Critic Reviews for Who's the Man?

All Critics (8) | Top Critics (2)

Billing itself as the first hip-hop whodunit, Who's the Man? can be best appreciated by hardcore rap fans, who can chuckle at the sight of their idols in Harlem version of Around the World in Eighty Days.

I don't want to give this film a bad 'rap'...but it really does suck
