428248, that movie was almost uniformly horrible

I paid $2.50...and felt cheated.

If it wasn't for Sharon Leal - whose talents are COMPLETELY wasted, mind you - the shit wouldn't have been worth the film it was shot on.

Horrible script full of plot holes and poorly solved story points (He broke him out of jail? O RLY?)

A comedy full of old hat gags that just don't work (I only laughed once - it was the joke about the two white women on the balcony)

That annoying white guy with the glasses

That annoying wannabe Ludacris dude who was the "villain"

Sam and Mack doing some of the most horrible "singing" ever used on film.

Isaac Hayes hobbling around looking like more of a cadaver than John Legend's character (I know that's not a nice thing to say, but Ike looked bad, y'all. i was almost ashamed they let him be captured on film like that).

The best thing about the film was the Bernie Mac tribute a the end. He does three improv stand-up jokes for the "Apollo" audience that are funnier than anything in the film proper.

Oh, and the color timing was nice too. Um, yay Technicolor.
