Bernie-Mac Movie Reviews

This video was made during the time that Dre & Ed were on MTV raps. Later they became DJs at Hot97 in New York. They were the funniest thing on the air at the time. This movie is an updated version of Abbott and Costello 90's style. It was more or less geared toward the teenage/young adult crowd.

For anyone to critique this for the acting, you would have to be kidding. It's a first time comedy production for the duo! Like Arnold Schwartzanegger or Sylvester Stallone are great actors --- PLULEEZE! GET OVER IT!

All in all if you like a silly movie that will make you laugh, this is a good one. If you do not want to buy it, check it out on TNT, Ted Turner will problably run it again during Black History Month (You know how that goes).

This movie is so funny, i was literally hurting from laughing so much the first time i saw it. my personal favorite part is when the House of Pain shows up in the movie playing poker with Colin Quinn. I honestly think they should've gotten a bigger part in the movie. Denis Leary is outrageously hilarious. Every scene he is in is a guaranteed laugh riot. but then again, when is Denis Leary NOT funny?

This is a great movie especially if you were a young adult during the early 90's. Dr. Dre and Ed Lover are a great pair, very funny. Dennis Leary is hysterical. So many quotable quotes! The parade of rap stars actually enhances the movie. It's not a serious movie, more like really long funny skit.

Let me first say that I love and admire the work of Spike Lee.He is one the few directors that have the courage to say whats on his mind and could care less who does or who does'nt like it.However this film is an insult to any Blackman that attended the Million Man March and the premise was awful.Why write a film about a great event and never capture the essence of that event.? Over one million Blackmen came to the March and the feeling of love , peace, brotherhood was as easy to feel as taking a deep breath. There are some "dummies" that feel as though the March did nothing , well I know for a fact that there have been several business alliances that were created from meeting brothers at the March. And there was not ONE incident of violence during that wonderful day unlike this film that seems to center around conflict and confusion. And there have been other "million" style marches since then. Another question I had with this film is why write a film about a bunch of guys that NEVER MAKE IT TO THE MARCH...???? One million plus other guys got there so where is their story..??? Black people need to embrace any and all positive moments ( Like the Million Man March) here in America..There are enough negative things to worry about, so let our "achievements" remain "achievements"

Once again, Spike Lee hits us again with the polemics. Overall, the story is not bad. The basic idea of a bus ride to the MMM is a good one. SOME of the characters are nicely drawn, such as Charles Roc Dutton's bus driver, Ossie Davis as the patriarch, and the caring father of the wayward son. But the film is weighed down by Spike Lee's usual soapbox dialogue and polemics. Sadly, few of the characters in this film actually talk, they make speeches (as is the case with "The Red Menace" and "Putney Swope)." Like I said, the story itself is good and the above-mentioned characters are nicely drawn. But the dialogue? Go to the soapbox on 125th St. in Harlem as the Black nationalist pontificators pound the podium and you get the idea.

The stereotypical treatment of non-Black characters in the film (the Jewish bus driver, the White cops) undermines its credibility.

Spike provides us with a valuable look at the varied perspectives and values of Black men today. The film is always interesting and engaging although there is a lot of speechmaking and little resolution of any of the subjects it deals with (for us or the characters in the film).

This film is well worth watching but it could have been a whole lot better.

Oh my God!!! Do not waste your time watching this awful movie with which has an even more awful cast...I think that one star is really pushing it as the film was so bad that I switched it off less than half way through. I am a great boxing fan and would normally love to watch any movie, BUT, I draw the line when the movie is so bad that you actually wish that you hadn't wasted your time watching it and would rather go to the denstist and have all your teeth removed with the use of acid (and that is without painkillers)... An awful movie that is not even worth a star - I just wish that it could be given a minus number it is honestly that bad!!!

it's been a long time, since i've bothered to write a review, seems these days, movies are all so, normal, nothing unique about them, it's sad really, this film, is unique, I relate this film to scarface, as well as blowing me away, ving rhames, makes you believe he is the great don himself, he took on the mob, and he lived, and he killed a man, and beat it, then he killed another, and he got misdeamanor, the man is a icon, one of the greatest showboats, to have ever lived, he's also very intelligent, and it's true, he shouldn't have got such a bad rep, but baby, that sells, violence, sex, crime, it all sells,the media, you know, this film is a 100 stars, if you don't see this, then I pity you, if you say this movie is ..., like reviewer number one, then your an ..., this film is brilliant, a masterpiece, this film is also almost out of print, obviously, like divinci, a true artist, isn't respected till he is gone, wan't a real world example? look at tupac shakur, when don is gone, no one will ever be like him again, so relish, his kinglyness, and buy this video, before it is, to late.

