Following in the gutter of other black-protagonist foul comedies such as SENSELESS and BOOTY CALL, comes I GOT THE HOOK UP, a rank, distasteful, obscenity-laden story of two swindling businessmen who inadvertently take down an urban drug dealer. Tedious in its numbing display of immorality, this movie fell off the hook at the box office.
Hip hop artists Master P and A.J. Johnson play businessmen Black and Blue. They sell odds and ends out of the back of a van and whine about how little money they have. One day, Black tells a confused delivery man to drop off a shipment of cellular phones at his own door. Essentially, Black steals these phones to sell in his own upstart cellular business. Black sweet talks his cheating girlfriend Lorraine (Gretchen Palmer) to open up unauthorized airwave for these phones through her work at Cellular Two.
She does, and soon, a local drug boss buys out Black and Blue’s whole inventory. Yet, because the lines and phones are cheap, a phone conversation about an important drug deal is broadcast over a local hip-hop radio station. The deal doesn’t happen, and Black and Blue must find a way to avoid revenge by the drug boss and keep their business open.
Throughout this wire thin story, other crimes occur. Money is stolen, church services are mocked, as is baptism, and a fight breaks out inside a church, with men thrown out of stained glass windows. A cross-dresser named Tootsie Roll shines up to a clueless phone fraud investigator while Black and Blue visit strip clubs and even their uncle’s backroom sex den. Morality is non-existent, Christianity is mocked, and Black and Blue don’t pay for their crimes. This is one movie that didn’t deserve, nor did it receive, a reward. It shouldn’t be puzzling why crime remains a problem in urban areas, when crime-encouraging products like this are specially crafted for its dwellers.
