zegerv Don't waste your time watching this terrible movie. It combines elements from popular movies, but fails in bringing a narrative that is either interesting or logical. The comedic aspect of it was campy at best and the drama unrealistic, which is sad because the movie had a lot of potential.

peefyn The acting, the soundtrack, the setting, the plot and the comedy were all great in this movie. It had its slow moments, but mostly the story keeps racing on in a thrilling pace. I do wish that there had been more actual 90s rap in this movie, for reasons that are obvious if you have seen the movie, but I did like the soundtrack they wound up using too.The ending lends itself to a good discussion. The moral of the story seems to be a bit darker than what really fits the rest of the picture, where the main character has to make some choices to get what he wants, because of the circumstances he is in. Now, this could be seen as him facing reality, looking away from his own world view - and that is how I prefer to look at it. But it could easily also be seen as him giving up his ideals, and getting pressured into doing what's expected from him (in some sense, I am being very vague here so that it can't be considered a spoiler).

2fresh 2clean "Dope" is alright but it could have been better. Because I grew up in a time when Hip Hop was really Hip Hop I was very interested in seeing what this film had to offer since it is a film about an inner city youth who emulates the styles of 80's and 90's Hip Hop and who tries to survive the gangs and drugs of the hoods of Los Angeles. In fact after seeing the trailer I was kind of excited and itching to see this film but when I finally saw it my expectations fell a little short, not so short to where I didn't enjoy the film just short enough for me to knock one star off of its rating. The premise and the story-line are good but a bit simple but I do like the message the films gives about making the right choices in life. The performances in this film are OK they're not anything Oscar worthy. As for the comedic side of this film, there were some funny parts but there were a lot of parts that were meant to be funny but in my opinion they were not funny. I see this a lot in some "hood" comedies. Of course with the drama it was the usual geek likes girl, geek gets girl at the end kind of film. But I'm not complaining. If the writers of this film had tried a little harder I think this film would have been a little bit better, not saying that they did a bad job because they didn't. Like I said before, it's not as good as I thought it would be but it's not bad at all.

Kalyan Bk Amazing movie seen in recent times.Had a great story and really awesome performances from the leads. And at the last he makes us think.I say it's a must watch for everyone who love something different and it was not boring though,was fun and interesting every scene had something to it...Movie is Dope, and it's true about all these drug stuff.
