The Slobbering Conclusion: Get Tryin or Die Rich

I haven't seen this movie, but I am going to review it anyway. I can safely say I obviously wasn't in the demographic targeted by the filmakers, as I am not the person who goes to movies and yells out "No You DI-INT!" as I am sure many of the people who see this movie have done. Fiffy Cent, minister of improper grammar, does a passable job playing a character a lot like himself. I don't know if that is praise or not, because just acting like yourself shouldn't require a lot of work, just you showing up, right? From what I have heard the movie basically has the same plot as 8-Mile, but the main character gets shot a few more times, does harder drugs, lives a little harder life, and wears more bulletproof clothing. He learns that some words sound alike, and by putting those words at the end of sentences over repetitive & catchy tunes, you can make money. Ironically, at the end of the film, the character is neither rich nor dead. I am giving the rating of a flute of finest champagne because like all white people, I am by nature initially scared of anyone darker than me.
