Should I even bother to watch this movie?


I mean, since there isn't that many people who has commented on this movie, that's why maybe I should ask.

See it. It got the "Idiocracy" treatment from Universal -- i.e. they had no idea what to do with it, do they did ZERO promotion. If it was dumb and full of murder and ass I'm sure there would have been a much bigger ad budget.

Interesting, I never thought of that cuz this movie is so much better than many other popular movies in its genre (hood flics)and any other genre for that matter. Like the Friday sequels fr'instance.

No. Hood flick? I think you mean Jigga Boo flick. To those posting that this movie is good or aight or that it deserves a rating higher than a 6, you are sadly mistaken. Saw it on BET and it was really aweful. I was confused as to whether it was supposed to be a comedy, drama or what. There was way too much talking, unnecessary violence and the characters seemed stereotypical rising to the level of caricatures in a minstrel show. Plot holes a plenty, several scenes ploded along and became overdone. I was dissapointed as I like some of Beanie's music. This was just a Roca-Fella/Dame Dash vanity joint. "Baby Boy", "Boys N Da Hood", "Fridays", "Soul Plane" or whatever dosent matter what the movie comparison, this movie was poorly directed, poorly acted and poorly made. We can do better. It deserves a 2 and that's being generous.
