Audience Reviews for Get Christie Love!

Feb 08, 2009

This is a pretty decent (largely forgotten) blaxploitation flick. It's truly a product of the 70's-meaning that it appears dated, but that really only adds to its charm.

I remember seeing this when I was a young teenager. This later went on to become a TV series about an undercover police detective. It wasn't very good but it was novel at the time because there were few African American females as lead stars back then.

I haven't seen a Pan Grier movie yet to compare to this. I didn't think it was too bad though. So, this made-for-TV movie led to one season of a TV series and as expected with TV censors it was much tamer than the low budget blaxploitation flicks coming out at the time. Still Teresa Graves was smart and beautiful in this picture as she works undercover to outsmart drug runners and suppliers.
