I thought this was a very funny movie indeed. It was cheesy and shouldn't be funny but it is. I know thew animation is poor, internet quality but look past it and enjoy the comedy.William Shatner does a great job voicing the mayor and Bernie Mac is a wicked pimp daddy.If the movie Terkel in Trouble can get a decent score (and its an abysmal movie that just happens to look better) then this deserves recognition for being funny.Watch this movie and know that it is not made by Pixar with a huge budget. Its not a border line kids/adult movie like shrek. Its an adult movie, with adult humour. I love the scene in the cab watch it and tell me it doesn't make you laugh.

The only reason I gave this film a 7 out of 10 is because a flat 6 seems too low but it does feel a bit below a 7 as well. Let me explain myself first.This movie started off very hilarious. This kid who always gets picked on finds himself trying to help women cross the streets and wound up escorting this whore to her club. I think the concept of a snot nose kid and his pet rat who's white but comes off as a ghetto raised thug and making these funny one-liners all the time was hilarious and makes the movie all worth watching.The voices were very good and done by a very nice cast. The voices fit the personalities quite well and makes the jokes even funnier, if Junior sounded like a regular kid do you think you would've found his jokes funny or feel an innocent vibe with him? Nope! Bernie Mac and Ludicrous were my favorite appearances though, even though the others were really good.The animation was admitting crappy but so what? You can't always judge a good film on its looks. I think it's about time someone stood up to the harsh media world and say "Hey, I can make a crappy looking film and make it hilarious!" Seriously, why would people even comment on how bad the movie is but only mention the animation. All that does is make you look stupid and push all your opinions aside for anyone who has enough common sense to know that comments like that aren't needed.The downfall was where the comedy started to fall flat. Many may think that Weathers was the only comedy in the movie but I beg to differ. At 1st he was hilarious and had me asking for more, until I realized he is really pretty aggravating and makes his one-liner comments in every other 3 to 5 sentences. The more Weather's mouth opened, the more his jokes actually seemed to fall. By the end of the movie not only did I stop laughing at his jokes but I started getting upset by them.Besides Weathers actually irritating me, the storyline should've ran on a gag instead of running on a story. Seriously, like I stated in this comment before, the regular concept of a shrimpy white boy experiencing the life of a pimp was funny enough but when I started to realize that there was a real storyline going on then I started to get disappointed because the jokes started failing to make me laugh, the characters were being pretty off, and the story itself was pretty stupid and fell away from what the film started off as.With all said and done I still think this movie is worth the watch and should definitely be rented if not bought.

The theme music was choice as.Bernie Mack was funny as as Fruitjuice. So was the voice of Lil Pimp.Cool cameo from Dolemite as Mr Slippers.I found it a entertaining change from Southpark and The Simpsons et al.But the style was obviously influenced by the two.As well as blaxpolitation pimp flicks such as "Superfly" and "The Mack".Pushed the envelope a bit content-wise, which is why it had a higher age rating.A lil short on running time but animation normally is.Bring on more adventures of Lil Pimp!

First and foremost keep the kids away from this movie.This is the story of Lil' Pimp, a grade schooler who saves not only pimpdom, but the city from the evil clutches of the mayor.Its the first, and one hopes the last, attempt to make a complete feature film using the Macromedia Flash Animation program. Normally its used for two or three minute clips where its fine but here, as a feature, it doesn't work. Its much too limited and ultimately becomes annoying even on a TV screen. I doubt would have worked on the big screen since its often little more than static pictures with one or two things in motion. The animation is so limited that it makes the cut outs of South Park look like the work of Leonardo Da Vinci. The animators simply don't give us enough to look at. Ultimately the style of animation dooms the film for any kind of success.Plot wise, first, second and third reports told of how this film was a complete and total disaster; of retakes, of complete rewrites, animators being sacked then cheaper help being brought in to save what many said was beyond saving. I'm happy to report that the film isn't as god awful as the stories made it out to be. The humor is as low as you can go. If you can accept a kid as a pimp and don't mind dirty jokes and situations then you'll at least like this film, assuming the animation style doesn't rot your brain (yes its that bad) Pretty much its no more than an okay film, and its nothing one would or should actually pay to see, but for free on TV with some drunk friends this could be an amusing time killer late on a Saturday night.
