I liked this movie especially the music, sure Beyonce rocked it and really put some kind of flavor in her character Carmen, I liked her game, she looked amazing, very sexy and attractive, but... she was definitely mean : she enjoyed hitting on other people's men and creating trouble, she was selfish and manipulative, and hey, she got into a fight!! what kind of a Diva is that? and she ruined Hill's life. So at the end, I didn't quite understand when they said there will never be anyone else like her !? I mean, do you really want to have somebody like that in your life? I don't think so ! And to me, that's where the movie failed because in the end there was really nothing special or even likable about Carmen, she was just mean, you think she was beautiful? but what is beauty if you don't have it from the inside ! I think they should have removed the epilogue because it contradicts the whole movie and it seems kind of hypocrite too: So we're supposed to have some kind of pity for people just because of their looks? My answer is NO: wrong is wrong even if you look like a star, don't let the looks fool you, and most importantly know how to control yourself, something that looks good doesn't mean it is good, and sometimes you just have to accept your life the way it is, your girl might not be a Diva, her game might be "wack" but that's fine, because a diva could bring much more trouble in your life than you think. I thought the actors were great in the movie, especially Mekhi,Mos Def,and Beyonce, they were all so natural, they kept it real and that was good.
