Featured review
Dead-on cheaply produced rapumentary
If you like rap or hip-hop, watch this movie, although it's funny if you don't get the references, as a straight comedy.
Haven't seen much of the much hyped CB4, but what I did see didn't have the heart that this little stormer has.
Haven't heard from the people involved since, which is a surprise. The film is very similar to Spinal Tap, which is no bad thing, and I think a lot of the dialogue, while priceless in Tap is funnier here, probably because I'm more into rap than rock theses days, so my own judgment does cloud that point.
The rap songs are funny as hell, and it's basically spot the reference for most of the film, not all of them are in-your-face, which means the physical comedy and the one-liners get priority over the take-offs.
Great fun, one to watch twice if there ever was a movie.
