A strange combination of urban melodrama and comedy concert film.

Variety
Rating: 0/4 --
Simpleminded melodrama about two brothers' conflicting struggles to better their lives. Oops, not only did I describe the story, I just gave the entire story away. Sorry.

...Its heart is often in the right place and Mr. Griffin shows some real acting ability...
New York Times
The miserable production values-the cardboard sets rival a Little Rascals talent show-and P's stone-faced delivery are merely amateurish, but as a vanity project for Griffin, Foolish is downright appalling.
AV Club
Rating: 2/5 --
The film loses complete credibility when the audiences at the comedy clubs where Foolish works go wild with delight, way out of proportion to the hilarity of the material. And Foolish is just a little too smug about his artistic integrity.

Griffin's few sparks onstage are not worth the wait.

Rating: 1.5/4 --
Eddie Griffin buffs have the best reason to check out this amateurish effort: Griffin's profane, sometimes sharply observed stand-up routines take up a big chunk of the movie's total running time.

Balancing comedy with drama is tough for the best writers and even tougher for newcomers.

Product Description:
Eddie Griffin is Miles "Foolish" Waise, a fast rising nightclub comedian. His life is made difficult by his manager, who wants him to sell out for big bucks, and his brother Quentin "Fifty Dollah" Waise (Master P), a scheming hood whose dream is to start a comedy club with Foolish. Things are further complicated, however, by their dealings with drug lord El Dorado (Dice Clay).
