Critics Consensus: Fans may get a kick out of seeing Usher showcasing his charm on screen, but the movie itself is tone deaf and inconsequential, even by rom-com standards.

The failure is with a script as ungainly as it is and an oversimplified conception of American-Italian and black cultures.
This thing is as formulaically bland as the rest of its Tinseltown kind.
Usher, who has a squinty charm, is forced to display an infinite polite chivalry that would have shamed Sidney Poitier.
Played mostly as a drama but utterly devoid of tension, the film mainly comes across as recycled.
[A] one-dimensional romantic comedy that ... feels like an old-fashioned vehicle picture, the kind the big movie studios used to make in the 1930's and 40's just to bring in the fans of a particular actor or actress.
... pic is never too insulting to the viewer, and works up a fair amount of goodwill by the good graces of Usher's Will Smithian charisma and an extremely attractive filmmaking package ...
Easily engages the viewer in the same fashion as the best of the romance genre.
With its laughable dramatic sequences and goofy supporting characters, this film is hard to dismiss as entertainment: a camp treat for comics as well as Usher fans.
It's clearly conceived solely as a star vehicle for the ubiquitous Usher and his washboard abs, with plot coherence and originality coming in somewhere lower in the pecking order.
It's not exactly atrocious, but it constantly makes you wonder why those involved couldn't find something better to do.
People richer than you get paid to come up with this stuff.
In The Mix is not just mixed up, it is muddled.
Would be insufferable if it weren't already insignificant.

You don't need to see this movie. Really, you don't.
Another bad one that a friend made me see. It was boring.
