DVD Reviews of Love Don't Cost a Thing (Full Screen Edition)

DVD Review: Slow Start, Big Finish!
Summary: 4 Stars

Alvin and Paris end up becoming friends and she tries to change his image, and this is where the movie gets really good. Christina Milian is an excellent actress; she manages to make the scenes in this predictable sequence (her finding him clothes and a new hairstyle) work really well. She doesn't over act at all, and this makes the movie a breath of fresh air.

There is a great scene in this film, one that should become a classic: Alvin and Paris are talking to each other (really listening too) and Alvin mentions that he almost had a college scholarship because of his mechanical abilities, but he wasn't able to get the final part for their automobile engine. When Paris presses him for more information, she learns that he used all of his money (that was supposed to be for the part) to fix her car, she truly begins to care for him, seeing the side of him she has ignored.

As I have said, this movie starts out slow but finishes strong. I liked it a lot. Christina Milian is one of the most beautiful girls on the screen right now. She is also a great actress (LOL, you're not going to believe this - I had never even heard of her before this movie!...told ya you wouldn't believe it).

Now, is this movie for younger kids? Nope, not unless you want your kids to see a Dad explaining to his teenage son how to put a condom on and score with the ladies. Sixteen and up, only, in my opinion.

Enjoy the show.
