"G" is a vacuous movie set in attractive locations.

| Original Score: D+ | Apr 17, 2009

The F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic, The Great Gatsby, adapted as a modern-day morality play in blackface. This fairly-faithful version explores the same themes as its source material, only with a hip-hop spin.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 4, 2007

An intricate update of The Great Gatsby exploring such themes as greed, ambition, passion, infidelity and more greed, all against the elegant backdrop of Long Island's leisure class.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jan 22, 2007

| Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 21, 2006

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 12, 2006

Reworking the story with a hip-hop record mogul at its center comes across as little more than a stunt. And not a very good stunt.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 2, 2005

Another strikeout, further destroying F. Scott Fitzgerald's film batting average.

| Original Score: C | Nov 2, 2005

No green light but the one mistakenly given to start production.

I still thought there were enough good performances, great visuals, and an interesting examination of a lifestyle in a way that we haven't seen a lot of times in movies for me to recommend it.

G often resembles a glossy BET soap opera...Cherot does capture the decadence of its slick "playas" in the extravagant world of bling-worshipping music moguls

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 29, 2005

| Original Score: D | Oct 29, 2005

An unpolished but entertaining tragedy filled with outstanding performances and memorable moments.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 28, 2005

[A] poorly acted, directed and written (but slick-looking) vanity project.

Bottom line: It works even if you've never heard of F. Scott Fitzgerald. But it's twice as much fun if you have.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 28, 2005

The women are shrewishly materialistic, the men are manipulative or violent and the Polo wardrobes look fabulous on everyone. It's an ugly affair overall, but at least you can say you've never seen such beautiful shirts.

The book was about class and the American dream. The movie is too, though it's most interested in the soap opera machinations of the plot.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 28, 2005

Everyone in this movie is getting it on with someone else behind their lover's back, but only the women have to end up suffering for it. Nice, right?

| Original Score: D | Oct 28, 2005

Christopher Scott Cherot's drama is an honorable attempt laid low by a verbose script, cheap production values, and a general tendency toward soap opera.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 28, 2005

There is scarcely a minute's worth of believable human behavior on display in G, which builds to a climax as incoherent as it is ludicrous.
