type_mitch One of the first Jamie Fox films I ever saw years ago and loved it! He is really funny in this movie and you could see he was going to be a big star. Its definitely not a film everyone would enjoy but if you like films like 'Friday' and anything with the Wayans brothers you will be laughing out loud. There are a good few scenes that were extremely funny, in-particular the supermarket scenes where the main characters visit several times during one crazy night and are ridiculed by the two staff who do remind me of Apu from the Simpsons. Also the scene where Rushon and Bunz (Jamie Fox) wrap themselves in cling-film made me cry with laughter! Vivica A Fox was good in the film as well but the show is stolen by Jamie Fox. Highly recommend this movie.Great 'pick me up' film.
TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews I haven't seen too many of these "black" comedies, only this and The Wash, but I guess it's somewhat good. The Wash was definitely better, but this is pretty much the same style, so if you like one, you probably will like the other. If the choice is between this and The Wash, I'd choose the latter. But that isn't to say that this is bad. It just isn't as good as it could've been. The plot is something a lot of guys will recognize, the hunt for a booty call. This is sort of a "what if" scenario, dealing with the question: "What if you had to go through a lot of ridiculous trials to get the booty?" And some of the trials are truly ridiculous. But far-out isn't the same as bad; a lot of the humor is good, as long as you can take some rough, gross & extreme humor. There are a lot of semi-nude scenes, and sex scenes, but never any direct nudity. I don't know if this is to open it up to more audiences; I guess there are people who don't care about sexual humor but can't stand to see some nudity. If you've seen The Wash, or something similar, and you liked it, maybe you should check this out. Just keep your expectations reasonably low, so you don't get disappointed. 6/10
bob the moo Rushon has a date with Nikki – who he has been seeing for 7 weeks without `getting up in there'. Nikki has asked that Roshon brings a friend for her friend Lysterine so Roshon brings along his hood rat friend Bunz. Despite a terrible date and constant bickering between Bunz and Lysterine the four hit it off and separate to their rooms to, well, get it on. However Nikki's insistence on safe sex sends the two men out on a quest for contraceptives that lead them into several adventures.I approached this with all the caution one would give to a rattlesnake in your bathroom. I knew it was going to one of those basic ethnic comedies where the main laughs will come from the characters acting in the stereotypical way black characters do in comedies and by saying `your ass' at the end of every sentence. Sadly I was bang on the money.To call the story a `plot' is doing it a great disservice – this is no more than a couple of sketches thrown together with one thread holding it as one film. We have 1: the date, 2: the shops and 3: the hospital. And that's it! This doesn't matter as long as it's funny – but the humour here is aimed at an undemanding black audience. It's also crude, racist, lazy and relies on the characters arguing in loud fast voices and saying `motherf*cker' and `ass' every few minutes.Sadly this is still funny if you're in the mood! As much as I wanted to hate it I still enjoyed it. Many of the sketches are amusing and some of the dialogue is good. However too much of it is lazy ethnic stuff. Some scenes smack badly of racism – like Bunz insulting Indian shopkeepers by telling them to go back to Pakistan or calling a diner at a Chinese restaurant `Bruce Lee'. Can you imagine a white character in a `white' film getting away with that?However the bad taste is usually removed by the next good line so it's not too bad. Foxx is not a great actor – I find him to be a poor man's Martin Lawrence or Eddie Murphy and he really just overplays his `hood rat' character to the hilt. Davidson is his straight-man and is not memorable as a result. Jones is cute and looks great in that white lingerie and Fox is as sexy as ever despite a terrible hairdo. However both the women are both black woman stereotypes and do the whole hand-waving, head-wiggling thing too much. The most surprising bit of casting was Art Malik as one of the shop keepers – he'd already done City of Joy and True Lies, so why did he decide that a role in this would be the way to go?Overall this is very basic and really pretty poor. The plot could be written on the back of an matchbox, the jokes are crude at best and racist at worst and it's very hit and miss – even if you're in the mood. Sadly I still enjoyed it and found it funny. If you like this type of thing then this will please you no ends.
kotruckin This is a comedy about two friends trying to get some. One is, but the other is not getting too lucky. He has to earn it. I think this movie is a movie that will make you laugh a lot. It is like The Wood, and more of a How to be a Player in a way. A very funny romantic comedy. I think it is highly recommended for those who like this kind of comedy.
