Audience Member Anne B. Real is a hideous film that is a bad ghetto drama, a bad film about rap music, and just a really bad film overall that tastelessly uses Anne Frank as an inspiration for this horrible excuse for a film. It's a tedious, thoroughly boring, very cliched since it steals just any cliche you can think of from every ghetto film ever made. This film is also hindered by an unlikable cast of characters and god-awful rap music. The only bright spot in the film are the rare moments when the film's music score pops up. These small pieces of music are actually pretty decent, but they don't come often. Other than, this low budget disaster has no other redeeming qualities. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Jnyce is an amazing rapper! Overall, great movie! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A girl who writes damn good poetry/rap lyrics, betrayed by family, and dealing with difficult circumstances rise's above, Whoot Whoot! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member (Spoilers ahead.) This movie takes itself way too seriously and thinks it's being great and poignant. The overall idea isn't bad, but the execution kills it very, very dead. The dialogue is hokey and the acting is terrible. I cheered joyously when Anne's friend died, because the actress playing her was so absolutely terrifyingly awful. This movie COULD have been worse... but in the right hands, it also could have been a LOT better. And should have been. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member this movie is so awesome! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Both a shamelessly contrived and unalterably sincere portrait of a high school girl who writes rap poetry in her Bronx 'hood. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
