Wow, Janet and Tupac had almost zero chemistry!

I agree the chemistry wasn't there. Also, in an interview Tupac openly said that Janet turned her back on him when the movie was done.
Of course Janet would say that in 2004, with Tupac long gone and being a rap music icon. In '93, when the movie came out, Tupac and his music wasn't really that popular. -

Why would she even mention it if she didn't feel it? I'm sure she feels the actions of her people childish not that we know a lot more about aids.
In 93' Tupac was super popular! What are you talking about? -

In 1993 Tupac wasn't that popular, really. He's an icon now, but back then, his first album just came out. Even though Juice came out a few years earlier, I don't think that the verdict was really out on Tupac at that point in his career; and he was still popular in mostly rap circles. Though you say he was super popular, he didn' cross over like he did in 1995 and especially in 1996. Strictly For My beep went platinum but didn't have any top 10 hits. Lots of people who were buying rap bought his CD, but its not like "Holler If You Hear Me", "Trapped", or "When My Homies Call" were hit records. They weren't. My memory of that time was that he was coming up, but he wasn't quite "there" yet. When it comes to rap, 90% of the time I am right.

^People now have successful albums and don't have top 10 hits (Nicki Minaj has released 5 videos and no top 10 hits from her album). Sure, Tupac wasn't the icon he is today but he wasn't some nobody. Wasn't the height of his popularity but he was far from a nobody.

^ Right. Pac was steadily ascending by the time this movie came out. He had already had his debut album and had been in Juice. This movie came just weeks/months before "I Get Around" and
Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z.
He was only 30 seconds away from being superstar '2Pac' when this movie came out. -

I think their performances were well aligned with a story that dictated there be noticeable tension and slight resistance between them until the very end when they finally learn to drop their guard and feel totally comfortable with each other. I enjoyed the chemistry between Pac and Janet and the movie connected with me because of it.

I still like the movie, but their lack of chemistry does take away from the movie. They did make a beautiful couple based on looks, but the romance was not believable.
