very lame and wannabe gangster

never in a million years did I think this movie would be about mobs and things like that. But then again mariah tries to have street credibility in her music so it's no surprise she tries to do that in movies as well. Avoid at all costs and check out one of mira's better films
Excellent!

The only reason why I decided to get this movie was because of Mariah. But this movie turned out to be so great. In this movie Mariah shows she can really act. She did such a good job. Mira Salvino also did a tremendous job. Its to bad this movie wasnt in theaters, because it would have done really well. You will not be sorry if you buy this awesome film!
for fans of MC and gangsta movies

this is a great movie. Mariah out shines her glitter performance and redeems herself. She holds her own with academy award winner mira sorvino. There is elements of the godfather and nyc, all in one movie. I recommend it to anyone who likes gangsta movies and great acting, also if ur a mariah fan! check it out!!
Was not expecting this . . .

The movie is not a typical big hollywood movie, but then again alot of high rated or art films are not. As for the plot, i was very taken by how you feel for the characters from the very beginning. The music flows great with the movie, nothing too outrageous but somewhat modern folk and yet very moving. The acting was good, the characters were very well defined seperately from eachother.
The best part of the movie was the plot twist. Somewhat predictalble in a mob movie but this one took a morbid sort of turn.
My first time watching the movie i was laughing at some subtle jokes, and then biting my nails to the point that i was so nervous for the characters that i had to get up and walk around.
The second twist at the end of the movie really had me in tears.
I honestly love watching movies and was not expecting this from this movie as i do not remember when it came out, but any movie that can have me laughing, on the edge of my seat and crying, gets a 5 star rating in my book.
Was very enjoyable to watch because some of the characters are not well known as "actors" and I was NOT embarrassed for any actor in the film.
Once again, quite a few twists, and thats GOOD in any movie, and quite a dramatic film.
Very Good, but a little too dramatic.

Mira Sorvino is great! She is innocent, cute and is a pretty good actress.
Mariah Carey is amazing! I didn't know that one person was capable of being good at everything. Singing, acting, producing, and writing. Plus...she's hot.
The story is about a medical student, Meg (Sorvino), moving back to her home in New York after her fiance dies in a car accident. She lives with her grandmother and gets a job at local restaurant waiting tables. She works extremely hard and is a little thrown back by how strict and seriously everyone is taking their job. Meg meets some new friends on the job aswell. Kate (Walters), plays a wannabe actress who is a temp worker at the restaurant, and Raychel (Carey), who is a long time worker at the restaurant that is hoping for a managing promotion soon. They start hanging out and become great friends. Most of the regulars in the restaurant are big-wig italian gangsters with only one thing on their mind, drug deals. Meg is easily making hundreds of dollars a night on tips and one night after work, she gets into an argument and is defended by one of her clients. It results in a murder, and having witnessed it, she is now sucked into the the mob, and if she tells anyone, her life is on the line. Sorvino is awesome!Carey kicks ass! and Walters is a delight.
