I'm Bout It

This is one of the most influential films ever made. Forget the script(?), and miscomings.Just enjoy it for what it is......a must own.Started the wave of hiphop straight to video flicks.If you don't get it...then maybe that's the point.

I'm Bout It is a rare black film, that's so bad it's good. The acting is horrible, camera angles and cinematography are all done with a home camera and the script doesn't flow. I mean you can't help but laugh when a man is tied up and sweaty, replies to his captors by saying f**k you, like he's gonna do something. Watch this film with boys, I guarantee it'll cheer you up.

This was filmed two blocks from where I lived, My dad had a church on Camp and Melpomene. I used to walk by those apartments to get the Schwegmans that was right there in the Funeral scene. Great movie by Masta P, rough, gritty but really shows the streets of New Orleans. That hood was BAD! Ambulances every night, every night someone got killed. My dad turned our church into a crack rehab center...it was at the peak of the crack epidemic. Master P shows the behind the scenes of the crack game in this one...as cheesy as it is it still captures that time period very well.

>>Pros: Absolutely none

>>Cons: I don't even know where to begin!

Plot summary: Master P plays a drug dealer that looks, talks, and acts more like a live-action cartoon character. That's all the plot I got out of this movie.

Review: I remember back when I was in the ninth grade during its release and everyone in my class praised this clown called Master P. This movie is so bad, it's not even funny. All the characters in this film are extremely tired stereotypes, the audio is only audible when music plays, and the movie looks like it was videotaped off a public access channel. Luckily, I didn't buy this film like all my other inner-city degenerate classmates.

My rating:1 out of 10

My verdict: Avoid this video like its a sexually-transmitted disease.

It gives me great joy to have acquired this movie. This is one of the best movies I own, and I hope the guy I borrowed it from does not come over and remember I still have his tape! But don't get me wrong, this could be the worst acting I've seen to date and the plot was...well...HORRID, but that is the beauty of it. To enjoy this movie it must be viewed solely for it's unintentional humor. It's so bad you will literally be entertained looking for those shining moments, my personal favorites are any scenes with Silk the shocker's attempts at acting. I recommend watching this with a friend, so the laughter came be shared and ya'll can team up to crack on noteworthy scenes. I haven't seen all of Master P's movies, but I highly recommend his "Last Don" movie if you enjoy "I'm Bout it" like I do.
