I hate Cuba Gooding Jr. He has starred in so much c**p, that he really should give back that Oscar that he won. I read an article where he stated that their aren't enough good roles for African Americans...so that's why he chooses the roles that he does. That doesn't make any sense to me. Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman, Djimon Hounsou, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Don Cheadle (just to name a few), don't seem to have any trouble putting out good movies. Cuba should just hold out for better roles to come along and avoid starring in anything like "Boat Trip", "Daddy Day Camp", and "Snow Dogs". Having a bit part in "American Gangster" was a good start....so build on that Cuba.
Yeah, Cuba sucks.
Cuba needs to fire his agent. He must need to pay down some bills to keep working in these no name films.
Seems like a fairly decent cast for a DTV feature.

Mars Callahan is actually a decent director. Even though this is a DTV feature, I would give it a shot. Mars directed the film "Poolhall Junkies" - I thought that this little film was somewhat of a gem. I would at least rent this.
In response to Cuba's choice of projects... well... I'd have to say that when you can get paid several million dollars to run around with kids or dogs or whatever, I'd be happy to take the roles. I don't think it is so much about which roles he takes... when he does get a decent part, I think he shines.

Further, when you mention Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman, Djimon Hounsou, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Don Cheadle -- who says Cuba is even getting offered such rolls? They may all be African American but, and it nearly goes without saying, they're all very different actors.

Love stinks.
Was this even worth posting about?!
okaayyyyy... this even had a theatrical release? and Anne Heche? She looks way different in that cover though.
I think I was in love once. She was Brazilian, or Chinese, or something weird. I met her in the bathroom of a K-Mart and we made out for hours. Then we parted ways, never to see each other again.
I'm pretty sure that's not love.
Good Lord Awful cover! The only redeeming quality about it is Gina Gershon's hotness and sexy lips.
I will gladly pass on this.

Cuba is most definitely....not being offered the same kind of roles as those actors. It is because he chooses to star in dreck like "Boat Trip" and "Snow Dogs". So as you can see.....he brings it all on himself. If he were to hold out for better parts and actually push for them.....he might be able to crawl out of that hole that he's been residing in since Jerry Maguire.

one of the best little review blurbs i've seen on rotten tomatoes was for "daddy day camp" and it said "daddy day camp, a comedy for no ages, has an amazing amount of cgi -- cuba gooding incompetence".
Cuba is definitely currently sitting at rock bottom. He cannot possibly get any lower.
Or can he...?
Or can he...?
Since when did Matthew Lillard have a sex/colour change operation? Ah well, more power to him........or should I say her.
Just when I thought Cuba Gooding, Jr. was making a comeback, with his strong performance as Nicky Barnes in American Gangster, they had to go and announce this.........
Cuba has admitted that he made some bad choices after winning the Oscar, and he continues to pay for it because people now only remember the bad choices and not the Oscar. And I believe he did fire his agent a year or so ago. He's now kind of screwed himself. And he needs a better manager more than an agent, although he needs a better agent, too.
As for this movie, how come Matthew Lilard looks so much like a bad picture of Anne Heche?

.....And since when did Anne Heche suddenly become Tamala Jones?!?
