Hot Boyz

Hot Boyz (2000) is a movie that I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a young man looking to get out of the hood and settle down with his girlfriend, have kids and start a family. When she is framed for murder he will need to spring into action to find evidence to clear her name and get his goals back on track.

This movie is directed by Master P (No Tomorrow) and stars Gary Busey (Gingerbread Man), Silkk the Shocker (Undisputed), Snoop Dogg (Training Day), Pamella D'Pella (Ted & Venus), Shireen Crutchfield (House Party 3) and C. Thomas Howell (The Outsiders).

This film has a fantastic soundtrack, it's probably the best thing going for it. The storyline was a bit cliché and felt like an excuse to get as many rappers as possible in a movie. The opening car chase was cheesy and the car chases overall were fairly poorly done. The scenarios the main character encountered were crazy and far fetched creating little entertainment value.

Overall, this is a bad movie with few redeeming qualities and absolutely no repeat viewing value. I would score this a 3/10 and recommend skipping it.

For HIPHOP fans and fans of these particular rappers it's worth watching. Good plot, decent acting and it moves along at a good pace. Sure its not a Hollywood blockbuster but its full of A-listing rappers. If you enjoy simple action/hood movies then this is for you.

Trust me, don't waste your time. This film is rubbish. Weak story line, full of lame cliches, every other word either Nig**r or F@*k, not one single redeeming factor. Just as bad as 'Ride' though in a different way.

If someone says that this movie is good, they lie. This movie is one of the dumb movies i've ever seen. And believe I've seen many movies in my life. If you look at the cast you would expect a great movie, but no, they all f*cked it up. Fans of Jeff Speakmann would be very dissapointed. Jeff has a tiny roll in this movies and he hardley fights. And oh man the guy has become a fat karate guy. If you want to see a real getto movie you should watch Menace 2 society. The only thing this movie is good for is to throw it away.

Mark: -1/10

This is vindictive Master P at his ugliest (and that's bad). The main hero we are led to believe is a HORRIBLY, HORRIBLY acted black man, aspiring to do good, and knows kung-fu, living in a life of white oppression (you know, like all cops are crooked and idiots and all gangstas living the real life... whatever). Eventually, the good man is pushed to his limits because his girlfriend is framed for murder for no explicable reason. Seriously, this sort of plot is getting old and extremely TIRING. Countless rappers appear along the way in cameos contributing nothing except a possible song in the soundtrack, and eventually everything is resolved in a less than thrilling shoot-out between cops, crooked cops, good black guy, and gangstas.

2/10
