I Got the Hook-Up
by Michael Martin
from Dimension
Hip-hop czar Master P cowrote, executive produced, and stars in I Got the Hook-Up, which is truly one of the more surreal urban comedies ever seen. P plays Black, a small-time hustler who scams a shipment of cell phones. With his partner Blue (A.J. Johnson) and semi-girlfriend Lorraine (Gretchen Palmer), Black snags a bit of cellular service from a large corporation and starts making a bundle from cell-phone sales. Unfortunately, the phones are a bit undependable, and a gangbanger accidentally broadcasts the location of a package of cash over the radio, setting off a treasure hunt. The gangbanger swears vengeance on Black and Blue, the cellular company starts investigating the surge in use, the FBI gets involved--everyone's on the hunt for our heroes. This plot description, however, is much more direct than the way it plays out. I Got the Hook-Up is a bizarre conglomeration of oddball characters and odd, off-the-cuff incidents, such as when a couple of cops get called in for a domestic dispute, only to discover one of the cop's wives, a dwarf, having an affair with a guy in a leather bat suit. Or there's the funeral of a gangster that turns into a brawl; the pleasure palace a TV repairman has in the back of his shop; an FBI interrogation in which the agents tear off Mission: Impossible-style rubber masks--the plot quickly gets lost in the madness. Which is not a bad thing, really. Tall, laconic P and short, excitable Johnson make an appealing Mutt and Jeff comic duo. Featuring cameos by Ice Cube, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, and others. --Bret Fetzer
This outrageously out-of-control comedy adventure teams chart-busting hip hop sensation Master P with the hilarious A.J. Johnson (B.A.P.S., HOUSE PARTY). They're a pair of small-time hucksters who go mobile -- upwardly mobile -- when they turn a scammed truckload of cellular phones into more money and beautiful, sexy girls than they ever thought possible! But when this booming bootleg business gets its wires crossed, angry customers, mad-as-hell crooks, and the ever-so-clumsy FBI are all out to have these offbeat operators permanently disconnected! Also starring John Witherspoon (SPRUNG, RIDE, BOOMERANG) and Tommy "Tiny" Lister Jr. (FRIDAY) ... plus special appearances by Ice Cube and Snoop Doggy Dogg, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, and more!
