This Movie Is Hilarious!, 31 August 2005
10/10
Author: jay_skittz from United States

This is the funniest movie I have seen since Ice Cube's "Friday After Next". Anthony Anderson delivers a great comedic performance. He should star in more movies in the future. Charlie Murphy is great as he plays his cliché role of the convict thug. The women in this movie are all beautiful. Regina Hall (apple booty) is fine as hell! Nicole Parker is the sexy sophisticated black woman. Kellita Smith is thicker than a snicker. Leila Arcieri does good as the God-loving bad girl. And Brooke D'Orsay is a fine white girl too. Donald Faison also puts on a great comedic show. And Jay Mohr is very talented. He should also star in more movies.
