There's a good movie hidden within the plot of Illegal Tender.Unfortunately the director and the producers of this flick couldnt find it.I just couldnt get past how weak the script was and how some scenes defied all logic and sense.Its a great looking flick, some interesting characters, beautiful beaches and with beautiful women scattered throughout the film in some of the most eye popping outfits i have ever seen.Wanda Dejesus gives a high spirited performance.But wait for this one to hit cable so you can see her show off her..uhmmm..guns.
Scale of 1-10 a 5

Hahaha. Roeper and the guest critic just ripped this movie a new asshole.

I didn't think it looked THAT bad. Based on the trailer it looked like the lead actor sucked but otherwise it looked okay. Nothing original or anything, obviously, but it looked okay.

But none of the two theaters near me got this movie though so it looks this will be a dvd flick.

AWFUL title.

This looks like it should just go straight to BET.
