Dray (Bill Bellamy) has a problem: He has a girlfriend, Lisa (Lark Voorhies), but can't seem to say no to any beautiful woman who walks his way. When he's not with Lisa or hanging out with his buddies, David (Pierre), Kilo (Jermaine "Big Hug" Hopkins) and Spootie (A.J. Johnson), he's out with one of his many lady friends. Dray's sister (Natalie Desselle) is both disgusted and fascinated by his behavior, so she organizes a party for him -- and invites all his ladies -- to teach him a lesson.

Richard Williams Guardian The rap-heavy soundtrack is the real point. But at least it has jokes. Aug 6, 2024 Full Review Sheila Johnston Daily Telegraph (UK) The sexual politics of this shrill, dim-witted yarn would have looked passé in the blaxploitation films of the early 1970s.

Stephen C Funny and successful in 1 hour and 33 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/30/25 Full Review Mr Bovine J This is the problem with (most) critics, they're only gonna like films that are politically correct according to their own subjective interpretations. It doesn't even matter if the main character has an ending befitting of their choices, like Dray's. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/23/23 Full Review
