Hustle & Flow
Synopsis – everybody's gotta dream...of being a rapper?
Rating – it's hard out here for a viewer
I kept watching this flick, although a couple of times I wondered. I have feelings about the subject matter (like I don't buy that someone "accidentally" becomes a pimp and drug dealer, comeon), but there was something about Terrence Howard's performance that kept me from just bailing on the whole thing. FYI: the theme song "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" won best original song in the 2006 Academy Awards.
Here's my takeaway from the movie. Becoming a successful rapper is like believing in Santa Claus. If you "believe with all your heart" it comes true.
There's a lot of offensive language and obviously sex & drug content. Not for kids or teens.
