"I have only good words about this film. I loved the two actors pretrayal of one another. I am usually good at guessing and finding a plot for movies. This movie for the most part had me fooled. Not since Fallen have I been dumbfounded to find and understand the ending to a movie. This movie was also hillarious with several comedic scenes. The storyline or plot of the film had endless conclussions. A well educated Harvard graduate Chase (Jones) who is employed by a bank in New York. Chase also has a supermodel girlfriend. Encounters a would be criminal and scam artist Tiffany (Griffin). Perhaps one of Eddie Griffins best films. Eddie Griffin is a fantastic and powerful force in this film. He brings veteran and always also new comedic creations to all of his films. This one is no exception. Orlando Jones has been one of many comedic performers I have enjoyed over the years. He brings a new and unique energy to the film. Surprisingly this movie had a lot of action scenes for two comedic performers. I enjoyed all of the different scenes with most of the actors.Even though I am not a tough critic on movies. I watch movies for entertainment purposes first. Then I look for meaning and purpose. If most people would view movies this way, then they would find a lot more films to be entertaining."

Its Not As Bad As They Say

"This movie about a wall street hot-shot named Daryl Chase, and a loud mouth "ghetto recipient" Freddy Tiffany has one of THE STUPIDEST plots you'll ever see. But this movie is just flat out hilarious! Eddie Griffin gives a great performance in this movie, and you'll be laughing till' the very end. Some of the lines are just so funny. Like when Freddy is in Chase' s office and he pretends to be on the phone he says stuff like " a broker is a smoker " and " is that Chloe kitt man I sure like to wax her draws" and as hes being taken out by security he says " hows yo mama we went out " Its a confusing movie but Eddie Griffin saves it. So dont listen to the critics, See this movie you'll like it its very funny!"

Funny But...

"This movie was funny at certain points, but could have been improved on substantially. Both of the main character (Eddie and Orlando) were funny, but the story lacked direction. At certain points you just feel like asking someone "Where is this movie going?" The biggest plus for this movie are the actors. It is my sincere hope that we can see them together in a better written, better directed movie. If you enjoy the comedy of Eddie Griffin and you like the 7 Up commercials with Orlando Jone you should see this movie otherwise steer clear of this one."
