    The movie's charm lies in it's length. It's short enough to make you avoid screaming with boredom.

    Anthony Anderson will never win an Oscar. But he can still make you laugh just once. That's about as far as my compliments go. The rest of the cast are pathetic. From wooden acting...( read more) to plain annoying (Regina Hall's horrid, fake silky voice) stereotypes, we have a whole range of formido on offer.

    The story is really laughable. It's offensive to black people, those who own a business and women, among others.

    Just skip it, if you take me seriously.
