Latest 6 Reviews Here is what people are saying about the American Pimp
"Pimping and Prattling"

Pimps are despicable and weird, but they are flat out entertaining.
American Pimp goes "underground" with several current and past pimps and interviews them about their careers. Pimps have no allure for an "L7" (square) such as myself, so it was interesting to listen to why this particular profession continues to flourish. There is a whole culture around pimps that I was totally unaware of-gator shoes, macks, green and gold ("green for the money, gold for the honey"). Pimps demonstrate unabashed pride in controlling girls psychologically. I was shocked to learn that "ho's" receive zero of their earnings, I thought it was more of a 50/50 sort of a split. But the most interesting thing about this film by far is the way pimps talk-their pimp prattle. Maybe they get their honey with their alliterations and word play. Their chatter is mesmerizing. Maybe to some girls it's hypnotizing!
I doubted the honesty of one or two pimps in this film, but for the most part these men seemed genuine. The pimps had pictures from the 1970's to back up their stories girls in their "stables"-elaborately staged studio shots of pimps with their girls around them in front of desperately customized cars. The two guys that I doubted didn't seem like liars as much as story tellers. Some reviewers have commented that this film is dishonest, but you can't fake gold rings three inches high and a custom Cadillac with stained glass windows over the headlights! Even with pimps who are prone to hyperbole, American Pimp is more honest than a film like Pretty Woman-but a hooker with the heart of gold who meets a rich man is the story most people would prefer to believe.
American Pimp delivers a good interview without delving into the sociological issues. A highly entertaining film. Recommended.
I've caught this documentary a few times on cable TV and last night watched the entire thing from beginning to end.
What I liked: the open honesty of the pimps and the juxtaposition of the 1970s blaxploitation cinema of pimp culture with the reality of it.
But I didn't feel like I was getting complete honesty. Everything I've read or seen about prostitutes addresses the fear and terror they have of their pimp. Earn or get beaten. Earn or get killed. A friend of mine in Homicide has told me about a case in his city where a pimp took a girl outside of town, raped her and set her on fire, killing her in front of his other girls. True story. I read a book about a Christian ministry in the Midwest that included photos of teen prostitutes murdered by their pimps, one with an article of clothing stuffed in her mouth and a wire around her neck. I don't think I'll ever forget that.
Watching this "documentary," I got the feeling I was watching violent men on their best behavior. And that is not "honesty."
If I watch this doc again (because it is professionally made and well done), I want to count how many times you hear, "You know what I'm saying?"
"AMAZING DOCUMENTARY OF A TABOO BUT FASCINATING WORLD!"
This is a must-see movie for anyone who really wants to experience what pimping and prostitution is really about. And how can you make a pro or con judgment on something that you don't know anything about? The Hughes Brothers did a magnificent job, allowing real players tell THEIR story. I was presently surprised to discover a personal connection to the film. First my late husband's band Con Funk Shun had their biggest hit song "Ffun" featured in the film. And then one of the most colorful pimps (now retired), John "Rosebudd" Dixon was my late husband's childhood friend and remained a his friend until his death. Unfortunately the film was released two years after my husband died but he would have been really proud of John. John and I are still in touch to this day.
If you want an indepth, informative, and no-holds barred account of "The Life", check out this extraordinary film.
Nothing amazing here, just a really interesting Film.I really cant call it a serious documentary on the business of Pussy for sale. But some interesting characters. You just got to love " Bishop Don Magic Juan " A lot of these men's ideas will feel Alien to most of us but it's interesting to hear and see there unique perspective on life and women and the Society that condemns them but is love with the Product they sell.Some of the dialogue is priceless as are some of the intimate moments between the girls and there Employers.I think the great Fillmore Slim sums it up quite eloquently " pussy always gonna sell, even when cotton and corn don't " .
"HAPPY!!!!"

I LOOKED AROUND FOR A GREAT DEAL & I GOT 1 . IT WAS FAST EASY MY ORDER CAME VERY QUICK IN A FEW DAYS & IT WAS BRAND NEW I LOVED IT
I wonder about people sometimes.. they want the documentary to tell them right from wrong. That's just stupid.
This film is a verite style documentary.. they just interview pimps and prostitutes. Now think for a moment.. do you think these people are going to talk badly about their lifestyle? They are proud of it and say so. There are no rebuttals.. except in your own head (SO USE IT).. You HAVE to think.. and it does make you think.. because most of these guys are such good communicators and persuasive (basic skills of a good pimp) and very entertaining. You may be put off what they do, but you get to see their world from their perspective. So your brain is the filter for how you interpret the film.. don't look to the filmmakers to tell you what is right and wrong.
This is a real documentary.. its not an after 1:00 AM cable porn documentary. There is no nudity, nothing but long sentences of 4 letter words. And in my opinion, as someone who makes documentaries, it's a great one, and one of my personal favorites.
