Should have recieved an academy award nomination in my opinion. Yes it is bad. But its got Ice Cube in it! Make no mistake this is a pretty bad film but in that vein it excels. Parts of it are so bad you can't help but enjoy the hell out of it I just recently saw the review by some homie who accused this movie to be a blatant rip off of Friday. With all due respect to the dude because he from tha N. Simple because the comedian Anthony "AJ" Johnson was naturally funnier than Chris Tucker as smokey because he didn't have to use his trademark or gimmick like Chris Tucker to be funny, such as the bobbin of the head when he puts emphasis on a particular word like "MAN"!
Perfect example, when he was having a exchange with Sheryl Underwood's character in the movie, he said she looked like Wesley Snipes when he did the movie: I am not a fan of Master P's music or movies, but I would rather sit through one of his CD's for an hour than be forced to watch his cinematic exploits. When I think of his movies, one of the titles sticks out, Foolish.
This sums up what all of his movies are. The acting is terrible, the scripts are lame, confusing, non existent, or a combination of all three. He just cranked out junk to add money to his growing empire. When a producer casts his family, friends, and label mates in all his films, this should be a clue it definitely won't be nominated for an Oscar.
Granted, AJ Johnson is funny in most of his roles, but when given nothing to work with, what can you do?
Production Notes from IMDbPro
Master P thinks he is the next Ice Cube. Wake up call, Ice Cube has talent, something Master P seriously lacks. I think the movie viewing public will be safe for a while from being tortured by another No Limit movie production considering almost everyone on the label is either facing some type of criminal charge or serving time for being found guilty on charges brought against them.
As long as video cameras and crew are not allowed inside prisons, we should be OK for at least years. The scene where his mum and dad went to bail Blue?? She was sprinkling Holy water!!!. She was cursing all the demons in the form of prisoners to disappear.
That scene almost killed me. I actually laughed and ended up weeping. When some of the prisoners heckled her, she shouted at them, "Your Mama, All your mamas". That's one of my fave jail scenes of all time. Everybody's being too harsh on this movie. It contains some genuinely surreal comic moments and AJ Johnson makes the film watchable even when nothing else does. Sure Master P is about as articulate and emotive as Shaquille O'Neal, but that doesn't stop the supporting characters and nutty, irreverent script from elevating this above the typical "'hood comedy" formula.
Where else can you find a "differently-abled" street gang, a dope-smoking grandma, a crackhead willing to do anything for "T-T-Two dollars", and John Witherspoon?
I Got the Hook-Up - Wikipedia
OK probably a bunch of films but this one is worth a look anyway. I quote nearly as many lines from this one as I do from "Friday". For the right kind of person, this movie is very entertaining. Black and Blue are two street hustlers who run a ghetto superstore. When they take delivery of a load of mobile phones they think they have it made and start selling them like hot cakes.
John Witherspoon: Mr. Mimm
However when their phones interfere with a radio broadcast, sending details of a money stash out over the air, the two men become the target of a local criminal. Meanwhile the mobile phone company are investigating the new numbers when Black's girlfriend Lorraine is unable to keep them all covered. This film is awful - yet more cheap crap banged out by No-Limit to try and add to Master P's bank book without any thought of quality control - how very like everything he does!
The plot is, well, non-existent. It is merely a series of stupid jokes and scenes with little cohesion. The whole thing seems to be put together for two reasons, 1 to feed Master P's ego and 2 the mis-belief that black people want to see Ricki Lake characters. I have no idea but P seems to be having fun. The second thing is seen all through the film in that every character is a joke - a real annoying joke.

Squealing and swearing non-stop every character is irritating and unlikeable and, true to form, any white person is a racist who is brought low by a black man or a snivelling nerd. Such lazy writing is just plain annoying and it doesn't work. Worst of all is the fact that none of it is funny - none. I half smiled twice at the rapid mouth action of Blue but that was forced on my side. P is an awful actor - I saw him mugging in Dark Angel as well, but here he is worse.
He seems to believe that he just needs to swagger and mumble to look cool and he is sadly mistaken. Johnson is a little better because he makes fun of himself more than P does but even this is lazy swearing and mugging stuff. I think anyone who thinks they have seen a lame comedy should watch this film just to see how bad a bad comedy really is. In the beginning I was a little skeptical of this flick, but after 15 minutes I was wetting my pants. Although the film was hilarious from start to finish, I must admit it did get a little tedious in the last few seens.
It is a definate watch, fo sheesy. I've seen plenty of horrible movies in my life but this one takes the cake. I want everyone to see this though, for a laugh. I still don't understand what the f'n thing was about. Cell phones were important in this film, that's what the "plot" of the movie centered around. Other than that I'm at a loss.
I can't imagine that a script was written for this. I'm quite sure a few people turned on a couple of cameras and yelled "do something". That's has to be what making this moving entailed. Cable access is quality compared to this piece of junk.
