Against all odds, the fast-talking hustlers manage to talk a legitimate hip-hop superstar (Young Jeezy) into putting on a big show. But they've only got 24 hours to sell out a massive concert hall.

Joe Leydon, Variety
It's a tailor-made role for Cube -- not surprising, considering he wrote the script -- and he plays it with his familiar mix of brash-talking bluster and brow-knitting frustration.

Humorless feature film that aspires toward a comedic pitch that should've never been placed in the hands of Ice Cube. Mike Epps, sure. But Cube is best bewildered, not fitted for clown shoes.

F.X. Feeney, L.A. Weekly
Everything builds to a fairly careless climax.

Ice Cube and Mike Epps' much-delayed fourth screen teaming has to be a landmark of some sorts in how a company's complete lack of concern for its own product could not be more brazenly apparent.
