Nothing in this world needs a hard-hitting satire like daytime talk shows. Unfortunately, this movie only spends a few minutes in the realm of 'Jerry Springer', and instead centers on some idiotic plot involving Dangerfield and some buffoonish governor. Rodney has a number of funny lines (about four), but his energy goes to waste..... this movie is dull, plodding, stupid, and a complete waste of a chance to kick daytime talk shows in the ribs. I'm pretty sure that no good movie has ever been made that has featured Morton Downey, Jr.

When CB4 lampoons the rap industry (and its image in white society), this movie really rolls. When it goes back to the 'plot' of the film (involving some jailed gangster and his revenge on CB4), you might have to fight to stay awake. Thankfully, the first hour of the movie is content to be a satire, and takes many well-aimed shots at 'gangsta rap' and the stereotypes it perpetrates. However, as soon as CB4 begin to wonder what they've become, you might want to hit the ol' fast-forward button. (Melodrama and cliched plot are murder for satires.) Chris Rock is funny as always, and the rest of the cast is surprisingly solid.

One of the few 'witty' movies out there..... not merely funny, but insanely clever and brain-ticklingly hilarious. The movie trucks along, laughing at every music industry cliche in the book, and even the artists themselves. Some scenes make me laugh until I cry... and this could be a front contender for the "Movie With The Most Memorable Lines." I won't spoil any of the details.... if you need to laugh, and are sick of the music industry, you can't possibly top this movie.
