I liked this movie. It wasn't one of those overbearing romantic comedies where it's all in your face that they'll end up together. Cedric was the MVP, and Gabi nailed her last scene. Chris' character was sympathetic enough. I'd watch this again.

Saw it last night... parts with Cedric the Entertainer and Rock's family were funny as fukk, but the scenes with Rock and Rosario Dawson walking around was damn near putting me to sleep. I didn't like her character at all and their dialogoue bored me
this. i was into the movie for the most part but the longer they just walked around talking, the more i tuned out

Just watched this one. Didn't know if it was supposed to be good or what it was really about but I was pleasantly surprised. Easily Rock's best movie. Had some really funny moments but some good bits of truth and characterization as well.

Thought the ending was really cool. We know what happens next but I'm glad they didn't show it in that typical Hollywood BS fashion.

Did anyone else think this was loosely inspired by Eddie Murphy's career?

:whoo::gladbron: BREHS!!! I haven't been paying attention to this movie, but I'm currently listening to the podcast review for this movie from movietrailerreviews.net (http://www.movietrailerreviews.net/index.php/movie/top-five-review/) and them nikkas was talking about this basically a Black version of a Judd Apatow crew movie (Along the lines of 2009's "Funny People") and this 1 of the best black movies they done seen in the last 20 years.

Yeah, this feels pretty accurate. It feels like it could be an Apatow Movie like "Funny People" or "This is 40".

I'm late as fukk but just finally saw this. Great movie. Surprised the fukk out of me considering I had seen nothing but lukewarm reviews from people I knew. Good story, funny ass scenes through. All the cameos was killer. This will be one of the few movies I'll actually scoop a physical copy of.
