Uninspired nonsense which provided pop singer Mariah Carey with her film debut, practically playing herself as an up-and-coming pop star.

Carey's acting abilities leave a lot to be desired and the vapid songs which she warbles for the film's soundtrack aren't anything special either.

For Carey fans only, and even they might feel short-changed. Personally, I'd rather watch a movie about Gary Glitter than this load of old pish.
