What a fantastic movie! Wow! I loved, loved, loved this movie!
If there was ever a movie that was built for the dollar theater back in the day, this was it!
What an incredible concept and amazing, pretty much flawless execution on film.
The late director Ted Demme. His touch on this is masterful.
It's dang near an action film. Very similar, a close relative to New Jack City, which is from this same glorious era in movies and I also adore much the same.
I remember seeing the videocassette box of this in the video store and just thinking it was some silly urban comedy, because that is how they literally packaged it, but it is so much more than that.
Yes, it is funny, but make no mistake, this sucker is gritty too.
I love it.
Funny and gritty.
Old school New York.
Rappers playing normal roles of normal people. Unannounced cameos.
It's so great.
Most of today's youth wouldn't even realize these dudes are rappers.
And Denis Leary and Colin Quinn.
Bernie Mac too?
This movie rules!
And all from the director of Beautiful Girls?
Who knew?
Not me!
But I definitely know now.
Who the Man is!
