A simple girl Billie Frank (Mariah Carey), abandoned by her alcoholic mother, meets a DJ, falls in love with him and becomes a star. Certainly there will be a superficial turning plot and a happy end. Actually it is a shallow and ridiculous plot, only to promote Mariah Carey as an actress. Her performance is something that deserves to be commented. In the past, Mariah Carey had a beautiful face. Get the VHS 'The First Vision', and you will see a gorgeous woman with brunet curled hair, natural eyebrows, nose and cheeks. Now, this female version of Michael Jackson is pathetic, with blond straight hair, thin nose and eyebrows and cheeks with silicone. Her acting is ridiculous, blinking all the time. When she is happy, she blinks. When she is sad, she blinks. When she is in love, she blinks. The number of times she blinks along this flick could be a reason for a funny game: 'Guess how many times she will blink in such a period of the movie?' And even singing, she exaggerates with her 'uhs... uhs..' (as usual). The DJ Julian Dice (Max Beesley) looks like a clone of Mark Wahlberg. Maybe fans of Mariah Carey may like this movie, but I am not his fan. My vote is four.
