Lil' Pimp (2005)

The Age of Commercialism

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

The acting in this movie is really good.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

I mean really, really, REALLY high and this movie has a shot at entertainment. I don't mean regular high, i mean the high where reading the phonebook would have you in stitches. otherwise save the time out of your life and go do something more constructive with it, like hitting your head on a brick wall and insulting your own intelligence. A complete waste of talent in some cases (Bernie Mac, John C. McGinley, Tom Kenny, and the master of hams Shatner) and exactly the kind of crap they deserve to make (the myriad of rappers who insist on making movies). Not without it's laughs (again chemical aid is crucial) and certainly not without offending the politically over-sensitive (which I'm always in favor of) but ultimately not worth the time out of your life.

Lil' Pimp. Interestingly enough I found this movie amusing. I am the kind of person that loves cheesy horror flicks and despises American Pie wannabe cliché' films. But this different. Fair enough it has some crude humor and a rather extensive use of the word M*****F****R, but hey, Pimps swear, if the movie didn't have swearing then it wouldn't be able to live by its name. The innuendo I found funny. THIS IS NOT A KIDS MOVIE. adults like cartoons too, and its about time they made one that is for adults. The flash, was colourful and disjointed to imitate an amateur Internet flash. THIS WAS OBVIOUSLY DELIBERATE. The fact that "good" produces and flash stylists made this film makes it apparent that they could have made the film very jointed and plausible BUT they make it cheesy for a reason. It is the same kind of humor that attracts people to South Park. It is the amateur "style" that mimics the techniques of South Park. Its not meant to be like South Park, its purely the concept. (this is all personal opinion and I'm sure there's people that disagree) In conclusion you pretty much need to see the movie to apprehend whether you would find it amusing or not. Honestly I found this movie 100 times funnier than Neopolean(mental block on how to spell that) Dynamite. Ps. I am sure Weathers is meant to be some sort of Gerbill thing, rather than a rat. :P

This is one of the few films that hits the nail on the head. They set about making a kid a pimp and they succeed, while having a laugh along the way. The choice of characters is superb, as well as being extremely well scripted. Bernie Mac was made for the part of Fruit Juice, and there was no better choice for Tony Gold than William Shatner.With a pretty much all star cast the only things that were lacking was length (113 mins isn't long enough), and the total lack of advertisement. I stumbled across this little gem in my local video shop and only rented it to see what the deal was with having a comedy legend such as Bernie Mac teamed up with Captain Kirk. The Results? a masterpiece!

This was a fantastic movie with the sort of stupid humour that you expect to see from any Flash presentation. The characters were well defined and everything you expect, the actors were top-notch, and there was just the right level of comic naughtiness!! We have seen plenty of movies over the years with humour just this side of stupidity and obscenity. Just take a look at the movies Pootie Tang and Friday After next. Pootie Tang took the hero to a totally new and unvisited level (rivalled only by radio segments such as Chicken-Man) when everything about the main character is brought into question (including the way they talk).For the right type of person this new movie media type is a real goer!! As a first attempt I think they raised the pimp-hand and found that it was way strong! I would like to see more movies done in this fashion (maybe something along the lines of a feature film payout).The problem that this film is suffering with is not only a lack of advertising but a misdirection of audience. I only stumbled over this movie by chance and though that it would be a bit of a laugh and a giggle (knowing nothing about it and assuming that it had something to do with the Little Pimp character from the movie Friday After Next). Boy was I pleasantly surprised. For a few grand I could easily get enough advertising happening for a film like this...it sells itself.Instead of the blurb talking about how it rivals SouthPark, it should read more along the lines of Pootie Tang, Friday After Next, White Chicks, and Soul Plane. Each of these movies have found the right level of humour, matched it with the right actors (with the right type of voice) and come out with a little known blockbuster.
