American Pimp

Hilarious nonsense. Everyone in this is an idiot.

Delving into the shadowy subculture of illegal prostitution, the Hughes Brothers elicit shockingly candid discussion from the flamboyant gallery of rogues and miscreants they have assembled. The blaxploitation influence on the film making style is apt: these pimps are stars in their own minds, and the Hughes Brothers present their world authentically, without judgement. It lacks sociological complexity, but it's fascinating nonetheless.

These scumbags acting serious or being honest to the camera somehow loops around to comedy. One of those character studies where you're not sure if the subjects know how dumb or abnormal they are.

Fascinating. Killer.

Entertaining in an odd way.

Amusing.

Interesting. Although, I still question why pimps need to have so much bling.

Pretty rough around the edges, but the Hughes brother have an infectious passion for the cinema and manage to break our preconceptions of the pimp world by putting in the phenomena in the context of 1940s B-movies as well as 70s blaxploitation.

Great documentary. Actual pimps discuss their work and personal lives, how it's done, etc. Intensely interesting.

Pimp. It's a noun. It's a verb. It's a way of life.

Bling for nothing.
