While I believe that Terrance Henderson did a superb job in playing the part of DJay, a pimp with a dream and a heart of gold, I'm not at all impressed with the hustle or the flow of this movie. Ludicrous and Elise Neal, just to name a few, were not at all believable characters. If I hadn't known any better I would've figured it was a low budget film. I felt the movie to be far from realism and that there were plenty of parts that maybe should have been edited. Parts of the movie were outdated for the true-to-life Memphis scene. While I was not impressed with the movie and am wondering why it has become one of the most talked about summer flicks, I do recommend viewing. Although unrealistic and lacking intelligence, it is entertaining if you are looking for something that doesn't require thinking. I'm not convinced that this is the "black" movie that everyone shouldn't miss!
