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.

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.

Rated: C-

Everything builds to a fairly careless climax.

Ice Cube and Mike Epps' much-delayed fourth screen teaming has to be a landmark of some sorts in how a company's complete lack of concern for its own product could not be more brazenly apparent.

Rated: 0.5/4

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.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

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.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

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.
