See more 09/06/2008 DIS MOVIE IS DAT BOOM See more 08/02/2008 gota watch dis movie strait up gangsta old skool steez See more 06/28/2008 This road movie should be road kill. It has a terrible set of characters in a number of annoyingly stereotypical themes throughout the course of the movie, put together it doesn't really make a plot, but when the acting is this crass it would be hard to spot one anyway.
