Goofs

When Bunz and Rashad are chasing Killer (the dog) down the street, a car door opens. Bunz and Rashad run into the door and flip over it onto the ground. As both characters are falling to the ground in slow motion, you can clearly see the stuntman who is playing as Jaime Foxx (Bunz) lose his hairpiece.

Quotes

Rushon: So Lysti, can I ask you a hypothetical question? Have you ever had a man wait seven weeks to "hit that"?
Nikki: What're you asking HER for? She never made a man wait thirty minutes.
Bunz: [sniff sniff] Do I smell a whore?

User Reviews

Hilarious!

After watching this movie, it was hard to move because my sides hurt so much from laughing. The hilarious standout performances of Vivica Fox, Tamala Jones, Tommy Davidson, and Jamie Foxx make this movie an entertaining film for anyone -- black or white, male or female. The knockout, yet brief, performance of Gedde Wantanabe (Long Duc Dong of Sixteen Candles) is enough to make you rewind the dinner scene again and again and again.
