Summary: Make The "Wise Choice' With "Wisegirls"
Review: Well, well, well....
For skeptics that were not sure of what this movie would turn out to be, this movie is absolutely wondeful! This mind boggling drama full of twist and turns is a great tool to show just how good Mariah Carey can act. You can be sure that you will be surprised how good this movie is. Watch it, and enjoy it because I know I did.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Wise up people and rent/buy this great movie !
Review: What an absolute delight of a movie ! I cannot tell you just how much this movie meant to me as a journalist that has to sit through some cinematic garbage week in, week out ! But, 'Wisegirls' was definitely not part of that pile as from moment number one it came out of the blocks with its head held high and never once let it drop. This could even be one of the best movies of 2002 and it is a killer shame that it never made it to the big screen theatres. (Although, my bet is that having finally seen the bad press for Carey's first movie attempt - 'Glitter' - subside enough to launch her sophomore attempt here, they were still not confident enough to hit the mainstream American audiences full on !) But, and with that in mind - let alone her "performance" in the aforementioned 'Glitter', Carey is actually very reasonable here ... Of course she has her 'over-acting' moments, but the rest of the highly-delightful cast rally round her at all times and stop her from falling flat on her face .... again ! Sorvino is just wonderful in her role as the naïve small-town waitress entered upon the world of the Underground Mob via the restaurant business, and the ending is just an unexpected sight to behold ! Rent this or buy this and you will not have wasted an hour and a half of your life, but will have been pleasantly entertained. ...

Summary: Working Those Wisegirls...
Review: What can I say from the opening scene to the last credit this movie is like no other, I was hooked from the first word. Mira Sorvino's best work since 'Romy And Michele's High School Reunion', and defenitley the best work from Mariah Carey since 'Glitter' (hahaha). New to the movie scene Melora Walters was just perfect nobody could of filled her shoes. The 3 woman get along perfectly in Wisegirls, I myself couldn't have choosen a better cast.
A DARK and MOODY movie, beware of the Language and Violence (which I enjoyed) but other than that well worth the watch. Fantastic soundtrack too, Taryn's Maake It Go Away just made me weep at the GraceYard scene. :(

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WiseGirls is the freakin' best!
Review: WiseGirls is definately my favourite movie of all time, Mariah Carey is my favourite singer of all time and so I guess people could think I was being biased but I'm not, Glitter is a good movie in my opinion but it's not an Oscar winning movie, WiseGirls deserved to be a box office smash, Mira Sorvino and Melora Walters are excellent in this movie too!, I don't want to say too much but all I will say is this has the best twist to a movie I have ever seen!...
