Debi Mazar, Isaiah Washington, Jenifer Lewis

Girl 6 is a young actress trying to make it in New York. When money and work are scarce, she becomes a phone sex operator to make ends meet, and embarks on a fantastic, roller-coaster journey of self-...( read more  read more... )discovery. Originally seduced by the cash and free time the job provides, Girl 6 rapidly discovers the allure of living with one foot in the world of fantasy. Suddenly allowed to create a wide range of alter-egos as a phone sex operator, she applies the experiences to her acting; and a whole new world of characters, emotions and scenes opens itself up to Girl 6, the aspiring film star. Fantasy can be addictive. As Girl 6 walks the sometimes wild line between fantasy and reality, she is kept in check by Lil, her maternal boss, and her co-worker Girl 39, although neither truly understands her fascination with her new world. Only Girl 6's lovable next door neighbor Jimmy, a fellow dreamer, can identify with her drive to learn more, experience more, and do more to pursue her dream of being an actress.

    I usually like Spke Lee films... He is a highly talented director, but this film was BORING!
  • December 26, 2007
    A unique movie with a great cast.
  • August 24, 2009
    Overlong but ultimately enjoyable film.

    It is powerful in ways but unaffecting in others. it sometimes becomes quite slow and has some pointless filler scenes that could have been cut from the final film. The screenplay is decent and has good drama and comedy and is mostly enj...( read more)oyable but sometimes allows you time to day dream when not a lot happens, which is quite a noticable flaw when you are watching it.

    It has a good soundtrack and a decent screenplay but some sub-plots seem to head nowhere or towards an unexplored end, hastily forgetting previous events and moving onto something else. This poor structure is probably the main flaw, shame it is a big one, not a small, forgivable one.

    The rest is mostly good, with a catchy soundtrack of Prince songs, performaned or written by him and some decent peformances, from Quentin Tarantino's brilliant and very funny cameo to Theresa Randle, perfectly cast, as the lead.

    Typical Spike Lee movie in that it seems to exist on a number of levels at once. A nice portrait of confusion and conflict and ultimately another manifestation of what Spike Lee doesn't get that much attention for-his strong feminist statements.

    this film came and went without much notice. too bad. theresa randle is brilliant as girl 6, a struggling actress that decides to dabble in phone sex to pay the bills. spike lee has a great script to work with and a soundtrack featuring songs by prince plus cameos by madonna, r...( read more)ichard belzer, naomi capmbell, coati mundi and the list goes on and on!

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Lee has done the impossible: He's sucked the fun out of call-in sex and replaced it with sanctimonious prattle. full review

January 1, 2000
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Strongly told stories have a way of carrying their characters along with them. But here we have an undefined character in an aimless story. Too bad. full review

    Theresa Randle's only attempt here in a film directed by Spike Lee and was interesting but very sucky.
