Phanofmuzik-2 I watched this movie one boring night with a bunch of friends who swore to god it was the worst movie ever made, so of course we have to watch it.Honestly, they were absolutely right. It was one of the more fun nights of my life too. Couldn't stop A: laughing at how bad it was, and B: staring in disbelief something this bad could be made.There was really no comprehensible plot, no characters to like, no character development, nobody in the movie talks without the camera being pointed at them (conversations are quite funny because it just flips between each person over and over), no comedy, not really any redeeming factor outside of doing everything so poorly its enjoyable. Wayne Brady being in it is just icing on the cake, especially after the famous Chappelle skit. Pretty much the perfectly bad movie.I highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys hilariously bad movies and cant wait to watch it again with another group of friends on another boring night.
Newsense Yeah this movie made the IMDb bottom list for a good reason. Its stinks. We've seen this type of movie before with Above The Rim and Sunset Park but at least those movies were appealing. This movie is pretty much a brick.Premise: Cruise(Wesley Johnathan) and Tech(Anthony Mackie) are friends who have aspirations besides playing street ball. Cruise wants to go to college and Tech wants to pass his GED and go to college as well. Along the way of hustling people in street ball, they meet up with two women(played by Alicia Fears and Eva Pigford) as well as an unscrupulous promoter/agent Vaughn(played by Wayne Brady) who does anything in his power to sign Cruise and Tech.Opinion: The storyline is predictable and the acting is sub par. Its not like Wesley Johnathan and Anthony Mackie cant act. On the contrary they have potential but the juvenile script kills them. Cruise is a goof ball and Tech is childish and annoying. Eva Pigford is terrible but Alicia Fears shows some promise. Wayne Brady is funnier trying to be serious in this movie than his corny stand-up routines. Plus what would movies like this be without clichés and stereotypes. Tech is a reprehensible punk black man who not only puts his hands on the girl who genuinely likes him but he even comes close to punching her and Eva Pigford's character after he finds out that she sold Cruise out to a magazine. What black movie is complete without a black man who misdirects his anger beats up on women and drinks his pain away instead of taking his anger out on the people who caused his grief? Eva Pigford's character is a typical hood harlot who uses Cruise with the pregnant routine and dumps him when she realizes that he is not going to California and he is not going to play pro basketball. Gotta love the sickening portrayal of black women as gold diggers in these films by Follywood. And the scene where the hood rat was mouthing off about her no good boyfriend was to die for. You get the drift. This movie plays like a poorly written soap opera with stereotypes and clichés thrown into the mix. Then it tries to tug at your heartstrings with Cruise ending up in the hospital after an accident and tries to justify Tech coming within a hairsbreadth of punching out Eva Pigford's character after that she might have leaked the news of Cruise playing a street B-ball game with a rival basketball crew called "Platinum" for money. This film wallows in its predictability, stereotypes and clichés like a pig does mud. Yeah the edited basketball scenes are nice to look at but when that is all a movie has going for it than its a waste of precious time. Plus any movie that has Wayne Brady playing the villain is not steeped in reality. This movie is a certified brick. He aims. he shoots, air ball!
Afrobuggs I had great expectations when I was going to watch this movie... Rated 2nd worst of all movies, had given me a hope to enjoy bad acting, director, music, etc...Already in the first scene I noticed the good music(not especially "good", but proper and suitable). The acting wasn't bad at all, and the movie switched nicely between the basket playing and the street life... If it wasn't for a thin story I'd perhaps given it 8/10 or 9/10, but 7/10 will do...I generally don't like, sorry for the expression, movies with "nigga"-talk and gangs, but this one had a meaning, and the end of the movie was brilliant... You could see how he'd learned throughout the movie, and was a dynamic person(and all you idiots who voted 1/10 or 2/10 probably doesn't know what that means...) Finally, I'd like to say that I've seen hundreds, and yes, I literally mean HUNDREDS, of movies worse than this, and only a few better... GO OUT AND WATCH THIS MOVIE, DON'T BE AFRAID OF ALL THE BAD COMMENTS MADE...
gradyharp CROSSOVER has style. Writer/director Preston A. Whitmore II makes up in visual technique and pacing what he lacks in a somewhat tired script, and simply sitting back and watching the movement for this viewer makes the movie worthwhile.The story details the mechanisms of the underground betting on streetball in Detroit - basketball teams that that serve as betting pawns for promoters. Caught up in the flashy court skills are two close friends - Tech (Anthony Mackie), who has a crime record and dreams of plying pro-ball for the NBA, and Noah Cruise (the very fine and hunky Wesley Jonathan) whose goal is to use his streetball earnings to enter college and medical school. The friends' big rival team is headed by Jewelz (actual ball player Phillip "Hot Sauce" Champion) and the betting setups between these two rival teams strikes the flame for the action that follows. Of course there is the requisite romantic interest (both for good and bad) brought to play by fine actors Alecia Jai Fears, Shelli Boone and Eva Pigford and in the end the story is more about friendship and trust and commitment than it is about winning.Whitmore elects to cut and splice his shots of the games like a DJ on a record spin and that aspect of the film is fascinating and creative. He also capitalizes on a fine chemistry that Anthony Mackie and Wesley Johnson generate. The plot is predictable and the story has been done before, but in the end the film satisfies because of the way it plays - and because of the choreography on the court! Grady Harp
