In the Mix is a 2005 American romantic crime comedy-drama film directed by Ron Underwood and starring Usher, Chazz Palminteri, and Emmanuelle Chriqui.

The film's plot follows Darrell, a popular DJ who is hired to play music at a party for Frank, a mob leader.

While working in New York's hottest night club, disc jockey Darrell Williams is asked to DJ a party for his friend Frankie Jr.'s mob boss father Frank, whom Darrell's father worked for.

Frank is planning a surprise party for his daughter Dolly, who is coming home from law school for summer break.

At the party, Darrell takes a bullet meant for Frank and saves his life.

After he tries to assign her Jackie, he tells her anyone in the house is qualified to escort her, and she picks Darrell.

The next morning, Dolly attempts to tell her father about her relationship with Darrell, but his bodyguard Fish comes in.

Frank Jr. follows his father to the club, and activates the strobe light and fog machine to distract the kidnappers.

The website's critics consensus reads, "Fans may get a kick out of seeing Usher showcasing his charm on screen, but the movie itself is tone deaf and inconsequential, even by rom-com standards.

"[2] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted score of 31 based on 15 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".
