Summary
It’s all about being cool and not getting killed.
Review
I have a mixed review on this movie. It’s not bad, but this cast could have been better. Vince Vaughn was hilarious as the white dude who thinks he is black, but Vaughn’s character was easy not to like. So instead of laughing at him, we kept hoping that he would get killed. My biggest complaint has to be the fact that Uma Thurman does not roll over when she is topless, that could have given the movie a big boost. As for the good, I never knew Christina Milian was that hot! Even my girlfriend said she was sexy. Cedric the Entertainer and the Rock played great parts as well in this one. And Andre 3000 was not bad either. This movie certainly has some laugh out loud funny parts, but the actual plot of the movie is kind of weak. If you liked Get Shorty, you won’t like this movie.
