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 fashion.

Critic Reviews for Janky Promoters

All Critics (4) | Top Critics (2)

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.

Everything builds to a fairly careless climax.

Top Critic

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.

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.
