Tom Keogh Written by and starring a rapper named Master P., I Got the Hook-Up is inclined toward a certain, winning mockery of caricatures in the South Central area of Los Angeles. It also has a reasonably clever plot that adds a bit of welcome tension to the story.
Luck comes to town when a van full of cellular phones falls into their possession.
Black and Blue sell the items on the street, and Black establishes a sweetheart deal with a girlfriend who works for the company that activates the phones' accounts. Soon, much of Black's neighborhood is illegally wired for free cellular accounts, and the phone company is looking for the culprits. There's also some mayhem involving phone signals being picked up by radios. When a local crime boss is overheard ordering his lackey to grab some money stored in a locker, the entire community goes in search of the dough. Martin gets a little comic snap out of all this, but the film constantly diverts itself with gross-out sex and bathroom jokes.
