When Leta Evans (Melissa De Sousa), who has dreamed for years of being a music video director, becomes an assistant to a famous director, she wants to make a good impression. Her first job will be transporting the cast of a video from New York to Miami. However, due to a tight budget, they will have to travel by bus. The strict Poppa (Malik Yoba) watches out for the crew, but there is still ample opportunity for trouble -- which could end Leta's directing career before it begins.

Decent hiphop movie about a group of suburban kids who all take a trip to Miami in hopes of fulfilling their dreams of becoming hiphop stars. Along the way they are faced with various quirky but interesting obstacles. I enjoyed watching it, not bad!

This road movie should be road kill. It has a terrible set of characters in a number of annoyingly stereotypical themes throughout the course of the movie, put together it doesn't really make a plot, but when the acting is this crass it would be hard to spot one anyway.

Former music-video auteur Millicent Shelton penned the script, which, if you cut out all the obscenities and flatulence jokes, could comfortably fit on the back of her business card.
