Dies und das:

Usher Raymond enlisted the help of his longtime personal bodyguard, Elijah Shaw, in an effort to be more accurate in his role as Dolly's protector. Elijah who spent most of his time keeping screaming fans away from the location shoots, was dragged on set for multiple sessions of, "what would you do if..." His name appears in the credits as "Personal Security"

Dialogzitate:

Dolly: Must have been the collard greens that made me lose control!

How Not To Make A Movie...

Not Since Vanilla Ice's "Cool as Ice" and Britney Spears' "Crossroads" has such schlock been put to celluloid for no other purpose than take advantage of a pop music star's success and try to cash in on it.

At least Rob Van Winkle and Mrs. Spears can claim that it is not their fault the movies were bad, but instead the script was bad to begin with. Usher on the other hand gets Executive Producer credits for this gem.

In an interview he explains his role as executive producer...

"Well, I didn't put money behind it. That title comes from being involved in the creative process from choosing the people to act opposite, script supervision, selecting people who are a part of the production team. It's pretty easy."

Note to Usher: Executive Producing SHOULDN'T be Easy...

Maybe if you spent more time supervising the development of characters and plots, instead of supervising an onslaught of racial stereotypes and lines that serve no purpose but to praise your physical aspects, you might be able to star in a movie that will be in the top 8 at the box office in it's opening weekend.

Note to Self: Never trust the judgment of the person who dragged me to this ever again.
