Great Film overall

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

This was without a doubt one of the dumbest movies I'd ever seen. And I had the displeasure of being down the street at my friend's house when they were filming the streetball scene in Jersey City, New Jersey. One would think that a film made by Queen Latifah wouldn't have been as stupid as it was. Was she high when she wrote the script for it? It was nothing but another overly stereotypical, run-of-the-mill "negro" movie with ridiculously bad acting, even from Academy and Oscar Award-winning actors and/or actresses. This just atrocious and a sorry excuse for a film. I'd give it a zero, but 1 star was the lowest rating that I could give it.

This movie was recommended by a friend of the family, who happened to think this movie was outright hilarious, mainly because of Queen Latifah. I thought the same.I would recommend this movie to anyone who can handle African American jokes (surely that are not meant to be offensive) and loves comedy! I would NOT recommend this to anyone who takes life too seriously, or who has no sense of humor.My favorite part is when Todd's cousin is at the gate telling The Cop (Queen Latifah) off!! Haha, that was definitely a memorable moment.Some other slapstick moments are when the chefs are preparing the cookout meal and when Meagan Good is elated about getting this mansion.This will be worth the while, so please do watch it!

usually, black films are quite funny. this one is at some points. mainly, this movie is comic able but fails to make anyone want to see if there is a part 2 or not. Silverman plays a agent very well. you can tell he paid attention to his own agent to pick up the ins and outs. the judge who decides to get high, his white wife, the dog that has a identity problem, where is the basis of a story line? movie fails similar to the way the "Friday After Next" did. writing is pathetic so acting cant even cover up the horrible script. nice to see Eve finally play a sweet character. for a hardcore rapper who always plays tough minded characters, was nice to see her be sweet and soft. the gold digger, black, white, green or yellow, she is hot. shes a horrible actress, but with a body like hers and a face like hers, she doesn't need to act!

I'm a white guy and if I was black i would have been insulted by this film. In no way was this film funny, in no way did this film have a story. The Cookout wasn't even the main focal point. This film should have been called The Family. People should look at this film as a very very poor interpretation of the black community. Barbershop was a far better film with far better writing, directing and acting. Danny Glover was in this film, WHY? He was in one of the greatest buddy cop movies of all time, does he need the money? How does this crap get made, who thought this was a good idea and did anyone watch the dallies? If you are looking to not laugh, be insulted and fall asleep go rent this crap fest of a film.
