Nice effects though.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

I've heard various stories about CB4, so finally I had the conclusion that I just have to see this piece. CB4 covers all my funny prejudices about the gangsterrap culture, and starts out with a small crew who wants to end up like rap stars - it's all about the beat and the attitude! Chris Rock just plays his role like a mad man, so good and so real! I just laughed the whole time this piece rolled in the VCR, and these scenes who are shooting parody of the gangsterculture just takes home the first prize award - it's too much of the good stuff! It has a good point after all, and when the ending credits roll I felt that this was a true piece of acting - funny and creative as it does not follow any other film formula I've yet seen so far. 7/10!

Even for a SNL-actor related movie, this is pretty bad... I found myself only laughing out loud a few times (and not even hard laughter; more like chuckling). This movie fails at comedy AND general entertainment. I guess if you saw the group N.W.A. as a bunch of poseur rappers this could be hilarious (but then why did Ice Cube and Eazy-E have cameos in this???) because that is how this movie plays out most of the time. The stage performances by CB4 are the highlight of this film. Second to that would be Chris Elliot, who had a very small yet somewhat amusing role. Chris Rock was not nearly as funny as he is as a stand-up comic. If you want to see a much better parody of rap see Fear of a Black Hat, which was much more amusing. Whatever you do, don't see this. Please.

This Movie Is The Most.....Craziest and Stupidest films I have seen. But there's more...The Movie is funny and entertaining and a good rap genre musical.The movie has: Sex Scene. Language. and Parody Violent Content.SPOILER: The funeral scene in a church where the man gave the dead man two black eyes because of some money he owed him. Now I give that a *** out of ****

whether you hate rap music or you don't this is one of the funniest movies about rap music. CB4 pokes fun at west coast gangsta rap that was popular in the early 90's- this had to be one of Chris Rock's funniest roles ever!!! The songs are really funny and all the characters in this movie make it what it is- from Chris Elliot to Phil Hartman.
