Idlewild (Widescreen Edition) description The eclectic, pell-mell energy of hip-hop maestros Outkast gives a jolt to Idlewild, their first movie as a team (both have acted independent of each other: Andre Benjamin, a.k.a. Andre 3000, has previously appeared in Four Brothers and Be Cool, and Antwan "Big Boi" Patton was in ATL). Young bootlegger Rooster (Patton) and undertaker's son Percival (Benjamin) are best friends from childhood, but adult life has become woefully complex: Rooster's wife despises his life at the nightclub Church, Percival is stuck taking care of his depressed father, and an ambitious gangster (Terrence Howard, Hustle & Flow, Crash) kills Rooster's mentor (Ving Rhames, Rosewood) to take over the gangster's bootlegging operation. The arrival of a high-handed cabaret singer (Paula Patton, Hitch) may help Rooster save Church, but when she and Percival fall in love, troubles multiply. Idlewild's musical numbers are packed with dynamic spectacle--not surprising, given that director Bryan Barber previously directed music videos for Outkast. Unfortunately, Barber's script is lackluster, taking some particularly cliche turns toward the end. Still, there are plenty of pop-out performances--singer Macy Gray turns up the heat in the opening number--that put Idlewild a step above such pop-star-driven flicks as Under the Cherry Moon and Glitter. --Bret Fetzer |

| I love outkast since day one. I liked the fact they added some of their previous songs to the soundtracks. Some of my favs.
The crappiness of this movie features Macy Gray. What the hell!! I could have done without her in this movie, especially singing. I like her voice for acting but not so much singing, it's ridiculous. the first 25 minutes or so I was having problems getting over some of the other ridiculous things going in the movie. like the rapping in 1940's Georgia. alrighty then!! also Faizon Love's acting and that voice were the pits. Moving on!! The best parts were the shoot outs. And the scene on the dirt road with Cicely Tyson and the bible she gave to Big Boi's character. It's something to watch to get you through the day or nite. |
