User Review
Great Film!!
Rating: 10/10
I loved this film. and guess what I am white! most people seem to feel
the film is racist.. i don't see it myself.. Jamie Fox is so funny and
i love the love triangles in the film. there's slight confusion in a
few parts of the film tho that still confuse me. I like the girl
actress. Jamie Foxx's best mate was a little tiresome, but i loved the
humour. in this film. i loved the soundtrack too. Id be interested in
buying this on DVD and watching it again as it was an A Class film!! i
though this film would be "typical black comedy" but it proved me
totally wrong. I want the soundtrack too as some of the songs were
amazing. Also the female singer in the 2nd club scene was amazing, if
she isn't a real singer she should be. She has an amazing voice. My
favourite part of the film.. well i don't know its all really funny
stuff. I watched it with my boyfriend, he agreed on the soundtrack and
the humour. I would recommend this film to all ages. Excellent !! *
Highly ReccommendS*
