how is his dad younger than him


how is his dad younger than him??

reply

That's...the...joke. It's a parody of Boyz In the Hood where Trey's dad is only 16 or 17 years older than him, and how in real life, Cuba and Laurence are only like 10 years apart.

reply

His dad isn't younger than him. He's only older by a few years.

reply

He was older then his dad in the movie

No he's not...just before he moves back in with him he said his dad was only a few years older than him.

reply

In the beginning he says his dad is only a few years older than him, but they have the part where he's going to a party and the dad says "Can I go?" and he says "Sorry, it's only 18 and over", so it is confusing, but it's all part of the joke, you guys. Don't over analyze it.

reply

Christ, yeah, it's not that important, it's absurdity. His dad is such a hilarious character, and the actor is incredibly funny with his facial expressions and timing.

Its definitely just making fun of Boyz in the Hood. In real life Cuba Gooding jr and Laurence Fishburne are only seven years apart lol. But hey Cuba Gooding can do amazing things. He looked like way older in Jerry Maguire, then he looked like he was 17 in Radio years later.

reply

Ashtray's dad is younger than him - watch the scene again. His dad was supposed to be 17 years old.

its just making fun of the fact that kids in the hoods get bitches pregnant mad you like 12 or 13. so much of this movie is unrealistic i dont see why you're all stuck on this

thats logical but thats not the point...read kimi03's post

It's a movie.... since when do movies have to make sense?

You guys are reading too much into this. As clearly already stated, it's a reference to Boyz In Da Hood and Cuba and Laurence's characters. Laurence was 30. Cuba was 22. This bothered some people when it first came out.
So this movie played on that, Lahmard is really only one year older than Shawn, and looks like he could be 5 years younger. I was surprised to find out he's an almost 40 year old man(as well as Larnez Tate's older brother) when he looked like he could've been 16 when he was in this movie.

it's a plot hole, plain and simple...

reply

thank you, it basically ruined the movie for me

reply

It’s not a plot hole when it’s intentional

reply

LOL it obliviously a joke, it part of the movie hilarious comedy.

Just like you cannot get pregnant 30 seconds after having sec lol

--All girl groups r worst than TLC. There will never be another. They were original, creative,etc--

reply

yes, i got the joke instantly. the first time i saw boyz in the hood i was thinkin the same thing

reply

Lawrence's character tries to teach morals and values. The dad in D.B.A.M is telling Ashtray to not use condoms, drive while drunk etc etc. lol it's like the most obvious parody in the film. So the age thing is blatantly taking the piss out of the age gap in Boyz.

I can't believe that needed explaining hehe.

Man, the OP is looking too much into it. That was the entire point of the joke! It's not a serious movie. Hell, it's not even a comedy that has a true storyline. It's a spoof movie!

On a long enough time line, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.
