DVD REVIEW

UNCLE P

UNCLE P
Starring: Ella Joyce, Master P and Lil Romeo
 
Uncle P

 

By Tonisha Johnson

 

 

Uncle P (Master P) has to step in to help the family when his older sister (Ella Joyce) suddenly gets sick. Starring Romeo as Uncle P’ nephew, this film is definitely funny and filled with lessons learned; something missing from films today. 

Obviously this film was done some time ago as Lil Romeo is now just ‘Romeo’ and Master P as aged quite a bit. Even acquiring his own film production company Hollyhood Cinema. Headed straight to DVD, Uncle P is still funny now as it was then. 

With two daughters and son in tow, Mom gets overly stressed and has a minor attack. Meanwhile eccentric rap artist/fashion designer/business man Uncle P is dealing with his nagging girlfriend (Mari Marrow) who wants him to put her first by getting married and having a family. As P. Miller enjoys the good life his distant family is experiencing the worst.

Although the story line was fabricated to say the least still the idea of having a rich uncle come in and save the day isn’t an apparent reality to most. In fact, not many single mothers can even depend on family members even after a six year absence.

With his minor attempt at using his successful rapper cross actor son as a large headliner in the film along with veteran actor Ella Joyce, Master P proves to have smart moves alongside his business demeanor. Certainly Mari Marrow isn’t at all bad to watch as she adds humor and girlfriend antics to the already funny story.

Overall Uncle P is great movie to watch with family. It offers promise and hope to those that struggle in everyday life.
