Sorry, this movie sucks

As Good As It Gets

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

I honestly thought this movie was breathtaking and just wonderful. I felt like I was in a different world because the soundtrack was just so brilliant! I couldn't believe Bob Marley's son Ky-Mani Marley actually was playing the lead role in a romantic Jamican story, this! It just made the movie better and I only discovered this after watching the movie last night! I really thought he was only just a regular guy acting in this movie, I had a strange feeling that it was more than that haha!Cherine Anderson was such an excellent singer. I was surprised that her and Marley didn't get to the charts, they are so talented even as a duet! I would love to have heard the songs on the radio, it would explode with such love from the fans! I was so happy to have seen Idris Elba in the movie, his Jamaican accent wasn't that great but still, he is a great actor and I'm glad he got involved with this too! Funny enough, I always think of him as his notable role as Nelson Mandela so it was hard for me to think of him as the character on this haha! As user grumpy-3 in one of the reviews said, this is definitely a feel good movie, it would lighten up your mood so go watch it now!!! :D

This predictable tale of love overcoming prejudice and good overcoming evil was disappointing. The acting was weak at best and, in some cases, downright bad. Kymani Marley appeared as one of the better actors, seeming less stilted, more comfortable in his role and in front of the camera. Cherine, as Serena, despite her unbelievably beautiful voice, was surprisingly disappointing, as one would expect some improvement since her earlier exposure as a teenager in Dance Hall Queen. Seasoned actors Idris Elba and Vas Blackwood appeared more natural than the rest of the cast as did Christopher Daley, albeit in a dud role.Overall, the language in the film came across as stilted. It seems that in an effort to 'water down' the Jamaican dialect, people ended up sounding unnatural. Yet this has been done successfully in other films. Better direction might have led to people seeming and sounding more real, but in several instances, the language did not come across as what a Jamaican would typically say in the situation.Some scenes could easily have been deleted without any loss to the overall story and their inclusion begs the question. Others scenes that were important to the storyline were just unconvincing in their execution.

Loved the movie.. and DRAMA .. wow.. the music in this movie is amazing as well. The characters are well played out (ok.. except for this one fight scene that had me laughing on the attempt of action). The movie has a great story behind it, pursue your dreams, and daddy is not always right... he'll figure that out eventually. The locations in the movie took a while to figure out but a well seasoned Jamaican could figure out a few of them. A feel good movie with a hint of romeo and Juliet the movie also displays the forever rivalry between religion and class. Jamaica's #1 beef (perhaps the worlds?) .I bought it on youstation and loved everything about it. This movie follows the tradition of other Jamaican hits such as Rockers, The Hardery They Come, Dancehall Queen and most recently Shottas! That actress (Sherene Anderson i think?) has a very promising future and Ky-Mani's already a home brewed star more famous since Shottas ! Bigups to Trevor Rhone, Jamaica's King of playwriting on a well written pieceKiwami

I think this is an excellent film. It shows Jamaica in a different light...The cinematography is amazing and the cast compliment each other well. I was very impressed with the music in the film. I find it both impressive and unusual that the lead actors could actually "really" sing.I didn't believe that Anderson was really singing until I witnessed her first hand in Toronto at a party for the Film Festival. SHe definitely has presence and is singer, no doubt. Marley definitely has screen presence and looks good on camera. I liked him in this role. However, at times the pace of the film was a little slow...but it's definitely a feel good movie. Definitely a must see. Looking at the credits i wonder "what was life like on set?"..the team was part Jamaican, part British, and part Norwegian... When will this film come to theaters in the US...I hope soon I really enjoyed it.
