02/14/2013 This cute little movie was a welcome relief from all the gang-banging, drug-dealing, ho-hunting, thug-bugging crap that usually typifies the "South Central" genre. Somewhat like the Wayans Brothers on a smaller scale, writer/producer/director Pierre Edwards turns African American stereotypes upside-down, and we are treated to a Day in the Life, similar to the old 1976 "Car Wash" movie. As with "Car Wash," our story begins with a radio DJ spinning the tunes, and in between discs he mentions an armed car crash and a young man making off with a fast 20 grand. Police chase the teen down streets and through yards, and the kid finally ditches the money in a random backyard garbage can. The "random" garbage can belongs to our hero, a regular guy named Dre, and madness quickly ensues. Although a homeless man has already made off with the money, everyone believes Dre has it, and suddenly he becomes quite popular in the Hood. Plenty of "inside jokes" and goofy characters make this movie a hoot; however, frequent jumps between scenes leave viewers feeling as if the movie were edited by preschoolers. See more 02/08/2012 The typical "HOOD" type comedy in the lines of Friday & How High. More of a low budget movie, but still has plenty of jokes which make it entertaining enough to watch. Pretty amusing in parts but it's not gonna win any awards for originality!! See more 10/18/2009 Typical sketching arround one happening, in this case a moneydrop thats foundd by the wrong person, everyone gets excited about something that isnt true... pretty funny, kinda slow See more 07/10/2009 Some parts of it were really funny. My favorite quote was, "I was just trying to offer you a cracker." See more 07/21/2008 know diz is my movie i been watching it every since it came out. See more 07/21/2008 Some funny parts..but STUPID overall See more Read all reviews
