Upset at discovering that his ex-girlfriend is planning to move out of state with the couple's young son, Durell knows that the only way to keep his fractured family in close proximity to one another is to raise the 17,000 dollars needed to pay off her growing debt.

    I think everyone is dogging out this movie because they expected to see the next Friday movie, which it isnt. This movie is funny and has a really good message. It made me laugh and cry. I think it was definately better then "Are we done yet?" Its about 2 kids off the street that get into some trouble and need money fast or they are going to get a Jamaican foot up their ass. While doing community service they follow a hot girl into a church that has spent the last year raising money. They decide to come back later that night to rob the church and end up finding more then they planned. This movie doesnt try to preach to you. It just makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. My only complaint is that they should have used Katt Williams more! He is hilarious!!!

    Just plain not well thought out. The score was annoying. Do you have to tell us what to feel at almost all times? meh.
