Trivia

Terry Crews's line, "Oh no, my brother, you gotta get your own" (spoken to Shawn Wayans when Shawn is pretending to be a parking valet), is taken from a record commercial that used to air frequently on BET (Black Entertainment Television) during the 1980s.

Goofs

When Karen, Lisa, and Tori unexpectedly show up at "The Wilson Sisters" hotel room, Kevin and Marcus only have a few minutes to get ready yet their entire bodies are sprayed white again when it took an essentially more amount of time to do so at the beginning of the film.

User Reviews

Nominee for Lamest Movie Ever Made title, no doubt!

I haven't seen such a bad movie for really long time. Im really surprised to see it score 3.8 (currently), because if there was any negative scale on imdb, then it should definitly get -10 and be nominated for Lamest Movie Ever Made title! What a POS, stay away from it if you have at least one working brain cell left! I cant believe anyone could write such lame lines, and whats worse - that actor with such great potential like Marlon Wayans ( Tyrone from "Requiem For A Dream"; the black dude from "Scary Movie") agreed to play in it!

Keenan Ivory Wayans should stick to acting, because thats where he excels. It takes sharp mind to write a screenplay for a comedy, and as easy as it may seem - it is actually much more difficult to write any average comedy than to write any best "in da hood' gangsta flick.
