SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

"The directors also tend to glorify, in a way, the sleekness of the pimps' style, which tend to make them dress in outrageous costumes that only them can wear in our society." Learn basic grammar before attempting to articulate your feeble ideas for others to read. The quoted sentence above is retarded and makes no sense. I smack my women everyday too for your information and I'm glad you approve. Maybe you should take an elementary level English class, try making a film, and hang yourself when you beat off, then try posting. At the very least the result would be more informative then your indecipherable bowl movement of a review. I'm not even particularly a fan of this film but that doesn't change the fact that you wasted 30 seconds of my life. While attempting to sound intelligent you come off more like a Roger Ebert gay love child with some kind of learning disability. Say hello to the manager at McDonald's for me tomorrow while you take a break from your pathetic life of eating TV Dinners alone watching Loony Toons and trying to talk about things that you obviously know nothing about. Like film for example.

American Pimp is a very entertaining and illustrative look inside the world of pimping - not the film and television propaganda that mainstream powers want you to see.Most people have no undrstanding what is happening on the other side of the transaction. What on the surface appears controlling and exploitative is often actually a mutually beneficial and supportive relationship between 'the Mack' and his girls.The real strength is the witty, clever, and humorously photographed and retold stories and real life events that constitute the pimp game.
Definitely worth a viewing.

i didnt know whether to laugh,or cry as i watched the sad "men" of "american pimp.none of the those clowns could tell me the time of day,much less control me,and take my money.It's a weak woman who makes a pimp successful,nothing more.Lucky for these loser men,there are plenty of weak woman out there.

I saw this last night and was surprised at how much I liked it. I have my own opinions about whether prostitution or pimping is wrong, but this documentary helped me understand why pimps pimp. Obviously there is something about pimping that keeps them in the game - money, sex, power etc. I never saw it from their perspective before. The interviewers did an amazing job of getting these guys to talk openly about what they do. I also enjoyed the colourful personalities some of the pimps have.