I have never seen a movie where the main character was portrayed with this kind of realism. I thought it actually WAS Don King the first time I saw this movie. Ving Rhames should have won Oscars, Emmys, and every kind of conceivable award for his portrayal of Don King. I mean he even has the voice inflections and mannerisms of Don King down to such a science it is unreal. I have never seen an actor portray anyone that well. I wish I could give this movie 10 stars. Ving Rhames IS Don King, from beginning to end. The man should have won an Oscar and an Emmy. I can't emphasize ENOUGH how well Ving Rhames plays Don King. I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this movie.

THIS TIME, KID GETS ENGAGED, AND HE THROWS A BACHELOR PARTY AT HIS HOUSE. MY QUESTION IS WHO CARES? KID N PLAY HAD GOTTEN PLAYED OUT AS RAPPERS BY THE TIME THIS MOVIE CAME OUT. THE ONLY FUNNY MOMENTS COME FROM BERNIE MAC AND REYNALDO REY. I WAS GONNA GIVE THIS ONE JUST 1 STAR, BUT AFTER SEEING HOUSE PARTY 4, I DECIDED TO CHANGE IT TO 2 STARS. BUT STILL, AVOID THIS TRASHY SEQUEL.

I first said that this movie was better than House Party 2, but boy, was I wrong. The only saving grace to this movie was Bernie Mac. Immature had some okay moments in here too, but the whole House Party movie theme was becoming stale by the time 1994 rolled around. And the jokes were just awful.

[...] i saw the good in the series when I saw house party 3. there are cool groups like immature, kid n play, TLC, R.a.s posse. This is a movie to top all movies, I mean with actors like Bernie Mac, Chris Tucker. This movie all fits together after immature [mixing] up orders and telling everybody that the bachelor party is their house. the characters are good too. Kid n play, plays fiancee vita, marques, romeo, Ldb, sex as a weapon, and many others. The only problem this movie has is IT LACKS [...]!!!!! Other than that, the movie is good. catch this movie on starz next time it comes on, word out.

......My girlfriend took me to see this when it first came out. Yeah I was excited because the previews for Full Throttle definately displayed the fact that there was going to be plenty of scantily clad, beautiful women. However, the actual movie goes to show that the creators of the film clearly believe that men are just pathetic, sex-crazed puppy dogs who will pay ten buck to watch a couple hours of cleavage and flat stomachs dance around while over-used 80's pop plays in the backround. Where the hell was the plot? Don't think that guys will be entertained just because there is a cute girl in every scene. Please, Drew, don't ever insult my intelligence like that again. Believe it or not, we do have class.

Along with Lara Croft: Tombraider 2, this is the worst sequel I've ever seen. Luckily I bought the DVD used or I would really be upset. As a chick I am all for chicks kicking men's butts in films, but Full Throttle was insulting to women, blacks and anyone with sense.

I would love to explain the plot, but it was so overshadowed it didn't seem to matter. The action sequences were lame, boring and predictable. They did the same flips, turns and giggles they did in the first film. The only difference was that that film had a decent plot and was entertaining. Full Throttle is a full disappointment to the T. It was obvious that the directors and writers ran out of anything original. They relied on half-naked women, a desperate Demi Moore and an ignorant black character played by Bernie Mac who wasn't shown but a few times in the film.

