily see how their looks and ATTITUdES here could get some women jealous of them))), but looks aside, Vivica A. Fox has always proved an actress that gets in her role well or very well( sometimes "over the top" but for a comedy that is expected and wishful at times). to sum it up here, she is so "entretainingly annoying".)) from the middle part to the end i was off the chair laughing.))))also the comedian Sheryl Underwood has a 5 minutes cameo as a stand up comedian, very funny.OK, enough about her for now. this production has some clichés( less then expected for me, and the "feminist" issues do HAVE TWSISTS that should please everyone, or at least not annoy )( also a couple of remarks for "desired" people that have to "be" wealthy, yucksss). the only problem i found here is Bill Bellamy. i do not think he can act( or maybe is my perception of him because he getting jiggly with "my" sexy, big eyes Vivica A. Fox????hehehehe).anyhow if his character would have had been played by Jamie Foxx this might have been better then "booty call",yet another movie that has the score UNDER 5, and on which matter i can not see or understand why...they are both very as comedies based on situations and HILARIOUS at that as well.also the title, for a change makes perfect sense.i give it 8 star because , as i said, i got what i was looking for and MORE.if i wanted to watch a thriller obviously this would have got 1 star, you get my drift.))recommended for young "wacky" couples that want to have some "jelousy " pillow fights.

This move had potential, but didn't quite make the grade. I was hopeful when I read the cover of the DVD case. But, unfortunately, the directing was kinda bad. Some scenes had nothing to do with the movie at all and was a waste of time to even include. Such as the Joe Torry part. Maybe Joe simply wanted a more prominent part so they threw him a bone. But in doing so, it messed up the flow of the movie. Not that the flow was all that great before. I really hate to see a potentially good movie go to crap simply because of mistakes like bad editing and directing. I really feel this movie could've been good, otherwise. Instead, it ends up being so-so.

Vivica A. Fox plays Andrea Collins an actress who thinks she is more famous and beautiful than she really is, and in short she thinks the world revolves around her. She is sleeping with one of her best friend's men when we meet her but before long, she flashes an incident (to her agent) where she caught her own boyfriend cheating on her with another man. You would have thought that she would have been devastated but when the gay lover of her lover recognises, they start to chat things up about how beautiful she is in person and how he loves her films etc. etc. Before long, she has even forgotten the fact that her boyfriend (whom she dumps anyway) cheated on her and hires his lover as her new stylist. A few days later we meet her two best friends played by Carmen Electra (Lauren) and Stacey Dash (Emily) while the three are out to lunch, where they begin to plot how they are going to get back at men for treating them wrong. Enter Bill Bellamy, the man all three of them zero in on and try to use by seducing and dumping. Too bad that he is in on their game and plays them as well for all their worth, that is until he falls in love with the most innocent of the three, Emily. Kathy Najimy plays the very funny and quirky psychologist of the character Emily.
