Long-form music video, great movie to watch while drinking
Two cats from Miami enjoy some French cheddar..($$$)
This movie is nowhere near as bad as it's reputation. The acting is better in this movie than in most daytime soap operas. Prince & Jerome Benton are actually quite funny. That may be due to the fact that they're friends in real life. The worst part about this movie is the way Prince dresses in most of it. The soft white jumpsuit with the (hijab-like) headpiece was terrible. Prince overacts towards the end of the film. The jokes are somewhat ethnic without trying to be. The scene that comes to mind is when Tricky is suggesting that he could wed Mary Sharon. Christopher implies that if Tricky even approached Mary, the police would lock him up. Christopher gets into some dialog about being light-skinned(butterscotch) and Tricky being dark-skinned(chocolate) and how they have different fathers. This is to suggest that he wouldn't bail Tricky out of jail once he's locked up. Trickey informs Christopher that he'll "Slap the waves out yo head!". Prince & Jerome Benton were "Bling Bling" before the "Bling Bling Era" came into fashion during the mid 90's. Overall, the movie is a 6.5 on a 1-10 scale.
