He and his friends roam around their small hometown affecting the same kind of hip-hop stylings they see on MTV, often hilariously. Flip and his friends ultimately take a trip to the big city, where they get a taste of what inner-city life is really like. A thoughtful look at the appeal of Urban music and style. Hoch's character Flip was originally presented as part of a one-man show off-Broadway. [More]

...a woefully unfunny rap-oriented satire that’s about as amusing as a carjacking...[a] tired and baseless culture comedy

Many of the characters are neglected, even though most are not of much importance, but that's because Hoch and company don't take any time to add the correct amount of realism to it.

Many scenes of confrontation play like heavy-handed, uncomfortably forced improv.

A one-joke film in desperate denial and a terrible vehicle for Hoch.

The fish-out-of-water scenario is frequently hilarious, and the linguistic prowess of the actors is impressive.

Danny Hoch gives a shrewd performance as a rapping misfit.
