Quite simply the worst film I have ever seen bar none!!, 18 August 2002
1/10
Author: tsw004 from London, England

I have to first explain I only saw this film as I happened to be in when my best friends' girlfriend (a devout Carey fan) decided to rent this film out. To say this film is bad doesn't do it justice, this film is a criminal waste of time and money when you think of all the great scripts and creative writers out there who can't get a break. How anyone had the audacity to commission this crock of pap is beyond me. Carey simply can't act, she is truly awful in this film as are most of the rest of the cast. The 'story' is a semi autobiographical account of the leading lady's life, which is always a sign of a weak plot but this just takes the biscuit! After forty-five minutes I started reading the newspaper, after fifty I couldn't care less if the video chewed itself up! My best friends' girlfriend a confirmed Carey fanatic confessed that even she thought this film was utterly dire and I can't repeat what she said about it for fear of inducing and multi-million pound libel case! Anyone who says this film is even vaguely watchable is either a blind Carey fanatic or just plain stupid. 0 out of 10, and believe me if I could give a minus rating I would.
