Fresh

Top critics, in their words
Fresh
A crudely made, sometimes funny bit of porchfront humor from the 'hood.
Todd McCarthy, Variety
Fresh
This is a ruder, cruder version of the hip-hop movie House Party, and it offers a fascinating glimpse at the way street life enters pop culture.
Caryn James, New York Times

Cube is amusing, though he's really playing straight man to Tucker's frenetic and energized Smokey.
Richard Harrington, Washington Post
Fresh
Dirty, offensive, infantile and may launch a few sanctimonious opinion columns. And I mean that in the nicest way.
