Bet You Didn’t Know: Secrets Behind The Making Of “A Low Down Dirty Shame”
Roger Ebert
Wondering what Roger Ebert thought of the film? Well, in his Chicago Tribune review, he said that there were holes and it was mostly about guns but he enjoyed Jada Pinkett’s performance. See what he had to say in detail.
A few bright points: Pinkett is quirky and funny as Peaches, although the character owes more than a little to Rosie Perez’s screen persona. Salli Richardson is a great beauty, although not given much to do, and saddled with one particularly unpleasant scene.
And Wayans pulls a truly neat stunt with a bungee cord. All the rest is gun behavior: holding, waving, dropping, drawing, shooting, loading, pointing, displaying, polishing and posturing. Take away the guns and this would be a movie about too many characters and no way to get rid of them.
