So I'm a huge Gambino fan to the point where if anything Gambino related comes out, I'll automatically try to find all the good in it instead of the bad. Often times, I let my fandom get in the way of quality, but Glover is a man of quality. When I heard this project was going to happen, I had high hopes for it. All I knew is Hiro Murai was going to direct it which was a great sign, Glover would be in it, and he's bringing Rihanna along for the ride, how can he mess this up. And while it is his project, it's written by his brother. I liked this film, but I'm not letting my fandom get in the way of how I genuinely see this film as a film. It was structurally broken at points and I feel as if it used the excuse of being short to get away with less story telling. But the animated story at the beginning didn't do much for me and felt very cliche. The film only strived with the way it was shot and the music scenes, however since his music plays at points out of nowhere, it takes away from the movie and seems like either filler or just Donald giving us what he has already given us and that's a bit disappointing to me. Nothing in this film was new music wise and it feels like wasted potential to do something big. But again, I am a fan, and I overall enjoyed it, it does however have many flaws that hold it down from being way better. So would I recommend it? That depends, if you're a Glover/Gambino fan then go check it out, but if you don't like him, or are not a fan of his, you might want to steer clear from this one. 3/5

This movie was great! I went into this one completely blind not knowing anything other than the poster as I like to do with most of the films I see. The soundtrack worked very well, the story was very engaging, and the acting was stellar! Despite everyone doing exceptionally well in this film, Jonah Hill completely stole the show and I'd consider this to be his best acting year yet! And by the end, I was amazed that I was watching a biography the whole time (as I didn't know this was the case while I was watching). It also had a great message that doesn't come off as pretentious. Go check it out if you love films by Gus, or if you like any of the actors involved. The only criticisms I have are personal preference as I would like to see more zoom ups that didn't remind me of the one used in The Office, and I didn't think the directing wasn't anything noteworthy. But that really doesn't take away from the film. It's all preference. 8/10

This was so much fun! If you have Prime or are just Interested in this movie, go watch it. Also a good one for the family. Go check it out! 10/10
