...Jennifer: But its Latino-stereotype bad guy is going to make some people very angry. They may have tried to balance it with Shaft's sidekick, Carmen Vasquez, but she's played by Vanessa Williams, and aside from her name there's nothing particularly Latina about her - unlike the bad guy Peoples, who is a screamingly camp, caricatured Dominican drug dealer. But when the original came out you didn't have the culture jam-packed with images of black athletes, actors and musicians defining what was cool.

He looks out from the helm of the Garata and says simply, "We have real-life issues here...
...insanity. And while it will shock nobody that Committed is not hard to watch visually, it may surprise some that this movie isn't at all painful to sit through. It is actually rather fun, and funny at points. In a jealous rage Joline sticks a banana into Carmen's fuel tank, and then confesses to her later-you may not be on the floor in tears, but this is not one of those romantic comedies that forgets the comedy. And while the film may not be profound it is not unoriginal, I mean, Heather Graham in every scene...
