Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
zegerv Don't waste your time watching this terrible movie. It combines elements from popular movies, but fails in bringing a narrative that is either interesting or logical. The comedic aspect of it was campy at best and the drama unrealistic, which is sad because the movie had a lot of potential.
jacksonalvey Overall, it was an entertaining movie. Good acting by everyone, but for me, the story left a little to be desired. The beginning is great. It grabs your attention, really paints an interesting picture of what life is like for these kids, and helps you sympathize with them in their plight of being "losers". The dialog is excellent, and the story is fun and entertaining. However, the second half moves far too quickly, and it feels much less thought-out than the first half. The resolution of the problem just comes out of nowhere, goes seamlessly, and then the credits are rolling. I would have liked to see the film take a similar tack to how it began. It just feels like it's on fast-forward to get to a quick ending. In spite of that, it's hard not to enjoy this film, especially if you're into old school hip hop like me.
lrtb-34348 This movie is not perfect, it will not be a cult classic, and it is not the most deepest movie, but, this is funny as hell. God, I just loved this movie. I want to remark specially the acting, it was so good. I need to say it : I felt in love with Kiersey Clemons (Diggy), she is such a beauty !!!A thing that put me a bit down is the over positivism of this. But, is a comedy, and, because I had a very good time watching it, I can pass over it.As I said, it is not the most deepest movie, it is not a classic, but it is funny as hell.8/10
Objectivity I had never heard of this film yet it was 7.3 on IMDb with over 50000+ voters.Then I saw that Pharrell Williams was an executive producer on the film, so I was "Happy" to try it - :-).What a different, enjoyable, and eventually rewarding film.The film is about someone who is not just different from the standard stereotypes, but also ..... DIFFERENT ! And that tells you all you need to know before you watch it !Watch it till the end - this film gets better and better throughout the entire film, culminating with a really rewarding end.I loved it.
