HUSTLE & FLOW was a great movie about a pimp in the south.
The thing about that movie was that it seemed authentic and it didn't try to glamorize the lifestyle, it was gritty and dirty and what I would imagine to be a real look into the life of pimps and prostitutes.
This movie is everything but that, the visual look of the movie is highly glamorous and everything has the look of a bling bling-rap video, including the women who despite being prostitutes stays "so fresh and so clean".
There aren't any females who's not a prostitute or a possible to be prostitute in this movie, and every single female gladly becomes a prostitute and seem very happy about the job even if chances are big that you will get pimp-slapped every now and then.
In the end it becomes fairly more interesting when Snoop Dogg's character starts questioning his lifestyle, BUT that quickly goes down the drain.
Also they have failed in a big way trying to make it a musical with 3 different musicvideos wrapped inside the movie, first of all they don't fit in secondly although I like Snoops music they pretty much all suck except for the last part, who really only seemed to be in there to fill up the time to make the movie over 80 minutes long.
There are so many bad things to say about this movie but one thing I found incredibly boring was the incredibly many and long scenes with Snoop Dogg's mentor Orange Juice (Hawthorne James) teaching him all about "the game" and whispering every single line, perhaps so that only his protegé can hear.
It's like O.J. is obsessed with passing on his "great knowledge" on "The Game": how to mistreat and psychologically abuse women in order to turn them into prostitutes, which people could find offensive IF it was realistically done.
If there's a message behind the movie I guess it would have to be the quote from Snoop Dogg's mentorpimp Orange Juice: "It would be a shame to let all this great game go to waste".
Oh Yes indeed, what a shame!
NO, the real shame is for the people who bought this movie expecting a good movie.
Really it serves better as a 80 minute pimp & prostitute commercial than a movie about the lifestyle of a pimp.
Forget this movie exists and go see BABY BOY, STARSKY & HUTCH or BONES for a quality-movie with the SNOOPSTER or HUSTLE & FLOW for a good movie about a pimp.
