Ray J Eva L completely makes this movie unbearable. She has always been a terrible actress in my opinion. On top of this she plays a character that is extremely annoying, honestly she was like nails on a chalkboard. Everyone else did the best they could with the mediocre script they had. If Eva L wasn't in it, I probably would have given it a 2.5, she ruined it that much. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/18/23 Full Review Stephen C The least funny 01 hour: and 35 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
