Although created by Mark Burnett of Survivor fame, the extremely popular reality series The Apprentice bore the unmistakable signature and imprimatur of its host, billionaire real-estate mogul Donald Trump. Each of the series' 13-episode program cycles found Trump presiding over 16 to 18 young, budding business executives, who would function as his temporary apprentices. The players were divided into two teams, each coming up with catchy corporate names like "Versacom," "Protégé," "Mosaic," and "Apex." The Donald and his corps of faithful subordinates -- notably Carolyn Kepcher and George Ross -- would assign the teams a variety of moneymaking projects, from developing and marketing a new product to establishing and managing a start-up business. A different player from each team would be the project manager each week, and would often behave in as dictatorial and ruthless a manner as possible to get results (in other words, the managers often acted like "Mini-Trumps"). At the end of every episode, the contestants would be gathered into a dimly lit boardroom, whereupon Trump would cold-bloodedly assess their successes and failures -- and then dismiss the week's least efficient contestant from the losing team with a terse "You're fired!" (supplanting Who Wants to Be a Millionaire's "Is that your final answer?" as TV's most quoted catchphrase). "You're fired!" gained such widespread popularity that Trump seriously considered copyrighting the phrase so that no one else could use it! At the end of the season, the one person who had curried the lion's share of Trump's favor would be given a 250,000-dollar-per-year job within the vast Trump Organization. Not surprisingly, many viewers tuned into The Apprentice not to see who would win, but to wallow in the humiliations of those who failed. Backbiting, backstabbing, and nervous breakdowns became the order of the day, with the least popular of the contestants -- notably the first season's infamous Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth -- often becoming the biggest "instant" celebrities. For those not interested in that sort of thing, the series was also a star-watchers' paradise, with guest appearances by dozens of Trump's high-profile friends and business associates. Making its NBC debut on January 8, 2004, The Apprentice ran anywhere from 60 to 90 minutes per episode. Even while new episodes were produced, the series was rebroadcast on NBC's sister cable service CNBC. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

A rich kid who likes to pretend he's from the wrong side of the tracks gets a taste of the real thing in this comedy. Brad Gluckman (Jamie Kennedy) is the son of a wealthy and socially prominent couple (Ryan O'Neal and Bo Derek) and grew up in the lap of luxury in Malibu, CA. However, Brad likes to imagine he's a street-smart gangsta from the mean streets of L.A., and he's been trying to launch a career as a hardcore rapper under the name "B-Rad." Mr. Gluckman is running for Governor of California, and both he and his campaign manager (Blair Underwood) are convinced Brad's antics could have a negative impact on the election, so they come up with a scheme to change his mind about the supposed glamour of street life. Mr. Gluckman hires a pair of African-American actors (Taye Diggs and Anthony Anderson) to impersonate a pair of gang-bangers from Compton who carjack Brad's SUV and take him to the 'hood, where he'll learn just how scary the thug life can be. However, it soon becomes obvious the actors don't know much more about life in Compton than Brad does, and as Brad gets used to his new surroundings, he falls for a girl from the neighborhood (Regina Hall) who has her own plans for moving up in the world. Malibu's Most Wanted was inspired by a character Jamie Kennedy created for his sketch comedy series The Jamie Kennedy Experiment. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
