Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

subxerogravity Let's get the obvious out of the way...It's not Magic Mike.I assumed that this movie would be the difference between Vanilla or chocolate. What is your preference ladies?Chocolate City is like every other movie I've seen on Bounce TV or BET late night when I'm flipping though the channel. The only difference is it's about Male stripping, but that is not much of a difference. It tries to go over the what it's like to be a professional exotic dancer but the film was too by-the-numbers to be anything but dull, and I'm not interested enough in the ups and downs of male pole riders to do nothing but sleep through it.Barely worth making fun of.

lm_crawford I was upset this was not in a theater near me so thanks BET! I've only been to two strip clubs in my life...one in Miami...and this movie right here captured the authenticity 💯%! If you missed it...don't listen to others reviews...watch it for yourself! I truly enjoyed this movie much more than the Mike move. The acting was on point. Michael Jai White...very convincing...Dee Jay...funny as always...loved seeing Imani back on the screen...Darin dang you still got it....alright now Tyson...Vivica...yep you played that mama...Ri'Chard wow hard to say this since we watched you grow up on television/ movies...YOU DID THAT CUTIE PIE! THEN they threw in the pros....good gawd Bolo!!!!! The others were great too...just don't know who was who but for a good night out....all will do! There were also some surprise cameos...ya'll did good!My bottom line: Hands down...better script, better acting and DEFINITELY BETTER DANCERS AND DANCING ROUTINES! Will watch again and again!

haywiresbayb Well, my mother said "Chocolate City" is better than "Magic Mike". She has already watched it like 10 times. I haven't seen "Magic Mike" yet but i think women will really enjoy "Chocolate City". Robert Richard from the television show "One on One" definitely gave a hot, engaging performance. Tyson Beckford's performance was hot as well but i hate his character in this movie. He made me want to punch him in the face..LOL :) This is not for men unless you are into men Ha! Ladies, i don't think your man would want you to watch this movie so try to watch it when he is not around..LOL. Anywho, I think the movie is great! Go check it out!

givemecouture The gorgeous Robert Ri'chard stars in a typical college student- come-stripper story in Chocolate City. Urged by his brother Chris McCoy, played by a sorta-funny DeRay Davis, Michael McCoy somehow finds his way (who really cares how he got there we just care that he is there) to a dance floor where he dances topless for cash. I don't want to spoil the movie for you (ha ha) but I must say, I don't understand why anyone who is even remotely attracted to the male species would give this movie less than 10 stars. This movie delivered EXACTLY the package it sells, and more. The dancers unfold like chocolates out of a Godiva box! Bitter Dark (Tyson Beckford), Sweet Caramel (Robert), Hunky Milk Chocolate (don't know his name but he is the first dancer and he alone was worth the ticket). The dancing was crazy! 1000% better than Magic Mike (sorry Channing) on sexiness of the dance, much smoother and gave you a glimpse at what REALLY goes down in the club, not the watered down version. Moral of this critique is - if you like looking at hot men, you will LOVE this movie. If you are looking for a great, life changing movie with an amazing script that grips your emotions and inspires you to look at life differently you will probably not find that here. Unless of course you started the movie not liking men and then by the end became a full fledged queen, which I could totally see happening. They were that hot.
