Alien at the Movies

A heavy set, poor, white girl from Jersey dreams of being a famous rap star who goes by the moniker Killer-P. She is a part-time bartender/wait staff living with her mom & nana (Cathy Moriarty). With encouragement from her rapping East Indian pharmacist assistant/friend & a chance meeting with a mysterious homeless black musician who calls himself the Anti-Christ, they form PB&J & hope make it to the big time. This funny & quirky low budget independent film is well made, well acted, entertaining & makes the best of what it has available to work with. However, it may not exactly be for everyone mainly to due the "R" rated language punctuating the songs as well as their vocabulary. If you are a rap fan, you may really appreciate the creative moments. This film with a rap-off, a titty bar scene, & a talent contest feels gritty, down & dirty, and brutally honest. Through the good & bad times, this family's love for each other holds them together. 

Alien gives it 3 "Barbwire & Tough Love" stars out of 4.
