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.

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

This thing is as formulaically bland as the rest of its Tinseltown kind.
