In the Mix Movie Review 2005

This one's a straight-up vehicle for recording artist Usher. If that just made you wonder "Who?" stop here. Darrell (Usher) is a New York City DJ/chick magnet who, as a result of a family friendship, must step in as body guard to a Jersey mobster's daughter, Dolly (Chriqui). A romantic flame ignites between the two. With nowhere else to go, the film becomes a handful of mafia and racial jokes.
