I couldn't find any thread on this and thought I'd get some comments on this. I know some of you may think it's a piece of crap, but I really like this movie.
Ice Cube and DJ Pooh (who starred as Red) wrote the story and this cat named F. Gary Gray directed it. I think this is one of those very funny movies that also has an important message. Yes, it's mainly a film about black life in the hood and I think there needs to be more movies like this. I know that pot was heavily used throughout the movie but I wouldn't say it was over-glorified as to what Craig's father says to him about fighting (I won't give away what I think is the best line in the movie). This movie delivers laughs and a good message about growing up in the hood. It is not a gangsta movie, so to speak. Any comments?
Next Friday and the 3rd are ok.
F. Gary Gray also directed
Italian Job, The (2003)
Man Apart, A (2003)
Negotiator, The (1998)

I remember finding it funny when i saw it. I have not watched it in a while.
The scene that just popped in my head is when Chris Tuckers character (Smokey i think?) is having the dream he is locked in the chickan coup. That was hilarious.
it wasnt a dream
It is a firm favorite of mine, I've seen it loads of times.
favorite line.
Mr. Jones [on toilet]: Boy, get your ass in here. I smelled your shit for...22 years. Now you can smell mine for five minutes.

Smokey: Puff puff, give. Puff puff, give. You're fuckin' up the rotation.
The director has a cameo as the guy mopping the floor in the store where Ezal fakes his slip n fall.
Everyone I've shown this film to has liked it, which has to say something.

Craig and Smokey ask Red how his eye was doing. As Red removes his glasses, the reply with a drawn out "DAAAAAAAAMN!"
I got mind control over Deebo. When he say shut up - I be quiet. But when he leave, I be talking again.
Smokey, you know I ain't the smartest man in the world, but, from back here it look like you're taking a shit!
Craigs dad: I grab a dog. I choke him and I kick the shit out of him. All day long got my foot up a dog's ass. Just bang, bang, bang up his ass. That's my pleasure.
Reverend: What we call drugs at the 74th Street Baptist Church we call the sin of sin sins.
