    got 2 say dis film was very hearted, if thats write.

    i think the only reason why a lot of peeps like this film is because it has tupac or your a fan of tupac or janet.

    but wont it been good at the time if tupac and janet did a rnb song togeather. man dat would make janet sell more recoreds.
