User Reviews

Amazing but misunderstood

I watched this movie and just fell in love. The rapping is solid and sounds great. The acting was humorous and well done. The story line was not made to be serious. I know a lot of people dog on T-Pain for "over using auto-tune", which does at times make people sound a lot better. But I think what people miss is that it brings a style to singing. Maybe T-Pain sucks at singing with out the help of the program, but with it he brings a different style of music. Which can also work in his favor, such as it may work for his voice but for another person could make it sound horrible. It may not be talent but it sounds really good, so why dog it. It works really good with the musical. The art of the musical is all done in I guess you would say a graffiti style which is perfect for the movie it is.

In a nut shell: Its a rap musical, featuring several top rap artist, with T-Pain as Freaknik turning Spring Break into the party it should be, and three young men trying to rising to fame.

Can not wait for the soundtrack ^_^
