A lot was attempted here, without much focus, but with considerable talent. The trouble is this just does not come together, as a feature length movie. I'm a big fan of OutKast's video's.

It's fast, beautiful, well thought out, funny, sad, exciting, and all around entertaining. The musical numbers and choreography were great, and the actors (particularly Terrence Howard, Andre Benjamin, and Paula Patton) were great too. Please give it a chance. I'm willing to bet that this film is nominated later this year at the Golden Globes (Best Comedy or Musical Film), and the Academy Awards (Best Original Song, Art Direction, Costume Design, Makeup). Very fun and a great ride.… Expand

Captivating cinematography. Big Boi and Dre really come out of their shells, emerging as confident and dynamic actors. Some scenes just draw you into another world. This movie is less about plot, the story should not be the main focal point, Captivating cinematography. Big Boi and Dre really come out of their shells, emerging as confident and dynamic actors. Some scenes just draw you into another world. This movie is less about plot, the story should not be the main focal point, its more about conjuring emotions through imagery and sound. And in this, it is nearly flawless.… Expand

Blows "Moulin Rouge" & "Chicago" away just in terms of sheer excitement. Beautifully filmed, obscenely talented and just plain *fun*.

This was the most confusing, disgusting movie we've seen in a very long time... we walked out after 20 minutes and that was 15 minutes too late!

[**** SPOILERS***] Good movie, with arguably the year's worst ending tacked on. (The death of one of the key characters) They really reached into "movie clichés 101" for that ending. Somebody really needed to tell filmmakers when you

Excellent in true Outkast fashion. The music is awesome. It is originally eccentric. I cannot wait for the DVD.

Slick camera work and integration of new with the old. Movie starts off promising and then just fizzles--predictable plot, etc. Dialogue needs work and sometimes I couldn't understand what the actors were saying. Although I am a fan of Slick camera work and integration of new with the old. Movie starts off promising and then just fizzles--predictable plot, etc. Dialogue needs work and sometimes I couldn't understand what the actors were saying. Although I am a fan of Andre Benjamin's his voice is not as strong as he thinks it is in this genre of singing. Scene at the end, which plays like a music video is really creepy and a little off with the rest of the movie. They should have used less slick visual devices and concentrated on script and plot. It wasn't a total loss--somewhat entertaining. I'd wait for the DVD.… Expand

An amazing visual treat. A genre-bending, foot-tapping, mind-blowing barage of music and dancing. Absolutely dazzling. A spectacle. Outkast fans will not be disappointed!

The dialogue in the movie could not be understood and the sex was too graphic... I walked out.
