 Good movie to watch! July 2, 2009
Shalese Ford (MA, USA)
This is one of my all time favorite movies to watch! It has some action, some drama, and a whole lot of comedy in it. This movie has many funny and talented actors in it and they make this movie what it is!

THE PARTICULAR MOVIE IS MY 2ND CHOICE OF FILMS, BECAUSE THE WAY ACTORS PLAYED THE DISTINCT CHARACTERS RIGHT. ANY ONE PERSON CAN SAY THIS WAS A BAD MOVIE BUT YOU WILL HAVE FEW TELL YOU DIFFERNT. IF A PERSON HAD TO BE PICKED FOR AN OSCAR IT WOULD HAVE TO BE ALL OF THE ACTOR AND ACTRESS.

When this movie first came out I thought it was a good flick but when I recently watched it again I wonder why. First-time director Ice Cube makes some pretty bad decisions in this movie, mainly in that his movie is dreadfully dull. You may wonder how a low-rent black version of "Showgirls" could be dull, but then you've yet to see "The Players Club." Personally this movie could have been made over twenty years ago starring Pam Grier. It's like that. Apparently, it's perfectly OK to perpetuate and even celebrate cuttingly negative stereotypes, but only if you belong to the minority you're exploiting.
In here we have Good girl Diana, played by Lisa Raye, who just wants to make enough money to finish college and do right by her baby. So she starts stripping at some sleazy dive. Much to her surprise, not everyone who works (or hangs out) at a strip club is very nice. The slimy owner of the club is played by Bernie Mac, whose back then performance is notable solely and not that funny because during that time Bernie's been great in small roles in his previous films. (Think of him in Friday or as Uncle Vester in House Party 3.) Bernie gets a subplot all to himself! He's a cheap and corrupt individual, so the local mob boss wants him dead.
For some reason, 2 Live Crew shows up at one point, acting like a band that's had a hit record in the past ten years. They must have stopped by to pick up a cup of ice and was invited to be in the movie. To be even a little fair, Jamie Foxx is pretty likeable as the club's DJ, and he gets to work some stand-up type material into his scenes.
The Players Club is a slow-moving and completely unoriginal movie. While some entertainment value could still be gained from a movie like that, no such luck here. You'll know every single plot point before it arrives, and when it gets there it's delivered in a bored fashion.
AWESOME MOVIE... December 22, 2005
