SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
YouHeart I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
johngraef This is in the my top 20 films of all time. From start to finish an epic adventure of pimps making that money and pimping those hoes. There are just so many great lines. Make no mistake this is an educational film. I used this movie for fashion tips at Halloween. I learned how to treat a woman (women). I even learned my car needed a new horn.American Pimp builds confidence. Sometimes people don't understand what I'm saying. After seeing this movie I learned I actually do have a pretty good grip on the English language.It makes a great Christmas present.
jerchiappelli This documentary on a subject that everyone is at least mildly curious should have been much better. They clearly had access to all sorts of great fotage that they use very well. The way it was shot and put together was very nicely done but the material that they use is, well, boring. In the beginning you discover that pimps are loud, flamboyant, jerks who use poor English and that's it. Despite the intriguing questions that the interviewers asked and the different topics explored, very little else is discovered.
lbstb-2 If you really want to know about pimping this is the movie for you. I love the pimps in the movie and it really has a great soundtrack to it. My favorite pimp has to be Gorgeous Dre. His style is so unique, until you wish you were one of his girls. But to me the most tackest two has to be R.P. and C-note. Ladies, if you ever see these clowns in the streets try to avoid them at all cost.
charlie-paris I saw this last night and was surprised at how much I liked it. I have my own opinions about whether prostitution or pimping is wrong, but this documentary helped me understand why pimps pimp. Obviously there is something about pimping that keeps them in the game - money, sex, power etc. I never saw it from their perspective before. The interviewers did an amazing job of getting these guys to talk openly about what they do. I also enjoyed the colourful personalities some of the pimps have.
