Foolish

Rating:
Summary: This is a really good movie that is very funny
Review: I like this movie because of the low budget street vibe it had to it. Master P movies always remind me of an old Dolemite flick. While watching you can almost tell that he knows he's not a good actor and that is what is so funny. They have a very prospourus future in movies.

Summary: This movie is not good at all.
Review: I was foolish for renting this film. I like Eddie Griffin, he is talented, and funny so I was kind of hoping it would be kind of decent. Huge mistake!!! This is NOT a must see movie. The only thing you can do is leave this film on the shelves.
Master P really needs to give up the acting dream. Either give it up or take some lessons!!! He is a dull and unemotional as an actor. It's painful to watch. The movie is about two brothers overcoming their differences and eventually coming together for a common goal. Master P wants Foolish to do comedy at his club he is opening.

Andrew Dice Clay has a forgettable cameo appearance in the movie. The talented supporting cast really wasted their acting chops in this film (Marla Gibbs as their grandmother, Bill Nunn, Jr. Bill Duke and Clifton Powell). This movie has a weak story line. I have a sense of humor, but I need for my movies to entertain me in all aspects and this movie does not do that. This movie tried to do too much. It tired to funny, dramatic and it did not work. It was like trying to mix and oil and water in this film.

Save yourself the trouble and rent or purchase Dysfunktional Family. A lot of the jokes Eddie G does in this film he will do in Dysfunktional Family. In fact even My Babies Daddy (Eddie G stars in that as well) is better then Foolish, and even that movie was not all that great, but I laughed while watching that, and hardly even chuckled while watching Foolish. After you sit through this movie all you will do is hold your head saying ugggghhhhhh!! I've seen it, and I will never watch this movie again. I won't be foolish twice.

Rent these movies with Eddie Griffin instead:
1. My Babies Daddy
2. Dysfunktional Family
3. Undercover Brother

Summary: Ok movie not to great
Review: Other reviewers have given this movie a hard time, but it is unwarranted. While it is true that the plot is a bit on the weak side, the whole purpose of the movie is to make you laugh. It succeeds admirably in this. Foolish is basically an Eddie Griffin comedy show intermingled with a movie. The movie itself is your standard fare. It was fun to see Marla Gibbs again and Master P made further strides, successfully I might add, to become a mainstream actor. The spot where Foolish really shines is the stand-up routines. Eddie Griffin is one of the best comics out there. It's unfortunate that he hasn't had more exposure. All of his material was fresh and funny. When he was onstage, I couldn't stop laughing! Only once during the film was I disappointed. This was when Griffin gave a monologue that Chris Rock originated in Bigger and Blacker. Even though it was a bit plagerized, this single flaw doesn't detract from the film, especially if you haven't seen Bigger and Blacker. Overall, I feel that you will ultimately be satisfied by this film if you keep your expectations in line. This film is not the outstanding plot-driven comedy you may be searching for, but if you are looking for some hilarious standup, Foolish will have you rolling!

Summary: It was ok for a rental
Review: The movie started out with a good story line and the stand up was pretty funny, but what happened to the rest of the story.

Rating:
Summary: Not that good!
Review: The movie was alright when dice was in it. But he was there only for about 10 minutes anyway. After that I started to fall asleep because the story became boring.

Rating:
Summary: The title says it all.
Review: This film is incredibly bad. If you have a taste for buffoonery and ghetto stereotypes, then "Foolish" will be your cup of tea. For the rest of us, stay wise and steer clear. This is 90 minutes of your life that you won't get back.

Review: This is the most non-funny movie i ever saw, Master P is trying to do 10 things at once, i mean, he is good, but he over does it with too many projects. music, movies, being in the NBA, & on, & on. most of the movie is Eddie Griffin doing stand-up comedy, and most of it is not funny. and thats the whole point of the movie. for Master P, i will admit that the "I GOT THE HOOK UP - THE COMEDY JAM" is very funny! watch that instead.
