Who's the Man? (1993)

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

Excellent but underrated film

best movie i've ever seen.

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.

This is a decent Hip Hop whodunit Comedy, that gave me a few chuckles, as it's an alright time waster but nothing more. All the characters are alright, and the story is amusing enough, plus while it was amusing for one watch, I don't think it would be something I would watch again. I found this at a pawn shop for 1$ so i decided to buy it, and the performances are fun, especially Dennis Leary's hilarious performances, plus Ed Lover and Doctor Dré are fun as the two dimwitted Rookie cops!. It has a short running time so it's painless, and the ending was pretty funny as well, plus it's decently made and written in my opinion. The whole no donut's thing for Dr.Dre with Dennis Leary cracked me up each time, and This should at least be a bit higher then 4.6 in my opinion, plus it's got a couple of scenes with the famous Bernie mac as it was quite funny to see him in a film like this!. The title was amusing for me, and I surprisingly found a lot of the black humor very funny at times, plus there's not really a villain either. This is a decent Hip Hop Whodunit Comnedy, that gave me a few chuckles, as it's an alright time waster but nothing more, still worth the watch. The Direction is decent. Ted Demme does a decent job here with OK camera work, good angles and keeping the film amusing and at a fairly fast pace throughout. The Acting is pretty fun actually. Ed Lover and Doctor Dré are great fun together and brought most of the laughs to to the film as the two dim witted Rookie cops, they were likable and cracked me up I dug them!. Ice-T and Bernie Mac have very short roles but both do fine as it was amusing to see them. Denis Leary is absolutely hilarious in his role he had me in stitches a lot of the time, if only he had more screen time, because I loved him!. Rest of the cast are fine. Overall worth the watch. **1/2 out of 5

Anyone who is a fan of Dr.Dre and Ed Lover would have certain expectations for any film from the duo. "Who's the Man?" far exceeds those expectations.And if you are a fan of music or rap in general it is still brilliant. If you are not a fan of any of these things then its brilliance is lost on you so go and watch Gone in 60 Seconds you ignorant fool. "Who's the Man?" funny, silly, creative, relevant, full of cameos, and includes an impeccable soundtrack (including a complete performance of Naughty By Nature's "Hip-Hop Hooray"). I give credit to Ted Demme, it takes balls to direct a spoof with a straight face, but that's just what he did; and, for the most part, he succeeded (although some jokes do fall flat). An no film has ever gotten so much out of cameos. Everyone who was on MTV in the early 90's was included in this film (except for the disappointing exclusion of Jon Stewart). Over 50 hip-hop stars, and Colin Quinn, Dennis Leary, Kurt Loder, Bill Bellamy... This is movie belongs in the same company of A Hard Day's Night, Purple Rain, Gimme Shelter, High Fidelity, and The Commitments as a movie that perfectly blends film and music. A true cinematic achievement.

Come on, people! This is when hip-hop really started to appeal to the masses, and if it's dated, then so am I! This film has moments that make the entire experience worthwhile. There are some jokes that are still genuinely funny, and the "message" continues to be timeless: do good by people and do good by your neighbors and your neighborhood.If you are at ALL a fan of hip-hop (hell, I'm a white girl from the midwest, so if I call myself a fan, I should think that everyone who ever drew breath has to be *something* of a fan), you're going to enjoy this one, if for no other reason than the innumerable cameo apperances! You can see some favorites who have sadly left this realm (Run DMC), or those who started in hip-hop and found their way to the Academy Awards (go ahead, Queen Latifah!). And this is where I might be dating myself a bit, but has hip hop been as good since these days? I put this DVD on and find myself rump-shakin throughout the house. Yeah, I might have mentioned -- white girl from the midwest. :)American Beauty this ain't. But if you want some giggles on a Friday night, and it's a cheap rental, I can't say a bad thing about this flick. It makes me wish "Yo! MTV Raps" was still on the air, and that's one helluva statement.

African-American comedies have always appealed to me. Movies like HOUSE PARTY, CLASS ACT, and DON'T BE A MENACE TO...... After seeing movies like I GOT THE HOOK UP and FRIDAY, I started to lose my feel for them. But I was going through my video library and came upon WHO'S THE MAN?. The movie had some down right funny jokes, fast paced, and good music. It was also interesting to see an all-star hip-hop cast. Give this one a try.
