Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Four Bronx buddies spend an evening cruising for girls and getting into trouble as they tool around the South Bronx. But as episodic and aimless as this film seems, it is built around strong performances by its four leads: Mario Joyner, Nestor Serrano, John Leguizamo and Doug E. Doug. But writer-director Joseph Vasquez gives each guy a distinctive personality and uses their various adventures to examine just how dead-end life seems to this quartet of black and Hispanic buddies--and which ones have a chance of breaking out. Leguizamo is particularly intriguing as a sensitive type who is looking for an actual relationship with a woman, rather than hit-and-run sex, while Joyner is solid as the voice of reason in the group. And Doug E. Doug has a jack-in-the-box comic energy that's undeniable. --Marshall Fine

A small film classic

For anyone who's ever had a Friday night out with the boys, this movie is for you.

Let's start with the cast. The director, Joseph B. Vasquez, certainly had an eye for talent. John Leguizamo, Doug E. Doug, Nestor Serrano, and Mario Joyner are the cast. Even if you don't know all their names, you know their faces. For many of them this was the beginning of their careers. Similar to the way that THE OUTSIDERS helped launch the careers of Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, etc. but on a lesser scale, of course.

The movie takes place on a Friday night with four very different friends hanging out in the Bronx. There's Johnny, who's not sure whether or not to go to college, Vinnie, a Puerto Rican who thinks he's Italian and lives off various women, Tom, an aspiring actor, and Willie, who gets by on welfare.

They couldn't be any more diffeent and it is thier differences and the way they approach similar situations that makes this movie so funny. There's really no "real" plot it's just the guys hanging out and in the process learning about each other and themselves.

It is funny with some mildly serious undertones. Not too many people I know have seen it but when i show it to them they do enjoy it. Sadly, the director died of AIDS shortly after the movie's release due to his heroin use. It looked like he could have been a major force in cinema but his mental health and drug use put an end to that.

This Movie is great I never had so much fun watching it and for those who want a good comedy "Hanging with the Homeboys" is the movie for you. Many would relate to this movie since it takes place in the Hood and this movie reminds me of the good times i had with my friends. The movie was well directed and the actors were great especially Nestor Serrano who delivered a good performance as Vinny and the great John Leguizamo who also did a great performance as Johnny, Doug E. Doug had me laughing has well and Mario Joyner also did a Great job. I also enjoyed the drama in the movie, which makes it more realistic and more worth watching. If you want a good comedy-drama movie than don't hestiate and buy this movie I will guarantee you'll love it.

I love the movie! It is awesome! It really deals with life and how your friends change! Plus it gives you a turning point about going your separate ways! It deals with a few morals to this film! That is what I like about this movie! It also tells us who your real friends are and plus it is a lesson learn when it comes to your so-called friends! You watch who you hang with at all times!
