Back on the Strip

Back on the Strip features one of my favorite actors in Weslie Snipes but even his role in this is far from saving it. This latest comedy failed to come up with a compelling story or provide tons of laughs. Instead what we get is something that is flat, forced, and should have never been made. It's a shame as well because Weslie Snipes was in this along with Tiffany Haddish. I only rememberd laughing a couple of times and really wanted to turn it off early but I powered through. I really wish Studios would do more oversight on what movies they are green lighting before releasing. Back on the Strip gets a low 3 stars out of 10 from me.

I really enjoyed *Back on the Strip*. It's a lighthearted, unpretentious comedy that works perfectly thanks to its energy, timing, and playful spirit. The film doesn't try to be more than it is, and that's exactly what makes it so refreshing and entertaining.

What makes it even more special is the impressive cast. Seeing Wesley Snipes back on screen after such a long time is a real treat-he brings charisma and humor that remind us why he's such a memorable actor. Surrounded by a lively ensemble, including Kevin Hart, the film feels like a joyful reunion of talent.

Overall, *Back on the Strip* is a very successful comedy that delivers laughs, charm, and a great sense of fun. It's the kind of movie that doesn't take itself too seriously, and that's precisely why it's so enjoyable.

There are so many things that could have gone well with this movie, and I believe they had the cast to pull it off.

Young boy falls for girl, he loves magic. Moves to Las Vegas and starts stripping... Girl falls for jerk... Good foundation.

The bad.

Tiffany Haddish was a wreck, her humor is crass and ineffective, so she goes for shock with super inappropriate language that doesn't fit and is just uncomfortable.

Wesley Snipes character is effeminate. Not sure why, but it didn't bide well with me.

The rest of the show was OK, but those two pieces wrecked the movie and made it more so a "gotta get through this", rather than a "I don't want this to end" type movie.

Spence Moore did a great job and was entertaining. Bill Bellamy was awesome. J. B> Smoove was funny as ever. Faizon Love was as funny as he ever was.

Kevin Hart had a small part, super insignificant and not worth mentioning.

I don't know what the wife and I were expecting when we watch this movie but it was cute. It was a black comedy about a boy who wants to be a magician in vegas and who ends up being a stripper because he is well endowed. Wesley Snipes plays the old Matthew McConaughey position from Magic Mike in this one. It has Tiffany Addish in it and she is funny. Actually all of the strippers are comedians who are brought up on stage to try and dance. The movie isn't bad but it isn't good either. There are cringe moments where like when the cops try to arrest them all for being black Or wins of one white member of their group continually apologizes for being a white Doctor. Overall it's a fun movie but don't expect Too much.

This is not Magic Mike... that part of the story line is the pretext at this romantic Afroamerican comedy. The rhythm is good. No down time. Made my laugh out loud lots of times as much from the bad suggestive dance moves then from the flow of Afroamerican slang especially by women to describe sex, the male member or to insult one and other. Being a white single 60's French Canadian man... it seems to me that it was too much not to be stereotyping? But then again maybe not... As it was funny. And like it a good romantic comedy true love does blossom at the end... in a frenetic last scene. One scene toward the end seems to have needed more writing...
