I watched this over the course of this week. Excellent movie. I loved every minute of it. Great performances and great music.

And as for your mom (or anyone's mom...or dad etc.) Sit her down and have her watch it. Like I said earlier in the thread, my mother isn't into hip hop culture, pimps or the like, but we saw Hustle & Flow TWICE in one day because it was THAT good... and still to this day, she cites it as her favourite movie of 2005...

I just watched this last night, and I was also very impressed. While the ending was
Some of the dialog (like the BLT line) was a little goofy, but overall it didn't bother me much.

Finally saw this today.
Ordered this today on PPV and I'm on my 3rd viewing of it since it's on all day. Not a perfect film, but damn is it addicting!
I've praised T-Howard enough on this board so I might as well talk about the supporting cast. All the girls really are great and, like others, was surprised by Anthony's performance. As well as his character's wife played by Elise Neal. I'm just not used to seeing a married couple like that in a movie!
Even though I'm not a fan of today's rap, the simple crunk-like tunes heard in this flick are enjoyable to me. Wonder how this will be handeled at the Oscars! The DVD will soon be mine.

I finally watched this last night. Thanks Columbia House! And it was pretty much as great as I thought it would be. I had high expectations and it surpassed them. Much stronger than 8 Mile. One of things I liked is how they made the homemade studio but the movie didn't brag about how they did it. Great performances all around. I first saw Terence Howard in Crash and it's amazing how he pulled off 2 completely different roles perfectly.

It would be nice to see him win the Oscar for his performance in Hustle & Flow. He's a great actor and I feel he did an excellent job as DJ.
