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!
Merlin's quest for fame as a magician in Las Vegas takes an unexpected twist in this intriguing proposal. The idea of turning a weekend in Vegas into a movie venture, avoiding the typical Hangover narrative, suggests creativity. Envisioning a Black Full Monty with the talented kid from All American brings a unique angle. The stacked cast, coupled with director Chris Spencer's connections, hints at a promising project. Debuting at the Martha's Vineyard Film Festival in 2023 adds an exciting goal. In a comedy drought, this concept stands out-a refreshing and funny prospect to get us laughing again. 🎬😄
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.
This is not Magic Mike... that part of the story line is the pretext at this romantic Afroamerican comedy. The rhythm is good. No down time. Made my laugh out loud lots of times as much from the bad suggestive dance moves then from the flow of Afroamerican slang especially by women to describe sex, the male member or to insult one and other. Being a white single 60's French Canadian man... it seems to me that it was too much not to be stereotyping? But then again maybe not... As it was funny. And like it a good romantic comedy true love does blossom at the end... in a frenetic last scene. One scene toward the end seems to have needed more writing...
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.
