I wonder about people sometimes.. they want the documentary to tell them right from wrong. That's just stupid.

This film is a verite style documentary.. they just interview pimps and prostitutes. Now think for a moment.. do you think these people are going to talk badly about their lifestyle? They are proud of it and say so. There are no rebuttals.. except in your own head (SO USE IT).. You HAVE to think.. and it does make you think.. because most of these guys are such good communicators and persuasive (basic skills of a good pimp) and very entertaining. You may be put off what they do, but you get to see their world from their perspective. So your brain is the filter for how you interpret the film.. don't look to the filmmakers to tell you what is right and wrong.

This is a real documentary.. its not an after 1:00 AM cable porn documentary. There is no nudity, nothing but long sentences of 4 letter words. And in my opinion, as someone who makes documentaries, it's a great one, and one of my personal favorites.

Probably the funniest documentary ever. If you love one line idioms, this is your movie. Learn the pimp parlance and use it in your daily interactions, it will get you places in life. October 22, 2007

Your opinion of this movie should not be influnced by the people it represents
Pimps suck, thats true but this documentary does not
It is a lot of spittin game, which sometimes comes out looking like the pimps are being glorified. But this is what these pimps are like, this is how they con and make their money, its a 24/7 thing for them.
Are they always telling the truth? of course not, but the documentary is an accurate representation of what some pimps are like (albiet on a superficial level) and the philosophy they preach August 28, 2006

Regardless of your opinion on prostitution, pimps, streetwalkers, ho's, etc., this is a fantastic film. Incredibly insightful and very enlightening. It will truly open your eyes to a cultural phenonemon like no other. This film is a must see. Check your morality/superiority at the door, open your eyes and ears, and learn something.

There are a lot of pimp movies out there, but this is the one you need to see. August 13, 2006
