Jails, Hospitals, and Hip Hop (2001)

Critic Reviews

• Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter

  While the results are mixed, credit must be given for their imaginative rethinking of the material.

• Jan Stuart, Newsday

  A little too 'opened-up' for its own good, but worth seeing for Hoch's nervy characterizations.

• V.A. Musetto, New York Post

  Hoch, for the most part, is able to pull it off and supply a frequent number of laughs.

• Dave Kehr, New York Times

  Hoch ... is a gifted performer who uses his mastery of rap rhythms to invest his characters with remarkable energy and definition.

• Dave White, IFilm

  Explores race issues without insulting your intelligence.

• Gregory Weinkauf, New Times

  This guy's a headache -- but when he's bagging on Jerry Seinfeld it's hard not to bust a smirk.

• Ken Fox, TV Guide's Movie Guide

  Hoch's considerable skill speaks to an extraordinary empathy and a willingness to understand where even the toughest customer is coming from.
