Woo, Don Siegel directs this fantastically. Even setting aside the big setpieces there are some great touches. My favorite shot is this tilt that follows a woman spreading flowers in a pool at a resort with people diving off boards in the background. It doesn't transcend its generic requirements but it hits all its marks awesomely.
Thematically it toes the line between understatement and navel-gazing a la RBL Posse, but the real interest lies in the production. Some of it's pretty generic, but the high points are outstanding (and deserve a more talented MC honestly).
Choice cuts: Let the Good Times Roll (Nickel Bag), It's a Dope Thang, Now You Have to Understand
