Miles Waise is a fast rising nightclub comedian whose life is made difficult by his brother Fifty Dollah, a scheming hood whose dream is to start a comedy club with Foolish. And they conflict with each other when the lovely Desiree appears on the scene, and they are both hopelessly attracted to her.
The film loses complete credibility when the audiences at the comedy clubs where Foolish works go wild with delight, way out of proportion to the hilarity of the material. And Foolish is just a little too smug about his artistic integrity.

It's probably more reasonable to evaluate it as an Eddie Griffin concert film.
Simpleminded melodrama about two brothers' conflicting struggles to better their lives. Oops, not only did I describe the story, I just gave the entire story away. Sorry.
Eddie Griffin buffs have the best reason to check out this amateurish effort: Griffin's profane, sometimes sharply observed stand-up routines take up a big chunk of the movie's total running time.
The miserable production values-the cardboard sets rival a Little Rascals talent show-and P's stone-faced delivery are merely amateurish, but as a vanity project for Griffin, Foolish is downright appalling.
