2.0 out of 5 stars Low Budget modern day blaxplotation
Allen Payne is a good actor in my opinion but he should avoid poorly directed/scripted films such as this. I enjoy seeing Elise Neal in anything because she also is a fine actor and very easy on the eyes to boot. Her character did represent some semblance of logic in this disorganized film. I guess any work beats no work at all. I bought the DVD so I earned the right to...

Playas Ball" is the story of a young star athlete who -- right after signing a major shoe endorsement deal -- is hit with a paternity suit by a woman with whom he has not been involved. The movie's intent is to show the public that, although often envied, professional athletes are frequently exploited. This movie will engage the viewer and take them into the oft misunderstood world of professional sports. The script was well written and the production is great.

I guess any work beats no work at all. I bought the DVD so I earned the right to be critical, two thumbs down from me. Are films about Playas and Hustlers, pimps and Ho's all we want?

5.0 out of 5 stars AN UNEXPECTED SURPRISE...., March 15, 2007
This review is from: Playas Ball (DVD)
Intriguing and original. Makes you stop and think. Sometimes things really aren't what they appear to be. Greed will make people do some low down, deceitful things...

The acting was excellent and the chemistry between Allen Payne and Elise Neal was beautiful. Hope to see these two together again in the near future.

I highly recommend this film...

This review is from: Playas Ball (DVD)
This movie wasn't exactly terrible, the plot was decent at times although it got dumb in the middle.

1. I think there are a few charachters that were needless and brought down the quality of the movie. The cooks (the son and dad) kind of made this movie dumb for me, along with the cousin and MC Lytes charachter. None of these charachters really improved this movie.
2. Treach was terrible as well. He's always been a terrible actor to me, ever since Jasons Lyric! In fact, imagine Treach's charachter in Jasons Lyric, well it's the same charachter here just bald!
3. And this plot twist that every one is talking about was not that big of a suprise. I figured it out the first time the "other woman" came to the house. If you pay close attention you'll see this plot twist and it is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO dumb.

The only thing anyone has said about this movie that I agreed with is Allen Payne and Elise Neil had good chemistry. I would love to see them together again.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but could've been better, June 2, 2007

This review is from: Playas Ball (DVD)
The movie was good, however the additional characters with the cook and MC Lytes and the cousin should have not been in this film as they took away from the movie. Elise Neal is such a great actress and Allen Payne acting was surprising not good as he is a good actor also.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ghetto Drama, May 31, 2007

This review is from: Playas Ball (DVD)
This was a pretty good movie. They had a few ghetto characters. But I must admit that Treach & Allen Payne are pretty easy on the eyes. It had a great twist at the end which was totally opposite of what I thought was going 2 happen. It was unpredictable which is a plus 2 me.
