Although you can tell this was a budget film and some acting was a little put on, the overall message I took from the film is to know who you are and what you are capable of accomplishing. There are a lot of good points and statements made about the black community in the fact that we need to unite more and be proud of our heritage or what's happening to our children will continue to happen and we will never be as great as we can be as a people. People from different countries come here and flourish but here we are, blinded to the truth, under a spell that things wont get better. I like when movies try to bring light to the black community, more of them are needed. Sometimes we our so quick to judge black productions and not willing to support and help improve. We must support our people and stop being conditioned to everything Hollywood.

One of the worst "films" I have ever had the unfortunate displeasure of viewing. The acting was awful, the story was incredulous, and I'm glad that I watched it as a free rental.I'll not go into detail, because this movie doesn't deserve it, but what was the writer THINKING when he created it? How could the entire staff go through with this without someone saying, "Hey. . .you know, this movie really sucks." Why, WHY were they called the stick up kids when not one of them is under 30? Why do they have Lexuses, Benzes, and other luxuries but they can't help their own team member with a debt problem? . . .and, probably one of the biggest flaws with this movie, WHO WOULDN'T SHOP AT A STORE THAT HAD ALL THE ITEMS OFF AT 75%?!!! Thank you The Stick Up Kids for supplying us with two-hours of bad acting, bad music, bad storytelling, but hilarity beyond anything we've seen in years! So. . .for that I will say that The Stick Up Kids is the greatest comedy of 2011!

In reading the reviews, I did not see anyone comment on this movie's most important aspect...heritage/pedigree. The Muurs, Moors, however you wish to spell our name and who we really are...are coming to light. This information is extremely hard for most of us to awaken and realize they are talking about us. When you look at the titles that we have been called all these years (black, Negro, African-American - those not recognized as "People"); and when you realize why most of us don't own any land...you will see that it is because we do not know who we are and how to stake our claim. We MUST dedicate a little time to the references made in most movies, as they're always trying to tell you something. However, this movie drops info like a B52 at war. It's saying a lot about YOU, but most can't hear because they don't know how to listen. Please view this movie more, then search the internet for more information about your heritage...but most importantly, ask your own great-grandparents...or grand parents.

This is a pretty good crime drama! Between the slumlords, robberies and seduction, let's just say this film is full of surprises. I was impressed with the quality of the film and the overall cast as well. There are some fairly known actors in the film including Bryce Wilson, Mel Jackson, and Hawthorne James! I was unfamiliar Tariq Alexander but he fit his role of "smooth talking Harlem cat" perfectly. I'd prefer if the film was a little bit shorter but otherwise you should definitely check this out. The end is predictable but they definitely mix it up with some unexpected twists! No spoiler alerts here tho! Watch the movie!
