they are correct , but the money comes at a price . the film is knowledgeable about details of the clubs : the camaraderie of the dancers , the flamboyance of the owner and grandiloquence of the doorman , the way the bartenders and the disc jockey keep an eye on the action , and the needy absorption of the customers .

the movie doesn ' t preach , but it has values . it sees the players club as a job , and the women there as workers , not sex objects . it ' s work that pays well , but at a price , and although diana has rules about drugs and sex , ebony seems like an excellent candidate to crash and burn . i liked ice cube ' s ambition in writing so many colorful characters and juggling them all at the same time .

diana ends up working at a shoe store , when she meets ronnie ( chrystale wilson ) and tricks ( adele givens ) , who work for dolla bill ( bernie mac ) at the players club . they convince diana she would make better money stripping , by saying ,
use what you got to get what you want .
an unwed mother ' s struggle to get her college degree leads her to dancing at the player ' s club , a seedy southern strip bar filled with criminal mischief .
meanwhile , dolla bill gets confronted by a man who works for st . louis , a drug lord to whom dolla bill owes $ 60 , 000 . he warns dolla bill if he doesn ' t make a payment of $ 10 , 000 to st . louis , he will hunt him down . that same night , st . louis comes to his club to collect . little man , who is the doorman of the club , tells st . louis that dolla bill is not at the club and they leave .
basically the story of a man forced to finally see the injustice around him . riley’s movie is designed to do the same thing to you . …
diana then begins dating blue ( jamie foxx ) , a dj at the player ' s club . meanwhile , ebony is offered a gig to dance at ronnie ' s brother junior ' s ( samuel monroe jr . ) bachelor party , under the pretense from ronnie that other girls from the club will be dancing there , too ( ronnie herself understandably had no desire to strip for her brother ) .
dolla bill gives diana a job , giving her the name diamond . everything is fine until four years into the game , her younger lost - minded cousin ebony armstrong ( monica calhoun ) comes to live with her . after listening to dolla ' s rendition of
the strippin ' game
, she starts working at the club .
anthony johnson as lil man : the club ' s doorman who is frequently taunted and harmed by st . louis and his crooks when he covers up for dollar bill ' s absences .
calling the old man out : this lead into the argument and estrangement with diana ' s father that lead her to become a stripper in the first place .
the guests at junior ' s bachelor party hear junior beating and raping ebony on the other side of the door , and instead of breaking down the door or calling for help , leave her alone with junior .
letting ebony get raped by junior and abandoning her in the hotel room was the last of many straws .
raped and beaten by the brother of the woman who freely admitted to raping her sleeping cousin for money .
ronnie & tricks are arrested by the police on charges of the rape of ebony and junior had been arrested moments before . later that night , diana ' s timing proves to be perfect when st . louis comes to collect . he personally shoots up the club ( though he does give warning to the customers beforehand , allowing them to leave ) .

