I saw this well made thriller when it first came out, and have seen it many times since. A character driven and dark crime thriller with a an excellent cast all around, particularly Mariah Carey ( and yes I think 'Glitter ' is her best work, and my favorite film of all time). This film along with other films such as ' Tennessee' and "Precious' are my close second favorites. The film's script is well crafted with interesting twists. The plot moves along with some stylish visuals. It is truly a shame that this did not get a wider release. The uk DVD contains a behind the scenes segment , which for some reason was not included on the us DVD release. The uk DVD is worth seeking out for this extra, although the us DVD is the best print of the film. I say get both releases. Highly Recommend.

This film, based on past experience of the cast (particularly one) and the director surprised me in its quality. A very funny script combined with superb acting performances by the main three, particularly Mariah Carey made this film a very entertaining few hours. A stella performance by Mariah and beautiful directing, a class movie must-see! On the negative there were a few slow moments in the movie where not very much seemed to be happening, but only very few. A great concept for a movie i thought delivered well. Raychel, as a character was strong and strangely likable, the best lines seemed to be reserved for Mariah and she played them well, its a shame it was never really released commercially as this film is a lot better than many of the blockbusters in the cinema presently.

To be completely honest, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this movie. In fact everything is perfect. I have no idea why 'Wisegirls' has such low imdb rating. The story is about a girl played by Mira Sorvino who starts working as a waitress in a restaurant run by Mafia. It starts as a drama but ends up in suspense.Mira Sorvino played the role perfectly. Maria Carey and Melora Walters were great too. And the rest of the cast did their job flawlessly.'Wisegirls' is a feel good movie that everyone should see. You won't regret it, guaranteed.10/10

Mira Sorvino is wonderful as usual but the movie itself is an interesting environment for Mariah Carey the actress. Mariah owns the part of Raychel. She has excellent stage presence and great character dynamics. Carey was wonderful to watch. I'm looking forward to seeing her in an appropriate role again.Carey got a bad rap with Glitter. It was a terrible movie but it would have been terrible no matter who played the part of Billie Frank.If you are looking for an alternative to a night of the Sopranos give Wisegirls a view.
