Description
A black Telle Tubbi, a stolen camera and an outrageous pimp are just some of the colorful and hilarious cast of characters that make up Chicago's sketch comedy film series "Urban Scenze".

Beginning on live stage like other sketch comedy shows "Urban Scenze" has gained a huge underground following and has become a comedic and hip interpretation of Chicago's urban madness in all of the harshness and chaos of the big city. Lawrence uses his gift of humor to give light to issues we only glance at.

Remaining true to the live show the film has a real urban quality to it with a strong hip-hop community influence, being compared to "In Living Color" and "The Dave Chapelle Show" the skits are as edgy and controversial as ever!

If you're ever in a funk, watch this DVD and you'll never be in one again. I enjoyed it from beginning to end, and I know you will, too. You'll find yourself watching it again and again, laughing out loud as you recognize some of these same characters on your job, on your bus or train, or walking down your block (but hopefully not any of your friends and family members)! Tell everyone you know to pick up or order a copy for birthday gifts, holiday gifts, house warmings, you name it,and they'll love you for it. Add the CD and you'll be an instant hit!

I don't really like most comedies, but this movie had me laughing out loud from beginning to end. The funniest parts for me were the crackhead scenes. Anybody who has ever lived in an urban area knows someone just like that! The skits reminded me of "In Living Color", with maybe a little "Saturday Night Live" thrown in. Watching this movie made me sad that I missed this show when it was being performed on stage. I can just imagine how much fun the live show must have been if the dvd is any indication. The music is great, too, and it fits the hip hop feel of the rest of the movie. If you like sketch comedy, or you just like to laugh, I would really suggest this movie. I can't wait for Part 2!

The sketches in this movie had me laughing so hard I was literally in tears crying. The characters are hilarious and unforgettable. The movie may be based in urban Chicago but it's humorous appeal it's universal. I love the incorporation of hip-hop music videos with the various sketches. If you want to laugh until it hurts....then I suggest you buy this movie.
