Plot: Rap music star and No Limit Records boss Master P, after a series of successful straight-to-video features and one theatrical release, I Got The Hook-Up, made a bid for wider big-screen success with Foolish, which teamed him with comedian Eddie Griffin. Fifty Dollah Waise (Master P) is involved in a crime ring that earns him good money but worries his grandmother (Marla Gibbs), who dotes on him and encourages him to follow a more righteous path. Fifty Dollah's brother Foolish (Eddie Griffin) is an aspiring comedian, but his inability to get his career going convinces his older sibling he's wasting his talents. While Fifty Dollah tries to get his own life in order and give Foolish the push he needs, he also has to deal with a sudden conflict with criminal leader Eldorado Ron (Andrew Dice Clay) and a painful romantic triangle when he and Foolish fall for the same woman (Amy Petersen). In addition to music from Master P and a host of other No Limit artists, Foolish features an original score by former Prince associates Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman. Master P also wrote the film's screenplay. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Good try No Limit,

Foolish is a decent flick from No Limit Films. Eddie Griffin does what he can with the script, but it almost takes away from his acting chops. This film should have just been a stand up comedy film, because that's all it really is

I was foolish for renting this film. I like Eddie Griffin, he is talented, and funny so I was kind of hoping it would be kind of decent. Huge mistake!!! This is NOT a must see movie. The only thing you can do is leave this film on the shelves.
Master P really needs to give up the acting dream. Either give it up or take some lessons!!! He is a dull and unemotional as an actor. It's painful to watch. The movie is about two brothers overcoming their differences and eventually coming together for a common goal. Master P wants Foolish to do comedy at his club he is opening.

Andrew Dice Clay has a forgettable cameo appearance in the movie. The talented supporting cast really wasted their acting chops in this film (Marla Gibbs as their grandmother, Bill Nunn, Jr. Bill Duke and Clifton Powell). This movie has a weak story line. I have a sense of humor, but I need for my movies to entertain me in all aspects and this movie does not do that. This movie tried to do too much. It tired to funny, dramatic and it did not work. It was like trying to mix and oil and water in this film.

Save yourself the trouble and rent or purchase Dysfunktional Family. A lot of the jokes Eddie G does in this film he will do in Dysfunktional Family. In fact even My Babies Daddy (Eddie G stars in that as well) is better then Foolish, and even that movie was not all that great, but I laughed while watching that, and hardly even chuckled while watching Foolish. After you sit through this movie all you will do is hold your head saying ugggghhhhhh!! I've seen it, and I will never watch this movie again. I won't be foolish twice.

Rent these movies with Eddie Griffin instead:
1. My Babies Daddy
2. Dysfunktional Family
3. Undercover Brother
