What a waste of my time!!!
The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
This is my latest pick for worst film ever made. Congratulations to C.K. for convincing anyone to make this let alone letting him direct. Hollywood is in a sad state of confusion regarding what is funny or commercial. They have always been out of touch with minorities and this proves it. I just saw part of it and it is unwatchable. To think all these talented actors participated and embarrassed themselves with the worst acting possible. The director ultimately has to take the blame. I feel sorry for anyone who wasted $8 and 3 hours going to the movies to see this. It's a wonder that Louis CK has any career left as this would usually sink it. This gives hope to all the real filmmakers who can actually write and direct. This film gives me hope that I will succeed in creating a film worth watching, entertaining and meaningful. Even the outtakes during credits are boring.
This movie gets no respect even from it's own writers and actors! That's OK. I really like this movie. And listen, I watch movies that movie snobs/nerds would really go for: from Big Lebowski to Cool Hand Luke, back around to Chinatown, Vertigo or Superman 2. I have Netflix, people! NETFLIX!I own the DVD and have actually watched it over and over. It's very short. It's good for parties. It's super silly in a way that you would expect from Louis C.K., Chris Rock, Dave Atell and David Cross. It's just some weird, stupid take on a Blaxploitation movie. I'll admit: it MAY not be your thing, and that's AOK. But I really like this movie.
I hate this movie, since the first couple of minutes time went slower and slower. Acting is awful even from Mr. Rock, I don't know has he ever acted good, but not in this movie anyway. Script is the most stupidest I'v ever seen. When I borrowed this movie I thought "Hey this might be some low-brain-activity-movie" but it turned out to be waste-of-my-money-and-never-getting-that-time-back-movie. I hope no one else does this horrible mistake of borrowing or buying this movie. I tell you all, this movie sucks and it doesn't suck in a normal "teenage-comedy" kind a way but a "plain-stupid" kind a way.Thanks a lot Mr. Rock and MTV for wrecking my life.
This movie is so funny i see it every time i get the chance. Pootie tang speaks in the strangest language that makes it kind of fun to try to figure out what he says The girls go crazy for him and the bad guys fear him cause he can whip anyones ass with just his belt. That is just funny as h*ll when a guy dances to funny music and whoops five, six, guys with guns with only his belt.This movie is the funniest movie ever. gotta see. when i first saw this movie i had to tell all my friends about it, i told my brother first and waited until it came out on HBO and told him when it was on so he could watch it, he said, "that movie is stupid" and i admit it, it is a stupid movie but funny as hell, so i told him but it did make you laugh and of course it did it made him laugh a lot, and then i showed it to other friends and it made all of them laugh cause its just that freaking funny
