I was not expecting a very good movie, but this turned out to be pretty well done.
The plot was an old story, but they did a very good job keeping it fresh and not distractingly predictable.
This would have been awful in the hands of anybody other than Bernie Mac and Samuel Jackson.
Mac’s expressions and his earnestness in selling a gag are irrepressible and Jackson knows when to be a straight man and when to deliver something special.
Another re-write and some stronger direction would have made this a classic.
The story begins when two former singers Named Floyd Henderson (Bernie Mac), and Louis Hinds (Samuel L. Jackson) in the seventies where in a group called The Real Deal.
Now thirty years, after learning about one of there partners named Marcus Hooks(John Legend), died of a heart attack.
Despite a little old grudges with each other, Floyd and Louis decide to re-team anyway.
But during a trip that might encounter misadventure.
Will they make it without killing each other first.
enjoy!
