What up? Not this movie!
Newsense12 May 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Damn shame. Low budget cinema has come to this? The whole movie in a nutshell is Kadeem Hardison and the comedian Godfrey play two idiotic garbage men who act like black versions of Tom Green until they stumble upon some cash and start to spend the money on everything they wanted. The problem is the money belongs to some mobsters and one of them finds out that these two dummies have their money and go looking for them.

The movie is a complete and utter bore. Kadeem Hardison, how far has he fallen? He went from being in great comedies like Im Gonna Get You Sucka and and being in the best black show to grace the TV screen, Different World to being in garbage like this? Wow. Godfrey was always a sporadically funny comic but here he just stinks. Both Kadeem and Godfrey look like they are bored to death and if there is anything I hate is when people act bored in a movie. I understand this is a low budget flick but at least act like you're having a ball and overact a little. They both act like they don't want to be here and if that was the case they shouldn't have made this flick period. The acting is terrible and the jokes faller flatter than Johnny Fairplay after a body slam. Don't waste your time on another deadly dull comedy. What Up is more proof that bad comedy is not fun just painful and unpleasant. Sweep this movie under the rug and stomp it!

Dale Stelly under rated in movie land
tedthumb20 September 2008
Dale Stelly is a writer/director/producer that gets it. He gives viewers what they want to see. The Sweep produces laughs galore. I loved Kadeem Hardison with Godfrey. These guys are funny. The Sweep story is nothing new. Two dufus janitors find a briefcase of mob money. They run through it like drunken sailors on shore leave. Buying flashy clothes and cars. The problem is the mob wants their money back. I laughed through most of this movie.

The comedic timing was there. I can only attribute that to Dale Stelly. I am a supporter of B grade movies. That can lead to disappointment many times when watching movies. The Sweep is a comedy gem you have to see. Mr. Stelly out did himself on this movie. I hope to see more of Kadeem Hardison and Godfrey in the near future.
