72 minutes only (credits included) is the first sign that 'Chocolate City 3' is not even close to what came previously. A dtv flick that might get boredom watches from horny ladies, but all the drama is straight out of a dollar store bin. Ri'chard doesn't reprise the third time, but you get returning faces and a few known actors slumming it big time. However none of it can be called sexy or interesting.

All is not great with what remains of "Chocolate City" after they won the Las Vegas competition. Michael has departed the group, a reality show they've taken on has fizzed out badly in no small part due to "manager" Shawna Diva (LisaRaye McCoy) and now the guys just want to get back to basics: dancing. So sets in motion a multi US city tour as questions get raised. Does a white guy addition make sense? Can the local Pastor (writer / director La Marre) get his son Carlton (Marc John Jeffries) to step away from male erotic dancing?

Topics of God, family and religion still here, but its without many sights of the guys actually doing their thing to counterbalance. Other than few rehearsals and a very cheap feeling finale that is. If you want an idea of how flat the story is wait until word gets dropped about Michael and his mom which lands with the emotional impact of a thud. Clifton Powell & Tom Sizemore appear briefly to get paid. What else? I love sex scenes where women leave their bras on as much as cringe dialog.

Writer / director Jean-Claude La Marre dials up the cheese factor to '11' in a ultra boring story. When 'Chocolate City 3' started with a lengthy sermon in church followed by a credit sequence of the cast that would be right at home in a 90's sitcom, I knew I was in trouble. Skip it.
