In the Mix (Widescreen Edition) Reviews:
Last night a DJ killed me with a bad movie 
2008-05-15 - Entertainers are always trying to succeed in other fields(like established actors that want to be singers or established singers that want to be actors) but very few of them actually succeed in other endeavors other than the one they are well known for. Usher Raymond is another statistic in this sad but true fact. In The Mix is 95 minutes of pure torture and I dont reccomend it to anyone.
Premise: Daryl(Usher), a local DJ is asked to take care of Dolly(Emanuelle Chriqui), a daughter of a well known mob boss(Chazz Palminteri). After taking a bullet for her, Daryl later falls for Dolly and of course the father isnt happy about it. Trouble brews as one of the mob boss's henchmen plans to betray his own boss to run the establishment himself.
Opinion: This movie is visual Nyquil. Usher cant act and Emanuelle Chriqui is so wooden all she's missing is the woodpecker. Plus what would this movie be without stereotypes? There's the Italian father who doesnt want his daughter to date the black man. There's the wegro who is so annoying that he makes Jamie Kennedy's character "Malibu" look like James Bond. There's the black men brandishing pistols in a card game and there is the step-n-fetchit character played by Kevin Hart. Chazz Palminteri is usually good in movies but here he is as bland as paper machier. The love scenes are boring also because there is no chemistry between Usher and Emanuelle. They're just going through the motions. The script is terrible and the action scenes are about as exciting as a presidential address given by Sling Blade. Nothing about this movie is redeemable. Usher is a great singer but as an actor he makes Method Man look like Marlon Brando. Unless you like being put to sleep by a movie you would do well to skip this one. If In The Mix was a record, it would clear every dancefloor coast to coast.
Color shift from Shaft? 
2008-04-30 - Who is that girl? The black guy thinks she's to die for?!
Funky has turned and the club is still there, but
Gang Banger, now, means black or Mexican.
And they are meaner than you can believe?
The MOB still is scary, but not like the black scene.
So a girl who is in a law degree might look to
keep her family current by pulling in a black guy.
One with guts and a good ear too?
Old guys get slow and young guys are
in the know...
I LIKED IT 
2007-05-14 - Okay I think part of the reason it received a five is because I am quite partial to all the actors and actresses in the film I enjoy seeing them all act especially Usher. I've always been a huge fan of his from music to his acting therefore I guess no one will take my review serious because of how I feel for the actors and actress. Can we say its the bomb....
good movie
2006-11-29 - i like this movie that he is in. i had to wait for the cost to go down for a year and i finally had got it. i think that if you are a big usher fan that you will have to see this movie. you will love it for sure.

2006-11-06 - I would say this is a typically so called teenager film. It is a very simple story with out any deep meaning or teaching. This film is just for enterntainment.... But again if you are a huge usher fan you need this dvd in your collection :-)
