Rating dan ulasan

Carmen: A Hip Hopera is the best urban musical film with the popular recording artists Beyoncé, Mos Def, Wyclef Jean, Bow Wow, Da Brat, and Jermaine Dupri on the film. It is based upon the original 1875 opera Carmen, the first being the 1943 Broadway musical Carmen Jones and it's 1954 Academy Award-nominated film adaptation. The film features mostly original hip-hop/R&B score in place of Georges Bizet's opera, I say this movie is the best one ever and a great inspiration.

I really rented it because Beyonce was in it. It was decent, but the acting could've been better and the story line is very plain

No, No, No, No I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna go , just just let me stay home
