Featured reviews
It is over the top, it is a ridiculous story, but it is incredibly funny, really light hearted, and some hilarious references.
Do not judge until having seen it....
But then again i guess this is a Marmite film, you either "love it or you hate it"
If you cannot find anything funny in this film at all, and you sat there claiming you have wasted an hour of your life, step outside take a deep breath, and lighten up.
A good job by ICP in my opinion
The plot basically amounts to ruthless drug lord versus smooth renegade cop, an obvious parody of the blaxploitation cliché. The execution is certainly quite a bit more ambitious than what you'd expect from a movie made by musicians, especially considering the band's only two members don't appear on screen together until the last quarter of the movie. Since both the villain and the protagonist both wear face paint during all scenes of the picture, you can expect a great deal of heavy-handed silliness. However, when the plot turns serious, you care about the characters without things becoming corny or over done. There are still obvious complaints, arising primarily from poor acting, which isn't surprising. On the other hand, the underlying quality of this film is surprising, and makes it worth a view when you're in the mood for a cult film that is strangely entertaining.
But it's ONLY 4 JUGGALOS! Don't you dare watch this movie if you aren't a fan of ICP.
And if you are, there's enough Clown Love for everyone!
I would heavily recommend it to anyone who would just like to laugh at a movie that you really don't have to pay attention to, though you won't be able to take your eyes off of it. It's got a certain draw to it.
It is riddled with little jokes in the background which make for good re-viewing enjoyment. I've seen it numerous times and every time I watch it I notice something I hadn't before. Good movie, and a hell of a lot more entertaining than 8 Mile. Of course, it also helps to have an open mind when watching it. Most people that don't like it just don't want to like it and nit pick. But overall, I'd give it a 4 out of 5 stars.