what ' s interesting about
the players club
is how it moves through various tones and kinds of material . there ' s the documentary stuff , the crime story , diana ' s shaky romance with a new boyfriend , ebony ' s problems , and comic relief from the stylized dialogue of dollar bill and his doorman , l ' il man ( a . j . johnson ) . and then a strong underpinning of economic reality , as diana works hard to pay her bills and is encouraged by a professor after she finds herself falling asleep in class .
the movie stars a convincing newcomer named lisaraye as diana , who has a fight with her father over what college to attend . pregnant and jobless , she moves away from home , gets a job in a shoe store and is fairly happy until her child ' s father wants
more space ,
and abandons her . then she meets tricks and ronnie , two dancers at the players club , who tell her there are ways to make a lot more money .
after the heated confrontation , diana has a flashback of a time when she was at a private party with ronnie and tricks . the men at the private party offers to pay ronnie to perform cunnilingus on diamond who has passed out on the bed drunk . ronnie accepts the offer and proceeds to assault diamond , the flashback encourages diana to protect ebony .
when dolla bill , who was bailed out of jail and returned to his club , is notified that luke is at his club he alerts the strippers via a money alarm and believes he will gain a fortune profit . clyde tries to meet luke but his bodyguard ( michael clarke duncan ) informs clyde that luke is trying to relax and not meet with fans .
diana when she sees her journalism professor enter the strip club while she ' s doing a lap dance . turns out he ' s okay with her job as long as she makes a real effort to study .
as he try to leave reggie and clyde grab dolla , he is face to face with st . louis ' associate who had confronted him earlier and they both throw him into the trunk of his car . st . louis has brooklyn destroy the club with a law rocket .
janet maslin from the new york times called it
a hearty throwback to the formula behind ' 70s blaxploitation films .
please arrive at the theatre with plenty of time for the performance . you may not be able to take the seats you have reserved if you arrive after curtain , since late arrivals are disruptive and distracting for other patrons . if you are late , you will be seated at the discretion of the ushers .
after ronnie , trix and junior get carried away by the police , st . louis and his goons invade the club , blow it up and kidnap bill , presumably to kill him . they may be mobsters , but we ' re clearly not supposed to feel sorry for dollar bill
ronnie and tricks got jobs at club sugar daddy ' s after their release from jail . junior is serving time in prison for raping ebony and that he never got married . reggie and clyde were last seen at the freaknik in atlanta . st . louis is still
running the south
along with his crew brooklyn and kc . peters and freeman are still harassing people all day . little man is managing a strip club in chicago .
diana : i walked in a young lady . . . ' ' ( diana walks into the club wearing baggy clothes , cut to her leaving at night in a skimpy dress ) ' ' and came out a woman .
the next day as dolla bill tries to leave the club , he gets confronted by st . louis ' men , brooklyn ( charlie murphy ) and kc ( terrence howard ) . they beat him unconscious and throw him into the back of his car . luckily , for dollar however , they are stopped by freeman and peters , two crooked cops . however dolla bill is found in the trunk and is arrested on warrants .
a man on the run takes another man ' s passport , only to find himself stuck with the identity of a street hustler .
one of the funniest movies ever ! maybe the most underrated black comedy movie of our generation . cube does it again . . .
after the ending credits , two ice cube videos are shown . the first video is ice cube - we be clubbin . the second video is ice cube featuring mr . short khop - my loved ones .
diana , a young mom working at a shoe store meets two strippers , tricks and ronnie . they tell her that she should work at the playa ' s club for big money . the woman accepts and soon introduces her cousin into the club . then she finds out that her cousin is doing housecalls which tricks bribed her to do . one day diana returns to her house after almost being raped by an obsessed fan and finds her cousin sleeping with her ex - boyfriend . she kicks her cousin out and starts dating blue , a dj at the club . they go out one night and diana ' s cousin calls asking her to pick her up from a bachelor party . diana refuses and soon after her cousin is raped . now she has only one option , to put tricks in her place .
book ends : the story opens with diana working in a shoe store and two customers who are strippers ( ronnie and tricks ) convince her to become a stripper . at the end , ebony is working in the same store and two stripper girls visit , but she wisely confronts them about the worth of the stripping profession while diana is watching proudly .
the agent of julian draxler has spoken out amid speculation that arsenal are preparing a £32million transfer move for the paris saint - germain attacking midfielder .
dear reader , i think the movie players club had a good story line . the situation that diana was in can be related to many young women ' s situation in today ' s world . so many women in search for independence like diana have used strip clubs as a means to an end . however many ignorant individuals think that all strippers are whores and forget that maybe this job is a temporary position for some of these women . i think lisa raye did a good acting job and i hope hollywood considers her for other roles . ice cube should be applauded for an exciting movie .
peter stack from the san francisco chronicle said ,
the film writing and directing debut of actor and rapper ice cube , looks in a seriocomic way at the tawdry , exploitive life of a georgia strip joint . the lines between prey and predator are blurred in this raw , raucous movie .
the movie has strong scenes for all its major characters , including a boozy afterhours party thrown by some federal agents who hire ronnie and some of the other girls as strippers . ronnie knows these guys from earlier parties and plays the role of dominatrix . ( slapping one officer on the behind with a paddle , she says ,
that ' s one more for rodney king .
) the scene develops interestingly : at first we think ronnie may be in danger , and when we see she knows what she ' s doing , ice cube resists the temptation to go for a comic put - down of the agents and stays instead with the real tension of the tables being turned . the scene ' s effect depends on the way wilson plays it ; a less convincing performance , and we wouldn ' t buy it .
clyde insults the bodyguard causing him to hit clyde in the back of his head as he leaves , leaving him unconscious . in retaliation , reggie beats down the bodyguard and belligerently fights against luke and his friends , only for him to be defeated and thrown into a glass window . the dazed reggie opens fire wildly before being knocked unconscious by the bouncer xl ( tiny lister ) .

: ronnie , who attempted to rape diana when they were alone in the changing room at one point .
domestically , the film grossed $ 23 , 047 , 939 and $ 23 , 261 , 485 worldwide .
fair b quality movie depicting slice of black american strip club life in southern usa . story is good social commentary on said lifestyle ' s evils and dangers but the movie suffers from a rushed directorial style and lackluster performances even by pro actors who have displayed better in the past . this was probabably caused by lack of directorial discipline on ice cube ' s part due to budget constraints . you can realy tell the veteran actors were not paid properly and just cruised along as a favor for cube . too bad for the movie ' s story was a good idea , setting up for great drama , action , comedy , sex , social commentary and entertainment much like the winning formula of showgirls . i vote for a proper remake of this one ! but as of now , avoid this movie unless you really want a peek into that lifestyle or are a big fan of any of the lead actors . do not expect much sex scenes though for the focus on this one is social commentary . . . . . .
