Back on the Strip

Fun feel good movie that with a stellar cast and just the right amount of heart. It's the perfect vehicle for these old school comedy legends and the script gives each an opportunity to showcase their comic talents. Wesley Snipes is the stand out as the ring leader of the crew and Spence Moore proves to be a true leading man. The Kevin Hart cameo is hysterical and I love everything Tiffany Haddish brought to the film. Perfect film for streaming if you want to have some big laughs. And the love story is sweet if you want a good date night flick. Didn't want it to end and would love to see a sequel one day. Definitely check it out!

I really enjoyed *Back on the Strip*. It's a lighthearted, unpretentious comedy that works perfectly thanks to its energy, timing, and playful spirit. The film doesn't try to be more than it is, and that's exactly what makes it so refreshing and entertaining.

What makes it even more special is the impressive cast. Seeing Wesley Snipes back on screen after such a long time is a real treat-he brings charisma and humor that remind us why he's such a memorable actor. Surrounded by a lively ensemble, including Kevin Hart, the film feels like a joyful reunion of talent.

Overall, *Back on the Strip* is a very successful comedy that delivers laughs, charm, and a great sense of fun. It's the kind of movie that doesn't take itself too seriously, and that's precisely why it's so enjoyable.

There are so many things that could have gone well with this movie, and I believe they had the cast to pull it off.

Young boy falls for girl, he loves magic. Moves to Las Vegas and starts stripping... Girl falls for jerk... Good foundation.

The bad.

Tiffany Haddish was a wreck, her humor is crass and ineffective, so she goes for shock with super inappropriate language that doesn't fit and is just uncomfortable.

Wesley Snipes character is effeminate. Not sure why, but it didn't bide well with me.

The rest of the show was OK, but those two pieces wrecked the movie and made it more so a "gotta get through this", rather than a "I don't want this to end" type movie.

Spence Moore did a great job and was entertaining. Bill Bellamy was awesome. J. B> Smoove was funny as ever. Faizon Love was as funny as he ever was.

Kevin Hart had a small part, super insignificant and not worth mentioning.

When I ask any film I ask myself one simple question, was I entertained? Yes I was. This has me laughing all the way through. The negative reviews are just people who are too serious in their film watching. It's a ridiculous comedy that's just meant to be stupid funny and it is.

The ensemble cast is on point with their roles. Gary Owen is one of my favorite comedians and though he plays his typical role in a black film, he still kills it. Wesley Snipes does who in this like he did in Dolemite's My Name. Tiffany Haddish mainly plays narrator telling the story of her son Merlin and his dream of becoming a Las Vegas magician and like all dreams, he gets hilariously sidetracked. Just watch and enjoy it for what it is, a silly comedy.

Back on the Strip features one of my favorite actors in Weslie Snipes but even his role in this is far from saving it. This latest comedy failed to come up with a compelling story or provide tons of laughs. Instead what we get is something that is flat, forced, and should have never been made. It's a shame as well because Weslie Snipes was in this along with Tiffany Haddish. I only rememberd laughing a couple of times and really wanted to turn it off early but I powered through. I really wish Studios would do more oversight on what movies they are green lighting before releasing. Back on the Strip gets a low 3 stars out of 10 from me.
