Should you see it? Not unless you're a huge fan of the stars.
Having done stand-up, I'm a hard audience for a film about a stand-up comic, so I was willing to go the extra mile for this, but it's not worthwhile. Two brothers, stand-up Eddie Griffin and criminal Master P, chase after Amy Petersen while grandma Marla Gibbs tries to give them advice. Griffin does a stage routine a few times, with the audience laughing way too hard. He rejects a film offer because it requires him to play a drag queen and he has integrity. The one good idea is that the ghost of Redd Foxx shows up as his muse, but only in restrooms.
Agreed. This one is meh, at best, even if you are a fan of the stars.
