July 21-27 Eddie Griffin Week: This motherfucker is funny!

Tired of Hollywood’s unrealistic urban films, Davon (director and writer Coke Daniels) brings in a pimp named Tony (Howie Bell) to represent him. He wants to make a movie, Hood Times, but all the rich Hollywood white people have no interest in what he wants to put his energy into.

Davon has a woman who loves him and supports him, but he hates his life. The decision to bring in a pimp to manage him, however, seems to be one not all that well thought out. At least there are some movies within the movie and appearances by Tiny Lister, Jr. and Eddie Griffin. Is Eddie the black Eric Roberts? With all the movies of his that I’ve been watching on Tubi, it seems that way.

You can watch this on Tubi.
