Aaron Hillis Village Voice The song-and-verse gimmick wears thin, as does the film's naive, black-or-white take on black and white. Nov 26, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member This movie is a joke...all the "raps"sound the same...and the lead female vocals are nasally and makes me nauseous to listen to them.Frankly me and my fiance put this on because we wanted something to laugh at...but ended up being tortured in the process.. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member my wife made me watch the rap musical. it was a decent film, I was shocked I liked it Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Its a pretty good movie over all, but if your looking for true romance, this movie isn't the best choice. Jewel, is to fast. Sexually wise, and Romeo falls in in love to fast. It seems as if they meet each other and get married all in one day. Its a little confusing towards the end when Mercury dies and comes back as a spirit. But, the ending dramatic. The songs are okay, i guess. Jewel's voice is a little soft through out the movie. Other then that, its a pretty interesting movie. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Worst excuse for a movie I've ever seen. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member i don't like movie but i like song somewhere somehow Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member aaaaarggggghhhhhh! 'tis a musical, a rap musical, a bad rap musical - I watched about 10 minutes then turned it off Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
