Movie Info

Friday co-stars Ice Cube and Mike Epps reunite to portray two shady concert promoters who attempt to make a mint and stage the show of a lifetime. Against all odds, the fast-talking hustlers manage to talk a legitimate hip-hop superstar (Young Jeezy) into putting on a big show. But they've only got 24 hours to sell out a massive concert hall. As the two unscrupulous promoters scramble to make the show a success, a whole host of embittered rivals scheme to ensure that they fail in spectacular

It's a tailor-made role for Cube -- not surprising, considering he wrote the script -- and he plays it with his familiar mix of brash-talking bluster and brow-knitting frustration.

Humorless feature film that aspires toward a comedic pitch that should've never been placed in the hands of Ice Cube. Mike Epps, sure. But Cube is best bewildered, not fitted for clown shoes.

Everything builds to a fairly careless climax.

Ice Cube and Mike Epps' much-delayed fourth screen teaming has to be a landmark of some sorts in how a company's complete lack of concern for its own product could not be more brazenly apparent.

Audience Reviews for Janky Promoters

I think that Ice Cube really began writing a descent movie, but then just gave up about halfway through. He just declared - "to hell with it" and rushed an ending. The result was this movie I just saw. There were so many loose ends that were left hanging. What about Ice Cube's wedding? Who's gonna pay Jeezy? Didn't they just loose a truckload of money? Isn't the drug dealer still gonna kill him? What the hell? Don't waste your time people.

This movie was not that enjoyable. The plot was that well thought off and the script wasn't as well planned either. The movie seemed kind of short to me. Although, the movie was funny, I just thought it could've been better.
