In the Mix By David DiCerto Catholic News Service NEW YORK (CNS) -- "In the Mix" (Lions Gate) is a lame romantic comedy about a New York disc jockey (hip-hop artist Usher) who, after taking a bullet for a mobster (Chazz Palminteri), is hired to keep a watchful eye on the Mafioso's grown daughter (Emmanuelle Chriqui), with whom he has an affair against her father's wishes. Director Ron Underwood's interracial romance is a mix of plot cliches and character stereotypes clumsily held together by a contrived script. The film contains some violence, sexual situations and sexual humor, as well as sporadic crude language. The USCCB Office for Film & Broadcasting classification is A-III -- adults. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is PG-13 -- parents are strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. - - - DiCerto is on the staff of the Office for Film & Broadcasting of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
