Movie Haiku:Sundance crowd-pleaser about an unlikely group of Memphis losers coming together to create a rap demo tape. Their hope is to receive support from a local star home for a brief visit (Chris “Ludacris” Bridges). Howard’s terrific in the center as a pimp fixed on his last chance at redemption.
