zBoneman on Rotten Tomatoes

Filmmakers Allen and Albert Hughes (Menace II Society, Dead Presidents) return with this outrageously entertaining documentary about Pimps in America. Rather than display the same point of view as the media, The Hughes Brothers show pimping as a lucrative business rather than portraying them as immoral monsters who exploit women, steal their money and ruin their lives. However, this is not to say that they're saints, they are just flamboyant. Allen and Albert have put together a film that flows briskly and is consistent. Certainly, it's one of the most stylish documentaries that I've ever seen. Pimping isn't a noble calling by any means, but it's fun watching these smooth talkers make a living in the world's second oldest profession.
