Buy it,its so f*ckin funny

I guess this was one of the earliest examples of a hip-hop movie with a load of hip-hop artist cameos. What really completes the movie is the performance by Dennis Leary. He is SOO funny as a police sargeant who has to deal with the 2 main characters, played by Ed Lover and Dr. Dre. The movie is somewhat dated but it's a fun experience to watch, as the two newest members of the NYPD bumble their way through a crime investigation they only seem privy to. It all works out in the end, and the day is saved. This was also a strong influnce on movies such as the Barbershop movies and the Friday series.

This video was made during the time that Dre & Ed were on MTV raps. Later they became DJs at Hot97 in New York. They were the funniest thing on the air at the time. This movie is an updated version of Abbott and Costello 90's style. It was more or less geared toward the teenage/young adult crowd.

For anyone to critique this for the acting, you would have to be kidding. It's a first time comedy production for the duo! Like Arnold Schwartzanegger or Sylvester Stallone are great actors --- PLULEEZE! GET OVER IT!

All in all if you like a silly movie that will make you laugh, this is a good one. If you do not want to buy it, check it out on TNT, Ted Turner will problably run it again during Black History Month (You know how that goes).

This movie is a classic and will always be a classic. If you are seeing it for the first time check out the barbershop scene. It is very, very funny! This is one of those movies that no matter how many times you see it, it never seems to get old.

Highly recommended!

Ed Lover and Dr. Dre team up with the uproariously funny Dennis Leary (Who is in a host of other Ted Demme films such as The Ref with Kevin Spacey and Judy Davis) to produce one of the better Hip-Hop films of the 90's. Cameos by many early 90s and late 80s rappers dont at all take away from the movie. Colin Quinn also plays a small yet entertaining role in this classic film.

This movie is one the most hilarious movies i have ever seen! Dr. Dre and Ed Lover are awesome as well as the numerous appearances by all of the major names in the rap world at that time. It is definately a must see for all lovers of rap.

A funny movie that laughs at its self. the two cops steal the show. Catch it!

This movie is so funny, i was literally hurting from laughing so much the first time i saw it. my personal favorite part is when the House of Pain shows up in the movie playing poker with Colin Quinn. I honestly think they should've gotten a bigger part in the movie. Denis Leary is outrageously hilarious. Every scene he is in is a guaranteed laugh riot. but then again, when is Denis Leary NOT funny?

Cashing in on their popularity at the time as hosts of "Yo! MTV Raps", Doctor Dre and Ed Lover play two mediocre Harlem barbers who decide to become police officers. When their best friend is murdered by a crooked land developer, they make it their point to find out what's really behind all the problems in the neighborhood. "Who's The Man?" will never be regarded as a cinematic masterpiece but it does get the most out of its two stars as well as the countless performers who make cameos (most of them are late 80's rap icons). Denis Leary, in particular, steals the show as a short-tempered superior officer whose profanity-laced tirades make for some first-rate entertainment. While this movie borrows quite a bit from other films (most noticeably "Beverly Hills Cop"), it never tries to take itself too seriously. The chemistry between Dre and Lover is solid and the wild over-the-top characters make for some amusing moments. If nothing else, it's worthy of "cult" status.

not as funny as I remember it, but the movie kinda dates itself. loads and loads of cameos if you liked MTV in the 80s and 90s.
