I remember when this was in the works, some civil rights folks out in LA were already talking about boycotting and banning this.

First of all, all that did (as it always does, will they ever learn?) was make people curious about it and check it out in droves on DVD (in the words of Rocky the Flying Squirrel, "But that trick NEVER works!").

In either case, this movie is so wild and over the top that it is IMPOSSIBLE to take seriously. This is a bizzare (and admittedly imaginative) cartoon of a lonely white suburban kid who finds a father figure in a pimp named "Fruit Juice" (voiced expertly by Bernie Mac). The Mac and a prostitute voiced by Little Kim (again, perfect casting) teach the boy about the Pimp game and about life in general.

There could be concerns that like "Soul Plane," this would be nothing but trashy stereotypes. Perhaps, but it's a guilty pleasure with some really charming and funny moments. (The scene where the kid takes the Pimp and Little Kim to school for "show and tell" is a SCREAM!). Yeah, one could go on and on about stereotypes, the morality of a story involving children and pimping, etc. but unlike "The Mack," "American Pimp," ad nauseum, this film does not take itself seriosuly and is clearly just a comedy.

Basically, leave your brains (and the kiddies) and all the analysis and sociology at the door for this one- get some of your buddies over for beer and pizza, and LAFF Your (posterior) OFF!

BTW-It would help this DVD if they added some of the original web "Lil Pimp" cartoons as extra features, as was the case with the "Undercover Brother" DVD.

Think of South Park meets The Family Guy, then use the theme of Pimps up, hoe's down. LOL!

When I saw Lil' Pimp on the web back in 1998, I knew that the names Brooks and Dilstrap would one day be synomous with likes of Scorsese, Speilberg and Kubrick. See you next year Oscar!

I was skeptical at first when I saw the DVD cover, but I was more than pleasantly surprised when I sat through this divine comedy. The dialog was world class and the jokes delivered a one, two punch to my funny bone! What a hilarious concept!; a naive young innocent white kid connects with a group of pimps and saves the day! I was literally on the edge of my seat wondering how this movie was going to end. I know that audiences of all ages and tastes will identify with the main characters in this movie. It's an emotional roller coaster; I laughed, I cried, I was swept away. Kudos to the writer and the director for giving me 80 minutes of pure comedy bliss!!! Hey PIXAR!!, eat your heart out.

for grown ups only, rael funny movies. special guest rudy ray moore. i rate this 4-stars****

I love this film. I thought that it was real funny. I was told to watch this when I was stationed in Korea it started and I thought that this was going to be cheesy but it got good. If you dont like racist comments or bad language this is not the movie for you. NOT FOR KIDS.

I truly enjoyed this movie, it was soo funny. I the quality of the disk that I received and the speed in which I received my order was awesome.

I surprised myself with this. A friend and I watched this last night and we were in hysterics. It's crude, sure. It's gross at times, sure. But I guess small things for small minds (me) and I actually liked this. I love all things Bernie Mac. He's great, and I didn't think I could go wrong with Bernie and animation. The ferret (Ludacris) was hillarious and in fact everyone did a great job. This isn't for everyone. I think you need to let go of your defences watching it, and whether you admit it or not, you will probably like it. It's good escapism with lots of potty jokes, but put that aside and just enjoy the ride.

that Little white Boy turning into a Pimp cracks me up. His Mommy turned out real nicely sweet double Lawd Jesus!!!Ludacris was funny as well. dug the voices in the film. there was a message involved from start to finish.this is a cool little film.

if u like pimps, hoes, an a 9 year old kid that wants 2 become a pimp...this is 4 u. buncha other people give their voices 2 this , like william shatner, ludacris, and even jennifer tilly and carmen elektra even lend their voices. sum great 1-liners, and a s-load of valgarites. .u should definately check it out if u wanna have sum belly laughs.
