Candy

The only thing nice about this movie are the girls. They fine as hell. Everything else is gabbage. From cinematography, to acting, to story, to soundtrack, to cast, to even the special effects used. Wack!

Don't be fooled by the poster/cover - the artwork that is being displayed here at imdb. It is a clever trick one might say to catch the attention of a few people (mainly the male audience). Do not expect the movie to reflect that.

Also this is low budget, so do not expect this to have big .. visuals. What it does have though, is a really cool soundtrack. If you are into the music that is. Also be aware that there are a lot of profanities being used. It is depicting people and how they would talk. In that sense it is quite real. Still there are many scenes that are unnecessary to the story or plot.

You have to suspend your disbelief quite a bit to be able to enjoy this. The twist towards the end might help - but it also might be too clever for its own good. Performances are a mixed bag ... you'll get some goodies during the end credits, including outtakes.

I knew what it was. Jessica Kylie was in it so I had to watch. I just want to know the name of that first track played in the movie. I can't find it anywhere.

Candy (2017) is a movie I recently watched on Prime and tells the story of four Houston based best friends in the city who smuggle drugs and make lots of cash. As they get bigger and better and start to expand they look to execute their biggest move yet; unfortunately for them, one of the ladies has a new boyfriend and gets addicted to heroine. It might be a bad time to not be on your A game and there may quickly be a change in fortune for the ladies. This movie is directed by Nahala Johnson (Dominos: The Game We Play) and stars Sheneka Adams (Brotherly Love), Anthony Johnson (Friday), Kendrick Smith (Because I Love You) and Scarface (Narc). The strip club opening and the actresses in this are absolutely magnificent. The dialogue between characters isn't bad and the narration by the main character isn't terrible but isn't great either. The directing, quality of the film and cinematography are just okay and the ending of the movie is ridiculous. It sets up to be a great tragedy piece, but falls short. There are some twists at the end that could have been really good if executed better. This is a movie that with a better team could have been worthwhile. Overall this is a below average addition to the genre you can skip. I would score this a 3/10.

While not on the level of a classic blaxploitation or a newer classic 90s hood film, it's just about what you could expect from a 2000s-era hood film. The acting isn't great but passable. The cast is diverse, and the women are attractive with beautiful figures (but not a single man is attractive in any way).

I usually don't watch these kinds of films, but I do like Pam Grier blaxploitation films, and the streaming service I watched Candy on has so many black films that I thought I'd give it a shot. I thought I'd just skim through it, but I actually ended up being entertained by it enough to watch until the end. It's not going to win any awards for accomplished filmmaking or acting, but it doesn't have to. It was just passable enough to be entertaining. It's like an expanded, non-musical version of a YT trap tale. It's fine; not great, just fine.
