Movie Reviews of Who's the Man

Movie Review: If you want a laugh
Summary: 4 Stars

I won't claim to know all of the rappers that are contained in the movie but it is a good laugh much as "Car 54 where are you?" with Rosi O is. Plus, Dennis Leary is great and "Duff" from MTV (VJ around 1990-91) also makes a cameo.....very cute! I would recommend this movie for anyone that was a young adult around 1993 or to someone who wants a good laugh.

Movie Review: Not an Oscar contender
Summary: 4 Stars

Though it was never an Oscar contender, it was funny as h***!!!

Movie Review: Fun movie to watch!
Summary: 3 Stars

I guess this was one of the earliest examples of a hip-hop movie with a load of hip-hop artist cameos. What really completes the movie is the performance by Dennis Leary. He is SOO funny as a police sargeant who has to deal with the 2 main characters, played by Ed Lover and Dr. Dre. The movie is somewhat dated but it's a fun experience to watch, as the two newest members of the NYPD bumble their way through a crime investigation they only seem privy to. It all works out in the end, and the day is saved. This was also a strong influnce on movies such as the Barbershop movies and the Friday series.

Movie Review: "Who's The Man?" Review
Summary: 3 Stars

Cashing in on their popularity at the time as hosts of "Yo! MTV Raps", Doctor Dre and Ed Lover play two mediocre Harlem barbers who decide to become police officers. When their best friend is murdered by a crooked land developer, they make it their point to find out what's really behind all the problems in the neighborhood. "Who's The Man?" will never be regarded as a cinematic masterpiece but it does get the most out of its two stars as well as the countless performers who make cameos (most of them are late 80's rap icons). Denis Leary, in particular, steals the show as a short-tempered superior officer whose profanity-laced tirades make for some first-rate entertainment. While this movie borrows quite a bit from other films (most noticeably "Beverly Hills Cop"), it never tries to take itself too seriously. The chemistry between Dre and Lover is solid and the wild over-the-top characters make for some amusing moments. If nothing else, it's worthy of "cult" status.

Movie Review: A Classic!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great movie especially if you were a young adult during the early 90's. Dr. Dre and Ed Lover are a great pair, very funny. Dennis Leary is hysterical. So many quotable quotes! The parade of rap stars actually enhances the movie. It's not a serious movie, more like really long funny skit.
