Just saw this today,
Was pleasantly surprised. People are probably turned-off knowing its a "black comedy". I'm white and still enjoyed the hell outta it.
Dont say "well u havent seen Inception" either cause i have twice.

NO this isnt some flawless superb artistic film. but its definitely a comedy that has realistic characters (for the most part). I actually felt that it was heartwarming to.
Wont give away the ending, but even Ice Cube at the end made me feel sympathetic and kinda touched by his and some other people's actions.

I would give this a 6/10 because it was better than average...and definitely was surprising that this was enjoyable from start to finish....BUT i had to rank it a 10/10 because way too many people gave it 1 Star for no aparent reason.
If i could i would rank it 10/10 about 500 times so that peopole werent misled by the rating on IMDb.
if u like ANY of the actors in this movie, i can assure you, they did their thing. Even T-Pain was great...Charlie Murphy was funny, Brandon T. Jackson in 1 of his better roles since Tropic Thunder...Ice Cube better than 1/2 his other movies...Terry Crews, well...being a hilarious Terry Crews and added Life to the movie...MIKE EPPS kind of made me understand why he was originally attatched to play RICHARD PRYOR in the upcomming biopic, you could REALLY REALLY REALLY hear Pryor in his tone (just with Mike Epps wearing a funny wig and acting like a preacher lol)...Keith David is even in a funny, bigger role here. The gangster which i forget his name is very good in this. Bow Wow showing me that he SHOULD act instead of rap.

IDK, i cant say this was perfect, but i almost used a free pass on this, but instead decided to save the pass and pay for a matinee...i can say i felt very satisfied.
Even with barely ANYONE in the audience..just 2 other tiny groups in a small theatre, and they REALLY REALLY REALLY liked it. laughed the whole time, and the end made them cheer so much (w/ Ice Cube) that i almost did myself.
Im not gonna hate this movie at all. def gonna defend this one, even with its flaws.

***stop rating a movie 1..2...3..or EVEN 10 stars WITHOUT SEEING IT FIRST. *beep* annoying)***

I agree with the original poster, people are obviously rating this movie without even seeing it. It's actually pretty good. There are funny parts, its touching, it has a message. I really enjoyed this movie.

But how do you know those folks haven't seen the film? Not everyone that went to see the film will like it.

Bravo OP!

I couldn't have written that review any better myself and I wholeheartedly agree!

Well im black and this movie was ish, sorry if you all booty hurt about the rating, i gave it a 2, i wont go any higher i wont rank it 1 because that's ridiculous, but i feel like it's not worth the travel, and money and time wasted for people to go to the movie theaters to see, if it had been in the $3.00 bin at walmart i would've probably bumped it up a few to maybe 4.0 but they lied to sell this film, "2010's Friday?" C'mon now! it' was nothing like Friday, it had Ice cube in, are we gonna start calling any comedy Ice cube plays in the next Friday Movie now? " Are We There Yet?", "First Sunday"... lol
yeeeah..
I don't care what color you are, it was simply garbage and i don't see why you had to put it in your title that "Your white". so that makes you stand out and get other whites to watch it? LMAO! wow..

The movie deserves to be exactly where it's at, i see some racist crap in here and that's real unnecessary and could've stayed off this site, im glad IMDB is cleaning it up, but man they have some racist people on here! WOW!

I think this movie is being rated though based on people not seeing on it. Plus a lot of people are starting threads like this movie is sparking a black/white issue. Why do people come on IMDB to use as an outlet for their racist rants?

[–] Extinctive 14 years ago

People have rated "Boxing Helena" a 4.0 on IMDb.
That should tell you how utterly worthless these ratings are.
Boxing Helena is one of the most impressive movies made in the 1990s, both artistically as well as musically and with regards to acting talent.

I completly agree with you. I just saw the movie and kinda liked it. It's been done before and it was predictable but c'mon, what were people expecting? Overall I give it a 6/10 maybe even a 6.5. I'm guessing some bow wow haters rated this movie with 1 star lol

[–] Screenwriter_Brandi 14 years ago

That's actually being generous. And if you liked it, why do you care so much about the ratings?

[–] moviebug91 14 years ago

A very harsh rating. I'm not sure what people were expecting but this movie was a good watch. Maybe people were expecting comedy, this movie hardly had me laughing. It was very well written though. The scene between the best friends on the roof had me on my seat.

Overall very well done but don't expect a laugh. There wasn't a scene that had me laughing.
