Ice Cube cowrote, produced, and stars in this action caper. Bucum (Cube) is a bounty hunter (get it?) with dreams of big money. Reggie (Mike Epps) is a small-time grifter who also has dreams of big money and is at the top of Bucum's list to boot. Yep, you guessed it: tough guy/funny guy buddy flick. All About the Benjamins is pretty much a by-the-numbers piece of work. There's plenty of macho posturing, gunfire, big-ticket items exploding, and curse words inserted into the script in lieu of actual punch lines. The plot has holes big enough to drive a locomotive through, but then again the plot isn't really the point. Epps's attempts at wacky comedy wear thin early on, but Ice Cube does a fine job, and together they do make quite a few moments hit. Best recommended for when you want turn-your-brain-off excitement. --Ali Davis

Product Description

Ice Cube and Mike Epps are the driving force of this high style, high impact, action/comedy. One's a top dog bounty hunter, the other a two-bit hustler. Add to the mix a botched diamond heist, a lost sinning lottery ticket, and one thing becomes clear...that it's All About the Benjamins.

5.0 out of 5 stars I give you "BENJAMINS", you give me funny!, September 30, 2002

By	Blackworm (Virginia Beach, VA) - See all my reviews

Here is a movie that you don't have to take seriously to have a good time. Ice Cube as a bounty hunter was really on the money, because he had the grit and savvy to pull it off, but the show belonged to Mike Epps, who played the con artist. Epps is no Chris Tucker, but he's also not afraid to go the distance, and that is what makes his appearances memorable. This time around, Mike portrays a con-artist with more on his plate than his latest scam. Not only is he being chased by Cube, but he makes the mistake of stumbling onto a murder involving 26 million dollars in diamonds. On top of that, he loses his wallet with the killers. Scary enough they know where you live, but what if the wallet contained a lottery ticket that your girlfriend paid for with her hard earned money, and it hit for sixty million? Throughout this flick, both actors looked like they were having a ball. If your looking for a load of comedy mixed with a little mayhem, this could be for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars I couldn't stop laughing!!, August 25, 2002

By	Queen Cleobethra "Lady of Actors" (The Land of Films) - See all my reviews

This review is from: All About the Benjamins [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This film is one of the funniest films I have seen all year. Ice Cube and Mike Epps work so well off of each other. Every scene they shared had a little something different to make us laugh. It's not like most buddy comedies where they take one funny idea and play it out making the film boring. These two will having you laughing from beginning to end!
And speaking of the beginning of the film, we get a great performance from my favorite actor, Anthony Michael Hall. Now I can honestly say I've seen AMH do it all. We finally get to see AMH play a trashy trailer park thuggin' blackish red hair sportin' ex-con with a flare for using the current slang like "cheese". " You don't get no real cheese anyway.."
" BABY! Get his ... baby, get him! Shoot that motha' ...! "

And I must say Ice Cube found a very clever way to use a tazer when trying to subdue Lil' J (AMH) This movie is non-stop laughs! Mike Epps is so goofy and it mixes so well with Ice Cube's hard core visage!
This movie is worth buying! It's a great film to watch with friends! Throw a party and have this movie handy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great action-comedy, June 3, 2002

By A Customer

I thought this movie was hilarious. Mike Epps and Ice Cube are a good team in this movie, combining comedy with action. I recommend this to own on DVD. Judging by the previews I thought this movie was going to be about another action heist resulting in a lot of money at the end, but to my surprise, Mike Epp made me and the whole theater laugh from beginning to end.
