This movie is really funny. I was laughing my butt off the whole time. See this movie. I would see it again there is no doubt about that.
Lots of hot chicks like in those hiphop-videos on MTV and a plot that doesn´t strain your nerves too much..! Okay, sometimes this shot is pure camp, but who really cares?!? ...No film is perfect!!!
I´d give 6 out of 10...

I happened to see part of How to be a Player last night when surfing the TV channels last night. I really couldn't believe it was on the air. Terrible acting,stupid dialog, boring script, everything was so bad! And the actors were so stereotyped and so predictable. There was absolutely no character development to say the least.
About an hour later, I flipped past it once again and watched for about 3 minutes to see if it was still as bad as I had thought. It WAS! Whoever thought this would be a good movie was sadly mistaken. Amazingly, our new channel "Bounce" showed it back-to-back on Friday night. Why???

This movie is very nasty, but it still so funny. A movie about how a player is trying to teach a player while his sister is trying to catch his cheating tail. Very funny. You will be on the floor laughing. Just don't get a heart attack from doing it. Just kidding. This was just too funny.
Bill Bellamy goes on his rounds of women, most of them married or in a long-term relationship, while his gang of acolytes wait in the car outside. Meanwhile, his sister, Natalie Desselle Reid, is gathering his women to confront him with them together.
A;though the visuals remain thoroughly cinematic throughout, there are several occasions when the performances become very stagey. Also, despite the variety of beautiful women and the poses, the humor remains very juvenile throughout. Bernie Mac, as a cuckolded husband, remains more concerned about his houseplants than his wife. Max Julien has a nice bit as an older player, and Gilbert Gottfried, plays his squinty, raspy-voiced character as a voyeur.
