    Every time I see Carmen Electra in the cast, I can predict "not interesting". The only good thing about this movie was that, in the end, the nice girl gets the guy..

    Trendy, but worth viewing, since I like the acting of Stacey Dash.

    Although it features a recognizable cast, Getting Played plays out like a modestly-budgeted, straight-to-video release, indistinguishable from many romantic comedies that come out on a regular basis at your local video store. Chances are you would only rent this film if you're a...( read more) romantic comedy regular, already seeing all of the major releases in the genre, yet still looking for that movie to watch as a couple on an evening where there's not much else to do but cuddle on the couch. Along those lines, Getting Played is amiable and energetic enough to be passable fare, but it's certainly wholly disposable, fading from memory not too long after you've pressed eject on the DVD player.

    The plot itself is nothing remotely remarkable, as it is very much sitcom material, with three women making a bet to see who can bag a certain eligible bachelor in bed the fastest. The bachelor in question is Mark Sellers (Bellamy, Buying the Cow), a handsome professional that all contestants find attractive, while the women are quite stunning in their own right, nearly impossible for any man to turn down the advances of. Vivica A. Fox (Ella Enchanted, Kill Bill Vol. 1) plays Andrea Collins, famous but egotistical actress, while Carmen Electra (Scary Movie, Scary Movie 4) is the "vanilla" restaurant owner, Lauren. Stacey Dash (View from the Top, Hook'd Up) rounds out the trio as the sweet girl that seems too nice to get a steady boyfriend, seeking the help of a professional to break her out of her shell.

    Needless to say, we pretty much know how it ends as soon as the contest begins, so the best we can hope for is for a few laughs along the way. If you have a low enough threshold, you'll probably find it pleasant and cute, even if it never approaches laugh-out-loud funny.

    The cast is likeable and attractive, so if you drool over any of the actors or actresses enough to watch anything they appear in, you'll get your fill of them wearing sexy outfits throughout. Just remember, it's PG-13, which generally means no sex or nude scenes.

    Although it is a short 85 minutes, it is padded much more than other films of its ilk, with scenes that are either needless or carry on way too long. Remove the useless scenes of Fox and her ex-boyfriend troubles, some stand-up comedy by Sheryl Underwood, the escapades of Bellamy's best friend played by Joe Torry (Hair Show), and a few musical segues that go on long, and you wouldn't have enough to fill an hour worth of film. Funny thing is, I actually prefer the scenes that don't deal with the contrived and mostly unfunny plot, so I'm willing to allow some indulgences, as they provide the only amusing moments of this otherwise throwaway film.

    this is one of those movies they show on tv over and over again. it was fine the first 100 times but after that you get tired of it. it really isn't 100 times great if you catch my drift. its a fun little movie to watch when you don't have anything to do, but obviously not in ...( read more)my top 100 lol.

    Brilliant, funny, entertaining. A good story about morals
  • September 1, 2008
    Romantic comedy about three women who have been unlucky in love. One day they decide to turn the tables and seduce one unsuspecting mark and convince him that he's struck relationship gold. Above average comedy is helped immensely by attractive cast, in particular Michael Jai W...( read more)hite, who plays a supporting part as an actor.

    This is a funny movie a little messed up but it's funny! They must have resurrected Bill Bellamy from the actor's grave!
