After his hilarious appearance in 50 Cent"s hip hop anthem "P-I-M-P" Gangsta rapper and part time actor; Snoop Dogg, seems intent on sabotaging his movie career in "Boss n" Up". This sorry excuse for a picture, hot on the heels of Snoop"s other dog: "Soul Plane", is best seen as an extended music video, or better yet, best not seen at all.
"Boss n" Up" is the kind of movie satirised in Rusty Cundieff's classic mockumentary: "Fear Of A Black Hat", Snoop"s character is working some dead end job in a grocery store, when a chance encounter with top pimp Orange Juice (Hawthorne James) sets him on the path to pimping superstardom. He puts his first ho; Chardonnay (a spirited performance by virtual newcomer Shille Anderson) on the game, and spends the rest of the movie wondering if he should be a light n" breezy kind of pimp, or keep his bitches on a tight leash like the other pimps. This is a terrible movie, more so because Snoop Dogg isn"t as bad an actor as you might think; he was excellent in "Baby Boy", did well in his "Training Day" cameo and had great comic timing in "Starsky & Hutch". "Boss n" Up", though intermittently amusing, is one for die hard fans and Snoop Dogg completists only.
