OK, so listen, Glitter for some was one of the worst films ever made, to others a guilty pleasure. But most will agree that it didn't show Mariah off in the best light as an actress. Still, with WiseGirls she completely redeems herself. Her character Raychel is fun, strong, and has all of the movies best lines. She holds her own against Mira Sorvino easily. The direction and decent script of WiseGirls hints at the very strong possibility that the 'mess' that Glitter was was not entirely down to Mariah. This is a entertaining movie about friendship, with some really great action and mob situations for everyone to get stuck into. Check this film out, it should have got a cinema release, there are much worse films than this clogging up screens everywhere. And Mariah is by no means worse than your Whitney Houston singer-turned-actress or even some of Jennifer Lopez's performance's, who is technically an actress first. I hope you enjoy ...
