Overall the mini-movie part of the DVD was alright, but not grip-to-the-edge kind of seat interesting. It's just what he said it was in the making of the mini-movie: making videos for the bonus tracks on the Confessions special edition CD and joining them into one small movie. I give it 2 stars. It's also wonderful that Usher included all the music videos from "Confessions." That saved me a lot of VHS tape and time.

Now the bonus audio CD is easy listening. I give it 3 stars. It's really nice how the first couple of songs show how much he loves a special someone (or USED to love *cough* but I'm not getting into that part right now). In "Dot com" Usher compares body parts to computers and in "Doin The Most" he shows his appreciation and gratitude for the lady he loves. "It Is What It Is" the relationship has gone sour and Usher won't admit he made a mistake and ends up faulting his lady for it- which I think is not fair at all. Love is a just a chance we take. Jermaine Dupri helps end the CD with the club track "What You Need." This song has a good beat to it, good lyrics (I love the Ooo la la la at the end part), and helps end this whole audio CD on the positive note that it started out on.

The biggest male R and Bee performer since 'any' preditor type currently on the charts (or in the courtroom) put out this long form video earlier 2005, and with all that is going on in the world--ridiculous gas prices, kids getting killed in our streets and in Bagdadian streets, global warming--all he has to offer is some slick choreography and booty chasin'...? What!?!? The mysterious lady busting the ballers is allegory for...? Was she an alien? Can you give me more plot here? Plus, I've seen better creep outs in the tongue in cheek 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer'. (As an aside: Usher's idol paid 7 million dollars to put together 'Scream' the video and they're still playing it on VH-1 some 10 years after...) To this DVD's credit it has all the videos from his monster hit, last year's Confessions and a bonus CD with new, rare Usher tunes.

Usher - Rhythm City Vol 1:Caught Up is a long form video with four singles from Usher's Confessions album which are all linked together. My favorite segment of the DVD was the Seduction video.

Sound quality at start of video was very poor. Audible crackles. Also there are only 3 videos. Did not feel as if I got my money's worth.

I first saw this video at my sister-in-law's house and loved it so much I went on the hunt for it. When I finally found it, I bought two extra for some friends who I knew would love it also. It is entertaining and well made. The cast of characters is great. This is one of those videos you can put on during a party to add to the party vibe. GREAT VIDEO....

this was a total michael jackson rip off. I tried not to compare it to michael and enjoy it for what it was since I've always liked usher's tunes, but I was reminded of all his videos from smooth criminal/moonwalker to thriller to you rock my world to don't stop till you get enough to beat it to billie jean. Get mj's mini movie moonwalker instead, or even janet's rhythm nation 1814(gee I wonder if there is connection between rhythm nation and rhythm city....) long form video if you have appreciation for good dancing and music and want to see some more awesome dancing in addition to rhythm city

this has to be the dumbest thing usher could have done. why does he want to be like michael jackson so much? smh, even michael jackson pissed me off this this kind of crap. some people just love to much attention.

Hey! Whas up people! What I gotta say is that I thought that the mini movie was great. It's just Usher doing what he was born to do. he's just a great all-around entertainer. He has great acting skills to me. I think he really knows how to put you in the character and make you believe it. I loved the cameos in it. That scene in the beginning with Sean "P. Diddy" Combs and Naomi Campbell was hilarious to me. Actress Joy Bryant was on point. The dances in between were hot. I'm telling you... if you do not have this DVD, it is a must have. Check it out y'all
