Tha Eastsidaz

The Eastsidaz was probably the weakest movie I've ever seen. The story, which could be ok if not speckled with lame drug refrences and the atroutious naming of snap crackle and pop (ha, not funny), is weak contrived and filled with holes. The acting and production quality of this film is far below that of modern pornography. The over use of cussing in the script writing and the contrived dialect, which seems almost to stereo typical to be real, is sickening if not offensive. I think any young "punk" with a VHS or HI-8 camera and minimal editing skills that failed english in high school could write, direct and find better actors for a film. I'd personnaly suggest staying as far away from this flaming pile as possible. In short if you'd like to see bad camera work, bad acting and bad writing, without risking lending your kids the camcorder, rent or buy this film. Ernest goes to prison, with it's lame, yet similair wrong person in prison premise, is more worth your time, and won't insult your intelligence as much.

Sure this movie has bad acting moments, weak production, poor shootouts and looks like a home video, but if you start watching it knowing this you should get some enjoyment out of it. If you still don't it's understandable though.

Those who aren't fans of Snoop Dogg will most likely never like this movie because of the reasons above and the fact that there are a considerable amount of rappers acting in it, fans may hate it too, but the later should give it a try. There are some funny moments (some intentional and some not) it has a reasonably original plot and some good music.

Overall it is a movie not to be taken seriously. It can be compared to Blaxploitation movies like Dolemite. You have to understand that it's not a good film, but you can still enjoy it if that's what you're expecting. But definitely rent it first.

The movie itself is really bad. The production is so bad it's funny. It was made with some sort of home video camera. The movie had some very ridiculous scene's that dont have anything to do with the movie. The actors were a little bad although it's because their rappers which is excusable. It was going in the right direction but they made it a little serious. The movie has all cliches of any book or movie. Dont read ahead if you if you are sure to see the movie or I might spoil it. It has the whole framing, busting out of jail and last and bluntely taking vengance on the person that was most trusted, it even has a very bad excuse for a comedy releif. It looks like some low budget Chinese movie with their simple plots. If you are a big fan of Tha Eastsidaz then watch it but you like snoop but not enough then you will hate it. If you dont like snoop dog at all, which is very unlikely please stay the as far away from this movie. They should try again and this time make lighten it up a bit.

Based on today's standards the camera work and acting isn't great but if you're a big hip hop fan, especially from the old ways then you'll appreciate the cast, soundtrack and the plot moves quickly. It's a classic for the cast members.

The basic premise of "Tha Eastsidaz" is Snoop Dogg and friends sitting about smoking weed. Then Snoop goes to jail and when he breaks out he kills a bunch of white people. The sound and picture quality are awful...which gets me to wondering if a cameraman, unbeknowest to the S man, followed him around for a week or two. Only upside to this is the rapping and seeing Snoop smoke blunts like a madman. I mean who would pay to see this... oh wait i did. Blast me and my illogical movie choices. I instead should have rented "The Voyage of Mimi." Ben Afflek for life.

Also check out "Bones" (I havn't seen it but if you like this crap, then your sure to love it)
