Something Like a Business

I'm sure you have all had a teacher tell you that everyone begins the semester with an A. I have the same approach to movies. Even if I expect the movie to fail, it begins with a 10/10. If a full movie is analogous to a semester, then "Something Like a Business" dropped to an F after the first week. I watched thirty-eight minutes and that was thirty-five minutes too long.

The premise was a dumb one, but not unsalvageable. Jojo (Kevin Hart) had to run his uncle's pimp business after he died. This could've been a riot. It certainly had the talent: Kevin Hart, Donnell Rawlings, Earthquake, Chris Spencer, Kym Whitley, Keith David, and David Alan Grier. Unfortunately, this was a hodgepodge of bad sketches all forced into an aimless movie.

This was a horrible movie. Do not waste your time. The stereotypes were played out (even at that time) and you can see the writers have real issues with Black women of a darker hue. To think that this was passed off as comedy when it's really tragedy is the most comical part of it. I can see why it was a straight to DVD movie...

It was funny stereotypes filled movie. Some scenes was shocking

Could not even make to 15 mins. Of watching this. Just awful.

I have to say that i'm not aware of other Parr's films but this one is truly funny as hell.

He graped all the stereotypes about black people and used it in a hilarious way. This is what we call in Greece "To knowing myself". The acting is exceptional for this kind of movie and the characters has been treated with absolute care one by one. It's a well structured comedy and all the quotes and impersonations of other familiar people are just brilliant and hilarious.

The impersonation of D.Washington from the movie "Trainign Day" was one of the greatest scenes in the film. Same for the actress who's playing the pageant girl, i couldn't breath cause of the laughs. But as i said above, the thing that does this film such a great comedy is Rus. Parr's brilliant way to use all the stereotypes into a self-sarcastic way.

Don't miss. I don't know if i should recommend to you to go to the theaters but definitely get it on DVD. It's just a great comedy for a long time now. Enjoy it.
