Big Money Hustlas (2000)

As Good As It Gets

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

What this movie needed was more ideas and more planning. There are a couple of scenes in particular that just drag on. First, the fat woman scene. Okay, we get it... you like fat women. The people who would be laughing through this whole scene have got to be both high and retarded. What's the whole joke? She's fat. That's the joke. And we get to watch this disgusting creature jiggle around for I guess about 15 minutes straight. Second, the wrestling scene. Okay, we've all seen wrestling before. Mick Foley's acting was effortless... meaning he put no effort into it. The whole scene seemed very cheap, long, and pointless. But, no they have to show us every move this fat bastard has ever done because it's sooooo funny. It's amazing how John G. Brennan is so great with voices and I'm a fan of the Jerky Boys prank calls but his talents went underused. The Jerky Boys movie got terrible reviews... if you look at the ratings it's rated lower than this... but Jerky Boys was a waaaaaay better movie. It had a better story and it was funnier. I've heard ICP on the old loveline radio show and I think they are capable of being funny... but they chose to go the retarded/silly route. I really hope ICP is ashamed of this pile of crap.

What does Big Money Hustlas mean as a film...What does Big Money Hustlas mean to the public in large...What does BMH mean to the film industry...it isn't for the film...it isn't for the public at large...and it sure as hell isn't for the film industry. I started out writing about how this movie was for Juggalos. I was wrong. This movie is for anyone who has a pulse. I have shown this movie to many people who had no clue what the Wikkid Sh*t was all about. They still laugh. This is comedy in its truest form. You want to laugh??? Watch the movie. If you want to b*tch and moan, watch the movie. This flick has enough to please to casual movie critic (great story) and more than enough to please anybody that runs wit the hatchet (big IL' fake t*tty Kitty, Missy, and then some). Plus go and buy the soundtrack, that sh*t was d*mn near as funny as the movie.

Over-rated white hip hop outfit with cult following makes low budget film. Doesn't exactly sounds like a great achievement in modern cinema, does it? While it clearly fails at anything resembling conventional success, this movie does achieve a bizarre sort of diamond-in-the-rough eminence that you don't necessarily have to be a Faygo-loving Detroit native to appreciate. As someone who holds great disdain for the campy music and image of Insane Clown Posse, I obviously saw this movie with exceedingly low expectations. In the end, I came away seeing a movie with surprising cinematography, a plot that rises above the sheer inanity you're expecting, and far more than its fair share of both cheap and earned laughs. The plot basically amounts to ruthless drug lord versus smooth renegade cop, an obvious parody of the blaxploitation cliché. The execution is certainly quite a bit more ambitious than what you'd expect from a movie made by musicians, especially considering the band's only two members don't appear on screen together until the last quarter of the movie. Since both the villain and the protagonist both wear face paint during all scenes of the picture, you can expect a great deal of heavy-handed silliness. However, when the plot turns serious, you care about the characters without things becoming corny or over done. There are still obvious complaints, arising primarily from poor acting, which isn't surprising. On the other hand, the underlying quality of this film is surprising, and makes it worth a view when you're in the mood for a cult film that is strangely entertaining.

This movie is definitely a movie for the juggalo's, but it can be seen my anyone who has a sense of humor. Shags does a great job of impersonating the characters of the blaxplotation movies, and Violent J is just a great bad guy. Poot and Stank are the typical bumbling sidekicks that you love to love. This movie is just awesome for anytime watching and trust me, if you are a juggalo, this is a movie you be hitting the rewind button over and over again. Clown love, er'yone! Woo-Woo!
