Sprung

When I first saw Sprung in 1998, I was overwhelmed at how real I related to the female characters about men and relationships. I have watched this movie about 20 times. I feel as if I could really base this movie on my life, because it seems so real. I wholeheartedly relate to this movie. Rusty Cundieff is a real down to earth character. I really respect and admire him alot.

Overall this is not a great movie but it does contain the funniest sex scene of all time. It is worth it just to see that.

I like the music that played in this film. My favourite song was "You Want This Party Started" by Somethin' For The People because it sounds really well. It played when Clyde & his friend Montel were getting ready to go to the party. I've been looking for the song's title but I wasn't successful finding out what & whom performed it until Saturday September 29, 2018. It is a really good song but UNFORTUNATELY, it is NOT included in the Original Soundtrack for this film.

Sprung can be summed up in one word, Average. There is nothing that makes this movie very bad but there is also nothing that makes it very good either. Tisha Campbell gives an above average performance as one of the few level headed character in the film but the other three leads didn't quite measure up to her. As for the plot, it's funny most of the time it tries to be. But the movie begins to drag considerably in the second half when the writers shift focus from all comedy to mostly the love story. While Sprung did have some nice innovations, they couldn't make up for the inconsistent plot and some sub-par acting.

I recently watched Sprung (1997) on Tubi. The storyline follows a pair of guy friends and a pair of girlfriends in search of their perfect match. They attend the same party but initially don't find what they're looking for until they're on their way out. One guy and one girl believe they're compatible, while the other two friends foresee a potential booty call. The booty call couple thinks their friends are getting too serious and attempt to sabotage their relationship.

Directed by and starring Rusty Cundieff (Fear of a Black Hat), the film also features Tisha Campbell (Martin), Paula Jai Parker (Hustle & Flow), John Witherspoon (Friday), Joe Torry (Tales from the Hood), and Clarence Williams III (Half Baked).

While the male main character can be annoying, overall, Sprung unfolds as a fun film to watch. The cast and soundtrack are impressive, with the acting fitting the characters perfectly. Joe Torry's performance is particularly hilarious and memorable. Several sequences feel like sketch comedy, especially the reenactment scenes, which brought a smile to my face. Though the comedic content is hit or miss, there are enough hits to keep you entertained. The storyline is a rollercoaster ride with a predictable but satisfying conclusion.

Overall, Sprung is a solid addition to the comedy genre, featuring a strong cast and enough enjoyable moments to keep you smiling. I would score this a 6/10 and recommend seeing it at least once.
