Member Rating:  
David Anspaugh's mix of female bonding and mob drama, Wisegirls concerns a trio of waitresses. Meg (Oscar winner Mira Sorvino), wise-talking Raychel (Mariah Carey), and wannabe dancer Kate (Paul Thomas Anderson regular Melora Walters) grow close while working at an Italian restaurant. After saving a man's life at the eatery thanks to her time in medical school, Meg begins to realize that the establishment is mob-controlled. Soon she must hide the dead body of her boss (whose "whacking" she indirectly caused). Eventually, Meg discovers secrets about her two friends and is forced to risk her life in order to gain information on the mobsters. This mix of gangster film and female bonding screened at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

This movie was pretty enjoyable. Don't take it too seriously though. Mariah really did a good job. I highly recommend for a weekday movie.

It wasn't too long which I liked, also- I started to care about the characters and their plight. It did get a little schmaltzy at times, with a few mafia cliches, but it was better than I thought. And Mariah really surprised me-this role was perfect for her (as opposed to Glitter). Watch it if you enjoy thriller/dramas.

I thought this movie would be a horrible stereotypical mafia flick. While there are quite a few stereotypes in it, the acting isn't too bad and the plot is pretty unique (it centers around waitresses working in a connected Italian restaurant).

This film would have been almost watchable if you remove Mariah Carey from it.
