LeonLouisRicci Overlooked sleeper that for some reason failed to get a theatrical release. Go figure. With so many awful stuff making it to the big screen, this one slipped through and got the bum's rush to cable and video.Remarkable performances by the female leads propel this under appreciated underworld movie that uses a balance of camaraderie and crime to give us an entertaining affair with some touching turns and violent vignettes.The bar scene that sets things in motion is a nod to Goodfellas (1990) and that said the Goodfellas here are pretty much out of central casting and the "twist" ending has been used many times but this film is better then most low budget mob movies.

MCcantante327 Wisegirls was such an awesome movie!! I love Mariah and although her acting can never compare to her singing, she was amazing in this movie, especially when compared to her acting in Glitter. Hopefully Mariah will act this good or better in the next movie she films, which should be Sweet Science. I loved the movie because it had a lot of action and suspense. Anybody who likes suspense, drama and action should see this movie. I showed this movie to one of my friends and she loved it. I asked her about Mariah, since I'm a huge fan, and she said that she was really good in the movie. She went out the next day, rented the movie and showed it to her parents because she thought it was that awesome. Anybody who thinks Mariah can't act should see this movie.

edblask04 This is a good girl buddy movie for the most part. It even shows that Mariah Carey can act even if she is not yet at the level of excellence as Mira Sorvino and Melora Walters. The acting is realistic to a certain extent as is the screenplay with the possible problem of stereotyping Italian-Americans a little too much as members of the Mob. A little bit too much of Hollywood writing the criminal history rather than reality writing it.This seems a very under rated movie that should be seen by Mira Sorvino fans. Shows that the quality she demonstrated in the Mighty Aphrodite was more than her having a few good weeks when she good act really well.

mahajanssen I was advised by my video store clerk how really bad this movie was but I persisted especially after reading some of the user comments here. The plot, though predictable, is well played. It starts off slow and after a while, you feel like it's not really getting anywhere but things start turning just as when you least expect it. But guys be warned - it's a chick flick so you might not have the patience for it.You guys are right - Mariah is pretty decent here but I don't think she had to stretch too much. She's basically playing herself but she's doing it smart; you know, playing familiar characters before venturing into the unknown. I just wish she'd cover up a bit more. She looks like a striptent reject!Mira Sorvino is the light of this movie. She seemed to have disappeared after getting an Oscar but I don't think the movie executives are too pleased with her movie role choices coz I don't hear about her anymore. Anyways, she did good here and if she keeps this up, she'll get another Oscar. I just don't understand why she's not getting all the hoo-haa. She's got the looks and the talent for it.
