Hustle... no

I finally watched, after much anticipation, Hustle and Flow. I only wish I hadn't wasted so much time anticipating this flop. While Terrence Howard was wonderful, as always, and easy on the eyes - the rest of the movie was cliched, tacky and poorly acted. I have come to the conclusion that Taryn Manning ruins every film she is in. Directors, PLEASE STOP HIRING HER! The sad storyline was poorly written with lirrle or no heart. The scenes dragged on longer than was necessary. At one point a new guy comes in to work at the studio, no real introduction is made as to who he is (I suspect he is modeled after the writer) and he just fits right in with no explanation - but we end up having to sit through the making of what ends up feeling like 20 songs.

Trash, junk, poo. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. I am sorry it was made and so much effort was wasted promoting this pile. And I am suprised at the reviews after watching it.

Can we please get over the pimp thing, please?

20% (that 20% goes only to Terrence Howard who should have never agreed to be in the movie).

I really didn't like it. If you want to watch a good movie about music and poverty, watch The Harder They Come.
