Not only uses Ginuwine's 1996 thirst anthem "Pony" to great effect-it also casts Ginuwine as one of Chocolate City's shining stars, grinding for dollars to his own song.

Los Angeles Times

The make-it-rain clichs are abundant and Jean-Claude La Marre's direction is pedestrian ...

Birth.Movies.Death.

As opposed to the sharp cinematography and direction of Steven Soderbergh and his disciple Gregory Jacobs, Chocolate City goes for more intimately hazy and lingering POV shots.

Baret News

A derivative, estrogen-fueled, overcoming-the-odds saga strictly recommended for females interested in seeing sepia-skinned Adonises gyrate while disrobing to mind-numbing disco music.

Rated: 2/4

Magic Mike's parody. Without the satire.

Boring. The dancing is remedial, they just do the same body roll over and over. There was nothing sexy about it despite the hot bodies. They rag on the real Magic Mike and throw around the "N" word. The worst part was the over preachy sermen that makes you feel sleazy for even watching the movie. Save your money not worth your time.
