5.0 out of 5 stars Jamaican Street Vendor Makes Good, May 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Dancehall Queen [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Marcia has problems. She's barely surviving as a Kingston higgler, her 15 year old daughter, Tanya, is fending off advances from lecherous, 40-something year old "Uncle Larry," and she hasn't had a good man in a long, long time.

When a seemingly unrelated incident sets off a tragic chain of events that leaves her good friend Sonny dead and her brother Junior scared for his life, Marcia realizes that she must take matters into her own hands.

Set in the fascinating world of the Kingston dancehall scene (with a side trip into the go-go racket), the movie is truly a girl-power fairytale with a West Indian edge.

Remember, walk an' live. Talk an' bumbaclot dead!

Note: If you are not fluent in Jamaican patois, watch this movie with a friend from the islands. Or watch it over and over, until you get it. It is worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a dancehall ting!!!!, July 13, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Dancehall Queen (DVD)

Wow, dancehall Queen is not just one of the best jamaican films i ever saw, but one the best ever. I am a Jamaican, so i could relate to the things in this movie. The acting was great and so was the music. It is about a strong Jamaican woman, who tries to make ends meet by becoming a dancer. She is also very loud,she's doesn't let any man disrespects her and if you "Come too close you might get burn". There is a lot of obstacles in her way to overcome. I ain't saying no more, bottom line this is a really good dancehall film. "She's a dancehall queen for life,got her explode like dynamite"!!!!!
