    i need a prescription because this movie killed my eyesight

    this movie is just some scene taped together with no story line (at least i could find it) the leading male with a monologue that made no sense how you looked at it the comedy in the movie was one cliché after another stuff we seen over a million times like white guy teaching black history(SEEN IT IN 'HOW HIGH')not funny and what is with the badly dubbed music scenes this a perfect example of go home and do it over also why is the leading male living in a crack house if hes loaded its a low budget movie there's no lieing in that but that doesn't mean that the movie it selve needs to be crap everything is cheap in this move including the script

    Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarbaaaaaaaaaaage...!!!

    ... This was a awful movie. 1st, the male lead character is reading this god-awful spoken word nonsense. 2nd.. The female lead is a part of a family singing group. They show flashbacks of the singing group in the 70's & 80's. The problem was, they were using a Korg Triton, a keyboard that was manufactured & released in the late 90's.

    In an episode when they were singing at a party, the mother of the group was singing... but the problem with that was, it was a male's voice used in the over-dub.

    And if that was not the worst... Why was Venus & Serena's daddy in the movie..? I rented it, because it was a freebie... but I should have known better, because anything that Maverick puts out is gonna be some garbage..!!!

    SEE it for the few ladies

    Even though I live in Florida I like to support the Independent Films coming from da west coast. But this movie wasn't what I expected, their was some pretty chicks and that's about it. I think I could have made a better film because it look like they were acting like actors instead of getting into their role. But the music that they were using was cool. There are some funny parts of this movie but you have to probably get buzzed in order to catch them. The freestyle battle was pretty cool I wish there was more battling then listening to MR. LAME spoken word guy. I would recommend watching it just for the hell of it just to see how lame it really is, but then again if you're lame it will fit you perfect.

    The put the Dis in Dis is Garbage

    I can't tell you how bad this movie sucked. There are no words in the dictionary to help me. If someone said they would pay you to watch this movie...run. Run fast and don't look back. Call the police if possible. There is a safe house bunker in almost every state...find it and stay there till that person goes away. I was offered 50 to watch it, but luckily for me it was really candid camera for a show called..."Let's See What Fool We Can Get Today" Recent studies have shown that they used this movie in prisons when they were being to rowdy and raping each other. The test showed that after being forced to watch this, they all fell to the ground in convulsions . Think of a person person with Parkinson Desease being hit with a taser. So that is my review on how bad this movie was. I would have given it a 10 if they were actually shooting for it to be this bad. You know...kinda like setting your house on fire to collect the insurance from it.

    great movie and great audio track

    This was a great movie. I bought it from a major department store last night and let me tell you that I have seen it at least 8 times. Yes it's low budget but the idea was great. So many people compare low budget and local artist to high, block buster, household name movies in which that isn't fair. If I had over a million dollars to create a movie then my movie would have the best graphics, story line, audio board, power house studio, and major name actors. Please give this movie and other low budget movies a chance. Another thing, these actors as well as production crew did a great job for the material they had to work with. The director also did a pretty good job. The only thing is using your time, budget, crew, and location wisely always play a major role in every movie. This comment is from an industry player who no's that the beginning is not the end for anyone. We all create greatness if we learn from past projects. To the crew, actors, and especially the director; keep up the great work..
