Entertainers are always trying to succeed in other areas other than the one they are known for(like rappers trying to be actors or actors trying to be singers etc) but very few have made it successfully in other endeavors other than the one they are known for succeeding in. Usher is the next person to make this mistake in this disastrous bore called In The Mix.
The story: Darryl(Usher) is a local DJ that saves the life of a mobster called Frank(Chazz Palminteri). He save Frank's daughter Dolly(Emmanuelle Chriqui) also ends up falling for her. Frank disapproves, stops them from seeing each other and later on Darryl stumbles on to a plan by one of Frank's henchmen to betray Frank.
I wholehearted disagree that the only thing that sucked about this movie is Usher's acting. The whole cast sucked right along with Usher. Chazz Palminteri phones it in and Emmanuelle Chriqui is so wooden all she's missing is the woodpecker. The love scene with her and Usher is so heavy-handed and laughable that I broke out into hysterical laughter immediately. These two have zero chemistry together and as a matter of fact, Morticia and Gomez of the Addams Family has more chemistry than these two. The plot was corny and it seemed like something somebody came up with on the spot. Plus if I see another wegro in these movies I'm gonna scream! Usher can sing but he sure cant act and it shows. He looks like he's playing himself the way he delivers his lines and the action scenes suck. Nothing about this movie is redeemable and I mean nothing! Even if you a lover of bad films(like myself)I suggest you try something else. This is not even bad enough to make fun of. Its a boring mess that plops itself on the screen and dies there. On a positive note this movie is perfect for insomniacs because it's literally visual Nyquil. If In The Mix was a record it would clear every dance floor from coast to coast.
