I saw this a couple of weeks ago. It was ok.....the movie goes in many different directions, none of which are all that great. It's ok for a matinee.
Anthony Mackie & Q Tip have a conversation about " He Hate Me " ( Rod Smart ), how he was in the XFL , etc. ,.......they end up calling his ex-girlfriend, " She Hate Me ".

okay, I just saw this film yesterday, and I have to say I found this film to be unfairly eviserated by the critics. I was pleasantly surprised that I am in complete disagreement over the slamming of this film.
For one thing, the story isn't all over the place as many have pointed out, the progression and events of the characters seemed completely in tune with the story.
One could easily state Spike Lee always gets on his soapbox and has to slam everything and everyone, here though, it's interesting tale on greed, race, sex & money, all rolled up into a very entertaining film. The stereotypical cliched characters only heighten a simple premise and add a potent bite of social commentary brought out by Lee's filmatic styles, storytelling and pannache.
I also have to say I loved the casting of the film, from the central characters to the lesser characters:
Sarita Choudhury (Mississippi Masala)
David Bennent (The Tin Drum/Legend)
Jamel Debbouze (Amelie)
