Foolish Movie Review 1999

Foolish? You bet it is. Eddie Griffin stars as the title character, a struggling comic who rips off old Eddie Murphy routines to a hip-hop beat. He butts heads with his brother Fifty Dollah, played by rapper/sports agent/bad actor Master P, who also wrote and executive produced this clunker. The boom mike falls into the picture so often that you expect Master P to grab it and bust a rhyme at any given moment. Strictly for sucka MCs.
