Many scenes of confrontation play like heavy-handed, uncomfortably forced improv.

...a woefully unfunny rap-oriented satire that’s about as amusing as a carjacking...[a] tired and baseless culture comedy

A one-joke film in desperate denial and a terrible vehicle for Hoch.

The fish-out-of-water scenario is frequently hilarious, and the linguistic prowess of the actors is impressive.

Danny Hoch gives a shrewd performance as a rapping misfit.

Many of the characters are neglected, even though most are not of much importance, but that's because Hoch and company don't take any time to add the correct amount of realism to it.
