Underrated Effort By The Entire Cast.
As a big fan of the original starring Dorothy Dandridge, I must say well done. Should be appreciated by more people. Beyonce Knowles, Phifer, and Mos Def give very talented performances.

hiphopera carmen
This is an amazin remake, the casting is great, especially the beautiful and talented beyonce' as carmen brown if ever was a woman that no man can resist it's her. i love this movie i saw it like a million times. every thing from the actors 2 the songs 2 the production is of da chain. and the additional "making of the movie" is hilarious. and even though it's a made 4 tv movie it's my favorite movie, it's beautiful, it's funny it's tragic, and it's hip-hop.
