Livin' tha Life

This little independent video was one of the funniest rentals I have ever seen. It is very rare that comedy is used as cinema verity, but this project fits the genre perfectly. If you're bored with the on-slaught of "Ghetto Comedies", check this out. Filmed in an almost "reality-TV" setting, the viewer seems to be the third-eye in the character's mishaps. The scene with the little boy in the Korean market is a film gem. I accidentally saw that small clip before I saw the video and was quite surprised to see it in its entirety. There is dialogue in this movie that could potentially become standard slang phrases. I wonder what the director could've done with more money. He definitely needs another chance. It also reminds me of a modern day colorized Charlie Chaplin movie with a dash of Cheech and Chong and a little Richard Pryor on the side. If you're tired of the big screen flops like "Soul Plane", etc. this should give you hope that a better product in on the horizon.
