White/Black Nonsense, 4 March 2005
2/10
Author: bbck7 from United States

I walked. Unnecessary violence, unnecessary racial comments, weak script, could not believe some of the rough cuts. A high school film class could have improved the cinematography. How could Travolta/Thurman get themselves into this mess? Travolta was one of those actors I would go see without seeing any reviews. No more! I wanted to end my comments after the last sentence but I need ten lines of print. The old story line about poor little girl gets her big break just does not work, mainly because the little girl really does not have any talent. Therefore, the facial takes from everyone evaluating her singing to give her that first big break is nothing less than comical. The commercials within the movie were obvious and insulted my intelligence. Let me see what can I say good about this movie? It pitched high mileage vehicles, several times, but that was so out of context, it made you wonder how that even remotely fit into a rational story line. Thurman was the only actor that did not make a fool of herself.
