Just got from seeing it. As usual, minor spoilers. If I could sum it up, half of this movie is comedy. And half is preachy. Comedy wise, they use the same formula of making non-pc jokes about Black stars. There was one joke that i"m sure we'll be controversial though it wasn't bad, imo

Spoiler: joke

Maya Angelo joke. I'm sure it'll be accused of kooning

Cedric was very funny if you like his old man character.

Didn't see Chiraq but from what I read, it felt like a version of that. In the sense of addressing the issues of Chicago and a possible solutions. There are some long periods of the preachy stuff (not to the level of Christian movies if you ever seen one. But none the less preachy). Now, of course, it's the barbershop so you expect debate and they debate alot issues about racism and politics.

Plot wise, though. It's pretty predictable. Some tragedy, then a lot fantasy stuff where everything works out.

Some of the characters. They got a mad suspect barber who does alot feminine stuff. He's ok but get annoying at times. They got an Indian dude who's conservative politically (sorta like D'Sousa. If you don't know who that is, don't worry about it). Regina Hall was disappointing. From her hair to her character in general. They didn't use her comedic gifts and character was too mature.

Nicki- Without spoiling it, let's just say she's plays a stereotypical role. If you're a fan, obviously the eye candy is there. Common. Never been a fan of his acting but he's ok. He did show a little acting when he got mad at times. Eve plays his wife. If you like Eve acting, she held her own. The main thing I didn't like about Common character though

Spoiler: major spoiler

He was too naive. If you got Nicki openly flirting in front of you and married, you don't even mess with it. That's just too dumb. Nicki wasn't trying to keep on the DL, so no way would I even attempt to even talk with her. Openly disrespecting Eve. Though I liked how he put her in check when she (Eve) called him a itch.

Lastly, Tyga. Imma go against the grain and say this pedofile is a good actor. Though I don't believe he could hurt a flea in real life.

Now, with the positve message side, it def. showed some strong Black fathers taking care of thier boys. But even though there were strong fathers, it didn't prevent some major problems. Also addressed the issue of "Black flight", which I thought was good. Though in real life, all those niguhs did Black flight. I'll give this movie a B+. It could have been a classic with the comedy. But the overlypreachy dialogue and the fantasy happy stuff with the plot, I can't give it higher then that.

P.S. Deon Cole character was funny. I've seen his standup (can't remember where though) but he's good at his dry humor. Anthony Anderson character is minor but he's good as well.

Tyga and ASAP Rocky were solid in DOPE, even though the movie was trash to me.

Seen it last night when Tyga came on the screen everybody in the audience smacked they lips was like "this nikka"

Nicki looked good as fukk that body can't be real
No homo I want to get in shape like common


Movie was pretty funny 7.5/10

The whole gang situation had a lot of plot holes they just left old boy standing there when cube pulled up

I kept waiting for his son to get shot like hardball


Felt good supporting black cinema
Main reason I went tho took this chick didn't get to smash tho


But I think I gotta chance in the future

 

[lamont614]

My nikka one stop killed it to

Where was Michael Ealy?I like how they brought back all the characters in different roles (white barber as a customer,the other dude as a politician).That Feminine barber cat was annoying at times.Nicki surprised me she did a good job playing hoodrat hairstylist

 

[Carolina Slim]

Just got back from seeing it with wifey; I was digging that pro feminine barber broad tho. Nicki was making it hard on a nygga with them booty shots tho

 

[Jplaya2023]

i thought it was a good movie. great job cube and them.

deon cole owned every scene he was in

 

[cjlaw93]

I see EXACTLY why this movie is getting good reviews (from white publications) same reasons as DOPE.


And WTF is up with the way they portrayed VLs and GDs Chicago ain't LA

I really wanted to like this movie more than I did. Too many odd subplots, unnecessarily goofy characters and a main story that's simultaneously on the nose and woefully under-explored.
