5.0 out of 5 stars 'Hood Classic!, October 7, 2002

Brian Hooks is fast becoming a comedy "star" in his own right, able to favorably compare to Chris Tucker and Mike Epps without fear of being overshadowed. If you liked "Friday" and "Third Strike", then you'll DEFINITELY dig this one; it's just as funny!!

I think I may have to rank this movie above "Third Strike" for gut-busting humor. There's also a hilarious performance turned in by Faizon Love ("Big Worm" of "Friday" fame), and plenty sex-appeal from Maia Campbell ("In The House" TV show). This movie should garner underground popularity much the same way "Friday" did when it hit DVD: you recognize most all the characters in the film from your personal lives.

On the other hand, a movie such as this will obviously have a small budget, depending on the writing, characters and situations for entertainment value. Take it for what it is- don't expect the moon, and you won't be dissapointed. The only other caveat, for some, might be the two "in-your-face", sex-oriented scenes/jokes. Other than that, it's the usual "R-rated" ingredients: cursing, nudity, & violence -enjoy!

Brian Hooks is truly the king of the dvd. Don't take it too seriously and you will enjoy the movie as much as I did. This is pretty much a sequel from the movie Q with the same theme.His parents leave and he throws a party which all but destroys his parent's house. Sorry, it's not a party, it's a lua.
