Janky Promoters

Janky Promoters is another film starring Ice Cube and Mike Epps. Many Ice Cube and Mike Epps fans were probably looking forward this, but it is not as good as their previous meetings (Friday series, All about the Benjamins). The premise is certainly workable for Cube's return to R-rated comedy: Cube and Epps are the promoters of the title, and they prove their monumental jankiness in their attempts to put on a Young Jeezy concert in sleepy Modesto, California. Given that Cube and Epps more than likely have had their fair share of experience with real-life janky promoters, one would think that Cube's script would have some clever and biting jokes about the many such nonprofessionals who infest the business, but the sole inspired moment is in a fairly throwaway visit with Cube's not-so-upstanding mother. There were many unneeded scenes and subplots. The rest of time is fairly one-note in its obvious, rather dully executed, and unfunny comic directions: Cube and Epps cut costs by putting up Jeezy (who appears as himself) and his entourage in a cheap motel (which, predictably, employs some ghetto groupies on the make in the housekeeping staff); Cube tries to push his wannabe rapper son (Little JJ) to Jeezy; etc. Cube and Epps still have chemistry, but both seem on autopilot here, as does director Marcus Raboy, who just slogs through the motions with little energy or visual creativity. Their are some pretty good moments, like the ending. Most of the good scenes either involved the relationship dialogue with Cube and Epps, and the scenes with Jeezy. Altogether, Janky Promoters is a forgettable comedy. http://www.moviewatch.in/external.php?title=Janky+Promoters &url=aHR0cDovL21pbGxlZH JpdmUuY29tL3ZpZGVvcy9kTUtZcnNBQSA=&___domain=bWlsbGVkcml2ZS5jb20= &loggedin=0

Racial stereotypes and the accoutrements of hip-hop culture come in for some gentle ribbing in "Janky Promoters," a fairly innocuous though still relatively entertaining comedy written by and starring Ice Cube.

It's a tale of two second-rate music promoters (Ice Cube and Mike Epps) trying to stage a rap concert in Modesto, California, and the many personal and financial hurdles they have to jump over to pull it off. It's not a slashing satire by any stretch of the imagination, but a game cast (including an entertaining Young Jeezy who brings a great deal of charm to his portrayal of himself) and a few genuinely funny moments make up for its overall blandness.

Not that bad , its actually ok . Not the worst movie in the world . Watch it . And really 10 million was this movies budget ? The must of not promoted it that well for it to make 10000 lol.

I recently watched Janky Promoters (2009) on Tubi. The storyline follows two unsuccessful, shady promoters heavily in debt. When they get the chance to promote an up-and-coming rapper, they see it as their shot at redemption. Can they finally get it right, or will they mess up this opportunity too?

Directed by Marcus Raboy (Friday after Next), the film stars Ice Cube (Friday), Mike Epps (Friday after Next), Lahmard J. Tate (Barbershop), Jeezy (Hustlers), Aloma Wright (Mrs. Deeds), and Glenn Plummer (Strange Days).

Janky Promoters is a well-written comedy (penned by Ice Cube) featuring an impressive cast and soundtrack. The comedic content aligns perfectly with the spirit of the "Friday" series. Cube and Epps have fantastic chemistry, supported by standout performances from Tate and the legendary Pamela Grier (Coffy). Moments like the "did you get that on tape" sequence, the rental car scene, and the Pam Grier interrogation are comedic highlights.

In conclusion, Janky Promoters is a worthwhile addition to the comedy genre that's definitely worth your time. I'd give it a score of 6.5/10 and recommend seeing it at least once.

I totally loved this movie.. Ice Cube , Mike Epps, and Young Jeezy just flat out made me laugh all the way thru,, our story goes that there are 2 buddies who bill themselves as amateur music promoters, and well they actually get their shot at it to promote a Young Jeezy concert.. things start to fall apart.. 1000 dollars is needed to get the ball rolling and our characters are about flat broke,, they try all kind of schemes to get the money,, stealing from their girlfriends.. anything at all that they can do to get the money,, a lot of their plans misfire and they are on the verge of not being able to promote Mr Jeezy, you will have to watch and see if the boys can get their act together and make everything okay in the rap music world... ton of laughs..well worth the price of admission.
