I saw this movie and thought it was real cute and funny. I'm not surprised to see Jaleel White still accepting roles that still links him to Steve Urkel, but I guess you can take what you can get when you aren't really starring in great roles. I was waiting for him to say "DID I DO THAAAAT!!!". Otherwise, it was pretty good. There were some stupid moments, but I would add it to my DVD collection.

Pros: I know this movie had a billion stereotypes in it, but I'm sorry, I laughed through the entire thing. I had never heard of this movie but a family member had it on tape, so I watched it expecting it to be wack. Jaleel White as a cop did not strike me as interesting, but as soon as this dude proposed to his girlfriend and went home with her to meet the family, the nonsense began. This was some of the dumbest entertainment ever: from butts sticking to plastic couches; being pressured into eating pork; the prisoner boyfriend's talk about Tiger style, the [...] grandparents; etc. It was some of the most stupid funny ever, but I enjoyed every minute of it. My hand didn't leave my forehead and the grin never left because this movie was such a waste of time; but in a good way. I wouldn't suggest buying it, but I would suggest renting it on a day when you're off work, bored, and need something to tickle your funnybone.

Cons: I don't know why this woman was picked for the role as his girlfriend. Her acting was about as plastic as the couch, and I saw no connection between the two. They could've been a little bit more believable as a couple.

This is a fun movie with some hilarious moments! It does feature a good cast, but Eddie Griffin is what makes this a "must see". It may not be a box office smash, but it reminds me of an urban version of Meet the Parents.

i thought this film was gonna be madd funny. I mean Jaleel White playing the Po-Po Role I thought it would be funny,but this film is just kinda there. Clifton Powell is the mini James brown of the film game,Bro man is in everything. Ella Joyce is still thick like a Sweet Potatoe Pie YES LAWWDD!! Reynaldo Rey(Red) is a Fool he cracks me up,but this film on a whole just seemed thrown together&never gets going.

My DVD came very fast, packaged right and showed very clear. I was a bit worried it would not be a real copy but it was.

Whoever has never seen this movie it is a must see. It will have your stomach hurting from all the laughter!

Ah man....this movie was crazy & funny as hell!! A true must have for all potheads :) and those who need a good laugh to get your day going.......J.E.T.S.

Seems like a lot of people expected a wholesome, heartwarming drama and were disappointed that it was basically the opposite. Uh, the fact that this movie went straight to DVD and the "R" rating should be a dead giveaway. People, the internet exists for a reason, I suggest using it to determine whether or not a movie will be suitable for your personal morals.

Anyway, onto the review...

Let me just say that this movie is worth watching for Deray's character alone. The first scene he's in is so funny I nearly spit blueberry snapple onto my laptop. Yeah okay, this movie is DEFINITELY ghetto. So if you aren't prepared for some blatant stereotypical black humor than I suggest staying away. At the same time, this movie is not nearly as bad as most Tyler Perry movies/shows when it comes to stereotypical black characters so take it for what it's worth.

If you liked Friday, then you'll probably like this movie. I would classify this as "Friday Lite," as it's clearly not anywhere near as good as Friday, but it will still provide some good entertainment and laughs.

Again, if you're looking for fun-loving entertainment for the whole family, watch Cosby Show re-runs. If you want to watch a funny ass black comedy that holds no punches, this is the movie for you.

This movie may come across as a "generic film" in which it may to some, but the old "Erckel" is just as funny as he was when he was younger and now as a grown man. This movie has alot of excellent "one liners" will have you laughing from beginning to the end.

this was great movie that whole family can watch together it's action pack & VERY funny..glad that it was brand new in original wrapping..only thing i would change about this transaction is to get the package within 72hours..
