Salt-N-Pepa

This interesting look into the life and times of one of the 80s good but not great hip-hop duos comes off a bit amateurish. Considering the experience level of director Mario Van Peebles, this formulaic approach was missing a professional touch. The decision to place unknown and untested actors in starring roles might save the budget, but it insures that this style of film making will stay on the Lifetime channel where there is a ton of time to fill and nor enough original product. Black women viewers deserve better. I hope Queen Latifah's acting chops keep going up because this nonepic dioes nothing for her as a producer.

Some of the movie came off choppy. There were slow points that were extremely detailed and other points that seemed rushed that left the watcher with questions. As a Salt-N-Pepa fan through their entire career, I was disappointed that they left Spinderella pretty much out of the story. It would be nice if they would have delved into the issues there since many of their fans know how much she was left out of the limelight particularly over recent years. A decent start for a biopic, but definitely could be improved upon.

This was so much fun I can't even begin. Lifetime clearly had a big budget. The performances were award worthy and the film took me down memory lane. I was 7 when I was dancing to Salt N Pepa at school, and every song, still remember the lyrics. It was a heart warming film, brought tears to my eyes many times and the ending is wonderful. The actress playing Sandy Denton is just as beautiful as her, fab bodies and savvy sassy attitude. Excellent casting for everyone especially Hurby Azor...they basically found his twin! Two talented women who should never be forgotten in their contribution to girl power and hip hop.

I loved the Lifetime movie, Salt & Pepa. It's was more than I imagined. I wish I knew more about Spinderella. It's so authentic and the cast was phenomenal. Salt and Pepa are such icons for Hip-Hop. I pray that they continue to thrive and uplift the culture .

I grew up hearing songs from this duo on the radio but never knew the story of their origin or how they broke up. I found this both educational and entertaining. This is not only the story of this duo but a piece of Hip Hop history.
