Summary: The gloriously funny Epps and Cube make this junk tolerable
Review: Right before the opening credits hit in "All About The Benjamins," there is a moment where star/writer/producer Ice Cube takes a tazer to a man's genitals. It's rather appropriate, because if you're not a fan of Mr. Cube's, "Benjamins" will feel about as comfortable to sit through as that tazer's sting."Benjamins" stars Ice Cube as bounty hunter Bucum Jackson, sent on assignment to recover a bail jumper named Reggie Wright (Mike Epps). Reggie is in deep trouble. Not only did he witness a diamond theft and murder, but he also left his wallet - containing a winning lottery ticket - at the scene of the crime. Reggie's only help is Bucum, but the grumpy bounty hunter wants nothing to do with the felon, that is until 20 million in stolen diamonds becomes up for grabs. I'll give him this much: Ice Cube certainly knows his audience. "All About The Benjamins" is as familiar Cube terrain as a movie can get, filled to the breaking point with the fireballs, profanity and ad-libbed laughs that made his previous two "Friday" films such hits. However, this time out, Cube and his team are trying to resuscitate the buddy film genre, long since laid to rest in the land of straight-to-video releases. "Benjamins" is an old-school, Joel Silveresque actioner, circa 1991. It delightfully traffics in the business of over-the-top villains, gorgeous females, constant shoot-outs and one explosion after another. Long gone are the weed and sex jokes of the "Friday" films, here replaced with bullets and a bigger budget. Somehow, first time director Kevin Bray makes this work, if only slightly. A highly energized, stylishly directed film that actually features a perfect mood setting opening credit sequence, "Benjamins" can at least serve as eye candy if nothing else. The editing has no pulse, and the photography isn't all that interesting, but "Benjamins" at least moves. It's an action film without a brain, but the two charismatic stars to help it along, often tricking the viewer into enjoying this mess a lot more then should be allowed. What the people really have come to see is the reteaming of Cube and Epps. Fresh from their inspired work in "Next Friday," the duo returns here in "Benjamins" with the same easy back and forth comic touch. Think of them as the urban Hope and Crosby. While Ice Cube is his typical stoic self, Epps takes the comedy baton and runs like hell with it. Epps is hilarious in "Benjamins," making even the most painful aspects of the production seem like cherry pie with his alert comic timing and his gift for improvisation. This gift is so beloved by the filmmakers that they keep letting the camera roll on Epps as he does his free-flowing thing with the screenplay. Normally, a very destructive method to wring a laugh. But with Epps, it works. Cube and Epps make an impressive comic team, and they make the shamelessly hackneyed "Benjamins" a worthwhile sit for fans of the duo. Everyone else, save your benjamins and stay far away. ---------- 7/10

Summary: Very good plot and hella funny!
Review: This is a very good movie and Ice Cube has proven himself as a filmmaker. Mike Epps is one of the funniest people out there today and if you don't think so then you don't like or understand black comedy. That's cool though because a lot of times I don't understand white comedy. We as people just think different and there is nothing wrong with that. Anyway, before I get to deep with y'all out there, back to the movie. Like I was saying, the movie has a very good plot or theme to it. It was well thought out and was not just a movie to make you laugh, but make you think "what's go happen next." It had twist in it that you was not expecting. I don't want to write a whole two page article about the movie because it is time consuming and plus I'm not getting paid. I bought it before I ever saw it and I was very pleased with the purchase. Rent it or buy it, you won't be diasppointed.

Summary: A definite replayer!!
Review: I at first hesitated to rent the video, but did anyway one day, and laughed so much, tears were streaming from nowhere.
I replayed it about 4 times. It was unpredictably funny.
Mike Epps seemed to take his role very seriously as an actor in a very funny way. He played the story well, but I could not help but notice improvising of lines between him and Ice Cube in the movie. It worked out well anyway. Epps is more "the star" than co-star in this film. He's convinced me, he's to be up there with the big boys.
Take a chance and see it!
I am definitely buying!! ...

Summary: Yikes!!
Review: I Don't even wanna remember this junk.Ice Cube is a Cat that back in the day Made Some truly Great Music but after around 95 He truly fell Off&became one Big Logo.while I applaud His Success His work as a Film Maker&Music Maker leaves alot to be desired.as for Mike Epps? He is about as Funny as a Byron Allen Film or anybody that has Served as Host of the MTV Video Awards Show after Chris Rock.in other words it's very Wack Company.the Stunt Camera Work was interesting for a minute as was the Background Music in places but overall you gotta No.

Summary: Never thought it would be THIS bad!!!
Review: On first viewing of "Next Friday," I was disappointed. Not that i was expecting anything on caliber with the original "Friday," but perhaps something almost on par with it. However, after repeated viewing of "Next Friday," it grew on me....or should i say the character Day-Day (Mike Epps) grew on me. He has so much energy, but at the same time, his delivery seems laid back. So, in short, i liked the team of Cube/Epps and couldn't wait for another team-up on the big screen. However, "All About the Benjamins" is something i wish i could've forgotten and since viewing it only two days ago, i have mostly forgoten anything that happened in the movie. I was hoping that Epps would save this movie but he was gven nothing to do for the most part. He had his moments, but they were "short-lived" moments. Ice Cube is his usual self. I'm glad he is sticking to movies now. Cube isn't a bad actor. I give him credit for his roles in "Higher Learning" and "Friday." The fact is that he can't and shouldn't (co)write scripts anymore. Leave that to the people who actually know which buttons to push so that people actually laugh at a joke. Bottom line is that even if you enjoy the team of Cube and Epps, you should wait until "Friday After Next," which hopefully will not be as horrible as the trailer makes it out to be, to see them again. However, if you feel so compelled to see this, just remember that I told you so.

Summary: This movie is off the hook!!!
Review: If you are a Mike Epps fan like me, than you will LOVE this movie!! If you thought Epps couldn't get any funnier than he was in Next Friday, then you are wrong. From the beginning until the end, I was non-stop laughing at the the comedy in this movie. I have been waiting for so long for the DVD to come out, and I can guarantee you that it will go up on my shelf the day it comes out.

Summary: SIMPLY OUTRAGEOUS!!!
Review: Putting it in simple words, if Mike Epps is going to be in the movie, you know its going to be funny. Once again, Mike Epps has put his talents to work and made us all laugh who went to see the movie. This is a must own DVD for those who like to laugh. Let's not forget about Ice Cube either, he is a great actor. It's not everyday you see a rapper/rock star/pop singer/athlete, etc. who can actually act. I must recommend this DVD to everyone.
