Lil' Pimp

Scott Hardie: “It was ok.”

I'm a stranger to the original Internet shorts, but whatever the subject matter, the phrase "the first feature film to be created entirely in Macromedia Flash" got my attention. I was impressed with the fluidness and forward momentum of the film, knowing that many of the individual shots had to have taken upwards of a day to create. It could have wound up playing a lot more disjointedly than it does. Whatever political-correctness alarms were going off in my head over the adaptation of parasitic, vicious monsters into loveable cartoon characters, I concede that the pimp is becoming an iconic figure in American trash culture, and the film is pleasantly enjoyable once you swallow that bitter pill. A few scenes induce big laughs, especially a violent commercial for an action figure, and the voice actors nail their material, in particular Lil' Kim and Jill Talley. It's too tasteless to recommend, but I can't say it didn't give me a few laughs.
