Consensus:
Fans may get a kick out of seeing Usher showcasing his charm on screen, but the movie itself is tone deaf and inconsequential, even by rom-com standards.
Runtime: 1 hr 35 mins

With its laughable dramatic sequences and goofy supporting characters, this film is hard to dismiss as entertainment: a camp treat for comics as well as Usher fans.

It's clearly conceived solely as a star vehicle for the ubiquitous Usher and his washboard abs, with plot coherence and originality coming in somewhere lower in the pecking order.

It's not exactly atrocious, but it constantly makes you wonder why those involved couldn't find something better to do.

The failure is with a script as ungainly as it is and an oversimplified conception of American-Italian and black cultures.

Let it be said that as an actor, Usher would probably make a pretty good zither player.

Played mostly as a drama but utterly devoid of tension, the film mainly comes across as recycled.
