I understand that Jada was not available for this, being in such high demand, and eventually being in the crappy Inkwell

They may BE from the ghetto but whatever "ghetto" they had in them (if they ever actually had any; I doubt. Papa Joe and Mama Kate had those kid's manners down on lock), got up and went a long time ago probably before they were even adults. The Jacksons were never street kids. Papa Joe had those kids doing dance drills in the basement every night, especially the boys.

Nope!
The fact that Janet didn't seem to fit in with the cast actually fits her character who is emotionally isolated after experiencing so much loss. Lucky and Justice are not suppose to get a long and the real life struggle between the two actors trying to relate to one another fits their roles. Also Janet and Tupac look extremely hot together.
Jada tends to over act and chews the scenery, she lacks subtlety and she and Tupac look like homies from the same hood. It would not have worked with any other actress but Janet. Maybe Thandie Newton if she could mask her accent. She also looked great with Tupac and she has the same "trying to fit in" quality that Janet has. -

I agree with you. JJ had no real acting instincts or chemistry with the rest of the cast. She's a beauty and knows how make appropriate faces and looks that's about it. She hasn't been very good in Tyler Perry's movies either. Jada is a real actress. But a good part of the lead cast of this movie is like a roster of anything but actors. Janet. Tupac. Joe Tory. Q-Tip. Tone Loc. Probably because rappers, comics and athletes make up a larger demographic of black entertainment than actors.
