The Plot: Two decades ago, Louis (Samuel L. Jackson) and Floyd (Bernie Mac) went their separate ways when their band broke up. When their group’s former front man dies, the two feuding singers agree to put aside their 
differences for a tribute concert at the Apollo. The show promises to be a big hit … if Louis and Floyd don’t kill each other’s ass on the trip there. Jennifer Coolidge and Sean Hayes co-star in director Malcolm D. Lee‘s sporadically funny road comedy.
The music is excellent if you are down with soul, and R&B. I personally love the shit so it got my head bobbin in a lot of scenes throughout the movie. At first I 
didn’t think that Bernie and Samuel had the chops to pull it off convincingly, but as the movie progressed, so did there singing.
The cinematography was your standard for a comedy like this. Nothing special, but since it did have a good budget, at least the quality was good.
The acting was decent. Bernie and Samuel had some pretty good chemistry together. They worked off each other well. Some of there arguing scenes were 
suppose to be funny but came off as just two older gentlemen yelling at one another…not very funny.
The effects were non-existent. This is a comedy and there was really no need for any type of effects during it, unless you consider a scene were Bernie is getting worked over in bed by an older chick with huge implants.
Overall this was an OK movie. There’s a lot of slap stick physical comedy used which might give you a chuckle, but it’s not hilarious. Most of the really funny parts are scattered throughout the film, so don’t expect an all out laugh riot. I can really see the older crowd enjoying this movie, and getting a kick out of it more then a younger audience would.
