    Unfavourable reviews from petty youths?

    Not going to lie, I do love a bleak movie and more than anything this film demonstrated the lack of glamour in the world of pimps hustling to make a buck. Keke Palmer's Wednesday is conflicting and hard to love but she rolls out the part beautifully, Hayley Ramm's long suffering Nikki is also a beautiful character eliciting so much emotion as a girl doing whatever she needs to keep her 'momma' happy and that dream alive. Vanessa Morgan as Destiny is by the numbers and Aunjanue Ellis as Wednesday's mother draws comparisons with Monique's stellar turn in 'Precious'

    But the standout for me was Edi Kathegi's amazing run as the unhinged, merciless Psycho Pimp, Kenny! Edi brought some chops.

    Whilst this isn't an Oscar winner it deserves a nod for its ambition and its deep characterisations maybe they could have spread that a little further but a good effort nonetheless.

    People Reviewing this are way too butthurt

    All the people judging and reviewing this negatively seem like those super sensitive types of this pathetic sensitive world we now live in. The movie was good and who cares if she was a Nickelodeon star, who cares about the color of the director's skin. This story is telling an experience that someone went through. It's unique. I was expecting it to be bad, but it's actually good.

    It's hard out here for a girl pimp...

    One thing I can say about this movie is that they tried really hard...they really did...the movie is way to short for the plot that they are trying to pull off in 1 hour and 25 minutes...too many characters with a story smashed in...like trying to fit a big foot in a small shoe...and maybe if they didn't try to may KeKe Palmer's character so gangsta and hard it may have been more believable...hmmm...probably not...it would for sure be good for a first date movie because you'd always remember going to see it if it worked out...would definitely be a story to tell and a laugh that would continue to go on...the movie wasn't good or believable...definitely not a "Hustle and Flow"...

    (Pimp) the story of Kenny

    Make a prequel about Kenny the pimp he was a way better character. In my opinion Kenny made the movie more interesting. I would love to see his story on the Big screen.

    One Of The Best Movies Of The Year!

    This is a coming of age story based on how hustlers really live their life while they struggle & Keke Palmer played a good part in this role. It was well done & most of the actors were really great. So for all of you thats saying the movie was trash didnt really catch the reality of this movie & to me its one of the best films I will continue to watch. Well done Keke Palmer! Keep it up with your career!
