Joe Leydon Variety 10/23/2009
It's a tailor-made role for Cube -- not surprising, considering he wrote the script -- and he plays it with his familiar mix of brash-talking bluster and brow-knitting frustration. Go to Full Review Brian Orndorf DVDTalk.com 12/07/2009
C-
Humorless feature film that aspires toward a comedic pitch that should've never been placed in the hands of Ice Cube. Mike Epps, sure. But Cube is best bewildered, not fitted for clown shoes. Go to Full Review F.X. Feeney L.A. Weekly 10/22/2009
Everything builds to a fairly careless climax. Go to Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com 10/18/2009

Khalan C Mar 8 The plot is very basic to a fault, the humor is subpar, and the soundtrack could've done better. Despite it's packed cast with notable acting debuts and few laughs, most hardcore Ice Cube/Mike Epps fans will give the hard pass on this rather "Janky" movie. See more 11/18/2014 Janky Promoters, the fourth film starring Ice cube and Mike Epps, is a sloppy, wildly uneven, and sparsely funny effort that fails to reach the side-splitting heights of their previous collaborations. See more 03/19/2013 This movie was pretty funny. I wish it had a good soundtrack, but Ice Cube and Mike Epps worked well together. It had its moments, but was a little rough around the edges. I thought it was worth watching, but most probably won't. See more 08/26/2012 very funny.cube and mike epps combination See more 08/13/2012 i need this movie too funny See more 06/11/2012 I think I may be the first white man to see this movie.
