Reviews
Ryan Cracknell wrote in Apollo Movie Guide, the comedy is only funny the first half hour - then you would repeat the jokes too often. The pathetic way in which Danny high play its role and similarly pathetic dialogues would still make you laugh. There are numerous cameo appearances of well-known rappers.
