Summary: the flick was the bomb..more..more!
Review: I loved the movie. We need more female 'badguys'. Although it would have been even better if we didn't have to look at Jada Pinkett. ANYBODY (but Robin Givens) would have been better in her part. The realisticness of the characters and how well they played their parts was comendable. Keep up the good work. And for goodness sake leave Jada home with Will.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Set it Off
Review: I really enjoyed this film and the different ways in which all of the main characters were portrayed. Cleo had a certain type of spice added to her character. It was very unexpected of her but she played the role really well. I think that if an individual didn't know her or at least know of her then they would have really believed that she was gay. T.T. played her role as well. She was the scary one of them all yet she knew when it was time to women up she was on top of things. I loved Frakie, for the simple fact that she didn't take no crap from anyone, she stood on her own two feet and did whatever it was that she needed to do. I commend Stonie for working hard and stepping up to the plate for her brother. She knew what had to be done and did it. Overall I truely enjoyed this film and there should be a sequel.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 2 thumbs up!
Review: I think set it off demostrates stength, courage, ambition, and determination of women who are down in life. It is realistic. It shows love, friendship, and it touches the heart.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie is positivly THE movie of the '90s!
Review: I thought that the movie would be another 'Waiting to Exhale' and a friend of mine said to me "This movie is great, you have to watch it!" I thought that I would give it a try. Watching it one night the movie made such an impact on me that I was crying from almost the begining credits. I think that the charactors are ones that people can identify with and feel sorry for... I especially thought that Jada Pinkett Smith played her role with brillience and Queen LaTefa played her role stunningly. I was quite moved by Cleo, she had real class. All in all a great movie... a must for all people with hearts!!

Summary: BANG, BANG, BANG!!!!
Review: I thought the movie was real, and what made it so good was it was women doing the dirt for once instead of men. Women rob and steal so much better than men. We make it interesting. I know it's been plenty of days where I felt like setting it off up in the office. GO GIRLS!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Right On!
Review: I thought this movie ruled, its my favorite movie in the whole world, and I've seen it probably over 100 times. I love Queen Latifah and Jada Pinkett, and I'm jealous that she married Will Smith. *smiles* It's all good.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: all the songs
Review: i want to know the name of all the songs of set it off

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Favorite Movie
Review: I was just watching this last night and I am going to warn anyone who hasn't seen this (can't imagine who hasn't) that this is a genuine tear-jerker. This is a powerful movie and though you should be mad that these women are doing what they're doing you can't help but feel for them. Queen Latifah does an excellent job unlike most rappers/singers turned actors today. Tashan was the funniest though (when she runs out the bank and drops the gun are classic!). This movie is definetly worth the purchase!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Suprisingly good!!
Review: I was pretty amazed at how a good a film this turned out to be..The girl who played Latifah's g/f is a one hot broad..Personally, I didn't really see how all the controversy about Latifah being a lesbian got to the magnitude that it reached..The love scenes b/w Latifah and the other girl were not explicit at all..
Back to the film--Great film..Combined all the elements, love, suspense,action, drama etc...
Film does have some dragging moments, but all in all, its a must see and the ending is one of the better endings that I have seen...
4 out of 5 stars in my book.....
