A thin line between love and hate movie#
This one certainly doesn’t do it, but instead seemingly tries to win the record for number of profanities in a movie (it doesn’t, but scores very high). Lawrence does have a certain screen charisma (much like Eddie Murphy had when he was younger) and it’s a shame that he hasn’t had a vehicle yet to exploit his charming persona. OUR TAKE: 3 out of 10 In what we suppose was intended to be a hilarious take on the "Fatal Attraction" plot, this movie is neither very funny nor scary. LYNN WHITFIELD plays a conceited woman who, once scorned, does all sorts of bad things to Darnell, including damaging his property and trying to kill him.He does, however, eventually come around and changes his way with women after Mia returns and he becomes monogamous with her. MARTIN LAWRENCE plays a character who's a womanizer, plain and simple.WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: R For strong language, a sex scene and some violence. WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT? If they’re fans of Lawrence (TV’s "Martin") they might. As the popular saying goes, "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned," Brandi makes it her mission to ruin Darnell’s life after he won’t have her back. She thinks they’re in love, but he’s now interested in an old childhood friend, Mia (REGINA KING), who’s returned from a stint in the Air Force. She plays hard to get for a while, but eventually he wears down her resistance and they sleep together. When he sees Brandi Web (LYNN WHITFIELD), a wealthy real estate agent, he sees her as his next target. When he’s not working there with his buddy, Tee (BOBBY BROWN), Darnell’s out chasing woman and trying to "score" with them. PLOT: Darnell Wright (MARTIN LAWRENCE) is a budding partner/employee of "Chocolate City," a funky nightclub. QUICK TAKE: A habitual womanizer gets his comeuppance when a scorned woman comes back for revenge after he’s dumped her. (1996) (Martin Lawrence, Lynn Whitfield) (R)
