The film Pimp is characterized by comical violence and sexuality that pushes the viewers good taste -- I advise people to only watch this if they do not mind such extreme content.

The style of filming is interesting and unorthodox, and some of the cinematic work was pleasing. The storyline jumps around a lot and demands the viewer to pay close attention to different plot changes.

I found it to be entertaining in its own way, although sometimes apparently crude for the mere sake of being crude. However, if you approach the film with this knowledge and view it just as some light entertainment it is not that bad of a film.

The comedy really does nothing original and follows a very predictable script. There were few things that happened which you could not predict -- if you have seen more than a handful of movies chances are you have seen this film before. It is the same plot line as any other comedy.

About halfway through the film I got sick of the plot line all together and was merely waiting for it to end.

Dane Cook is reasonably funny though personally he was not even the funniest in this film. Some of the comedy is worth a chuckle but overall it is a film that I would recommend people pass over without regretting.

When watching a Godard film one has to be in a certain mood -- it is best done sitting cross legged while wearing a striped shirt with a bottle of Cognac and an infinite supply of overpriced cigarettes. This one is stereotypically rough and hard to swallow all at once: a sort of symphony of ideas mating with a certain ruggedness brought to the screen by Godard.

It is shot beautifully yet not in a dishonest fashion -- the close-ups of Natasha and Ivan's faces are excellent and honest to their features; the film could never be popular portraying the pockmarked and wrinkled features of Eddie Constantine. Godard gives you what you want (that is, if you want the truth).

Full of excellent quips and quotations -- a spoof of a genre yet at the same time a flattering to it in its' own right.

Godard is a genius and you should watch this film, to put it simply.