Unless you're a teenage boy with raging hormones, don't waste your time with this. Fans of the first one will be terribly dissapointed in this mess of a sequel. The filmmakers should have quit while they were ahead. I just hope there is not going to be another one. Full Throttle sort of bombed at the box office ( proving that you need more than trashy-dressed women to make a bad movie work ). Hopefully the bombing will keep them from making a third sequel. We can only pray! This film is just plain insulting to women and was obviously made for a cheap buck. I feel sorry for all the actors because they deserved a better film follow-up to the 2000 hit. I mostly feel sorry for Demi Moore. This horrid film was supposed to be her comeback role. Well, she didn't quite make it.

As with many films of this genre, the viewer is forced to dispense with some sense of reality to really get into the film... this movie ups the ante by having the angels perform stunts that defy the laws of physics and common sense. The sequences are so clever and well choreographed, however, you just find yourself with a smile on your face as your jaw drops just a little - followed by a chuckle as you realize how impossible such a scenario would be.

If the angels were pitched against James Bond, 007 would be beaten - badly. These girls kick butt. The film has a lot to offer - men see sexy women wearing revealing clothes, while driving incredible cars and using secret agent gadgets. Women see three best friends who are strong, powerful, multi-talented and intelligent.

There is no end to the amount of talent these girls possess. They can ride or drive just about any vehicle ever created, they are fluent in many languages, they are more limber than most house cats, they are fearless and they work great under pressure.

Bernie Mac is a welcome addition to the team. He can be funny just by breathing - and he has a few scenes where he is able to showcase his talent.

The hype over Demi Moore's appearance in the film isn't very over-rated. She must do Pilates 2 hours a day, every day of her life... she really looks like she was chiseled out of marble. There has been some criticism about her acting, which I think is unfounded. The whole story is very tongue-in-cheek... at no time are you really worried that someone is going to die and at no time is the viewer overly moved by even the tender scenes. Demi Moore's character wasn't fully developed enough for her to really build on. You learn that she is a loner and a troubled soul, but you are never told what exactly made her that way.

The strength of this movie is in the non-stop action and the humor and friendship of the 3 angels. The rest of the movie is just fluff. It is obvious that Lucy, Drew and Cameron really are close friends - there is no way to fake that type of rapport. Theater goers should stay through the entire credits to the end to see out-takes and funny moments experienced by the actors.

After the action is over and the lights come on, you begin to realize what a stupid premise the entire film revolves around. The situation that begins at the beginning of the film and is (of course) resolved in the end, is just ridiculous - but does anyone go to see a Charlie's Angels movie expecting great intellectual stimulation?

Fast cars, explosions, motorcycles, acrobatics and major butt-kicking abound in this film - the opening action scene is like no other action scene anyone has ever seen - perposterous, but inventive enought to make you think, "wow!"

In our troubled world, we all need a little escape once in a while and despite the violence (gun play, butt kicking, etc.), a viewer really can escape while watching this film. It's highly enjoyable, but probably not a film most would want to see over and over again.

I can't believe that John Ritter, Bernie Mac, and that dwarf Tony whatshisname were in this movie and it is still so devoid of humor. Bernie spends 50% of his screen time doing nothing but eating oranges. The line that got the most laughs was a straight rip-off of Howard Stern. Bennifer created a pretty laughable film with his Reindeer Games, and this is yet another holiday stinker. It's really too bad that the poster and title both have santa in them because this means way too many children are going to see this. It is NOT a movie for kids unless you are looking for teachable moments on alcoholism, sodomy, and the 99,000 different usages of the "f" word. I feel very sorry that this was John's last movie. Poor guy.

I went to see this movie with a friend. We were both very disgusted by it. Granted, I know that it is almost impossible to see a movie these days in which the actors do not use obscenities. However, this movie shows zero creativity and one hundred percent vulgarity. In particular, I was very offended by the overuse of profanity, especially that aimed at the Christian faith. If I had known that the writers of this movie were anti-Christian, I would not have gone to see it. I'm glad that we didn't have to pay to see it and that none of our students went to see it; our university gave us free tickets.

Not since "There's something about Mary" have I laughed so hard in a movie theater! I got into one of the preview screenings of this last week in LA and I have to say 90% of the audience was laughing just as loud as me. Let the prudes stay home - this is a film for anyone who wants to laugh till it hurts!
