The Janky Promoters

I totally loved this movie.. Ice Cube , Mike Epps, and Young Jeezy just flat out made me laugh all the way thru,, our story goes that there are 2 buddies who bill themselves as amateur music promoters, and well they actually get their shot at it to promote a Young Jeezy concert.. things start to fall apart.. 1000 dollars is needed to get the ball rolling and our characters are about flat broke,, they try all kind of schemes to get the money,, stealing from their girlfriends.. anything at all that they can do to get the money,, a lot of their plans misfire and they are on the verge of not being able to promote Mr Jeezy, you will have to watch and see if the boys can get their act together and make everything okay in the rap music world... ton of laughs..well worth the price of admission.

Janky Promoters is a 2009 comedy that centers around two shady promoters who get in over their heads when they book a rap superstar to perform at their show.

Starring Ice Cube and Mike Epps, Janky Promoters is a decent comedy that should please any fans of the Friday series. The main characters are obnoxious and silly but also quite funny as they run around town preparing for their big show while avoiding their responsibilities (like paying bills). Cube and Epps make a perfect comedy tag team and once again show their hilarious abilities on the big screen.

I thought this was a pretty good movie, and if you haven't seen it before, I would recommend checking it out.

I recently watched Janky Promoters (2009) on Tubi. The storyline follows two unsuccessful, shady promoters heavily in debt. When they get the chance to promote an up-and-coming rapper, they see it as their shot at redemption. Can they finally get it right, or will they mess up this opportunity too?

Directed by Marcus Raboy (Friday after Next), the film stars Ice Cube (Friday), Mike Epps (Friday after Next), Lahmard J. Tate (Barbershop), Jeezy (Hustlers), Aloma Wright (Mrs. Deeds), and Glenn Plummer (Strange Days).

Janky Promoters is a well-written comedy (penned by Ice Cube) featuring an impressive cast and soundtrack. The comedic content aligns perfectly with the spirit of the "Friday" series. Cube and Epps have fantastic chemistry, supported by standout performances from Tate and the legendary Pamela Grier (Coffy). Moments like the "did you get that on tape" sequence, the rental car scene, and the Pam Grier interrogation are comedic highlights.

In conclusion, Janky Promoters is a worthwhile addition to the comedy genre that's definitely worth your time. I'd give it a score of 6.5/10 and recommend seeing it at least once.

I watched this movie hoping the negative reviews were making it sound worse than it really is, and I was right. The movie is actually a good movie, or pretty decent. I didn't expect this film to be like the Friday films, which I also am a big fan of. But instead, just watched it because I like Ice Cube and Mike Epps. Being a fan of both, this movie was just more clowning, good story, and funny entertainment. I don't know why people are saying its stereotypical. I mean, who cares.. its just fun.

Nice character development and overall well written. Its got its high and low moments, and an ending that is kinda predictable but I didn't think that took away anything from the film. If you like Ice Cube and Mike Epps, give it a watch.

I wasn't quite willing to pay to watch this movie, but I didn't mind watching it for free. I hadn't heard of it and the trailer wasn't very convincing. Well, after having watched it I'm glad I did. It was very funny, and that's coming from a cautious and skeptical viewer.

What I believe was Ice Cube and Mike Epps fourth collaboration ("Next Friday," "The Friday After Next," and "All About the Benjamins" were the three prior) was on par with the quality of the rest. The two of them played concert promoters Russell Redds (Cube) and Jellyroll (Epps) who were trying to make a big concert happen in the sleepy town of Modesto, CA. They somehow figured out how to get Jeezy to Modesto to perform. If you know anything about Modesto you know it is a cowpoke city that's about 75 miles south of Oakland. There's nothing there but heat and agriculture. Their claim to fame is that the movie "American Graffiti" was filmed there.

Russell and Jellyroll are in way over their heads with this endeavor and a blind man can see it. They don't have much money to work with and they are constantly devising plans to get money. It's one hilarious thing after another as they try to put Modesto on the map and keep Jeezy from bailing on them. Both Epps and Cube were funnier than I'd ever seen them together. Cube especially stepped his game up and broke from his traditional deadpan style. "The Janky Promoters" was not a Janky movie.
