Believe it or not, there's this math teacher at my school who's name is Ms. Parker. It's hard to even describe just how funny it was when one of us would pop into class every now and then for no reason and say "Hey Ms. Parker! You gonna let me FUCK you Ms. Parker?" Her exact reaction everytime was nearly priceless "WHAT! What was that?"
Yeah I know; we're all assholes in the States.

Despite an OTT and over excited Chris Tucker this is good.
It barely leaves Ice Cube's porch but it doesnt flag and has an awesome bully storyline that makes you want to punch the air at the end!

I don't think that I have ever watched a film before and felt so much the wrong colour, wrong sex and wrong age.

The tag line is ...
A LOT CAN GO DOWN BETWEEN THURSDAY AND SATURDAY...Insinuating loads going on but in actual fact not much happens; no story, no real plot just 'day to day business'
Not sure how real to life it is but it's enjoyable to watch. There's some great one liners, smirks and nods to pop culture in this.
I liked it, it was enjoyable it's no Kubrick or Hitchcock.
But hey it's horses for courses.... "And you know this! MAAAAN"Worth watching, interesting characthers, meandering storyline, decent soundtrack!

The lack of plot is made up by the humorous, synergetic relationship between Ice Cube and Chris Tucker in this hilarious take on the stereotypical Black community.
