There are things to like about this movie..mainly the 3 main cast members and soundtrack but the movie was kind of a mess. Felt like many movies mashed in one. Rocky was good

The n word was too incessant. Maybe im getting old but the 23 and under crowd will love this
Those of us around 30 may feel ols.

But damn zoe is fine.. chanel and kiersey too
 
Movie was pure trash. I was

 through the whole thing.

I noticed the thing about the N word, I think some of the characters sounded natural using it (main character) but mostly it seemed like it was crowbared into sentences to make them seem more authentic. 

I think the director was really just out of his element trying to make a youth movie

Lisa Bonet Jr can have it all, doe.
 
I love the message at the end about going to Harvard. But outside of that the movie was mad random and just off. I wanted to like it and rock it with but just couldn't. Music was legit tho.
 
i really liked the film... diggy :smokin

asap was actally kinda good. the stacey cameo :smokin

im 26 and i felt the N word was used wayyyyyy too much when it wasnt necessary to use it.

lol i was like one of a few black ppl in a theater of whte ppl. kinda awk

quincy's restauraunt monologue had me hyped lol

I thought the entire conversation about non-blacks using the word was hilarious and fairly accurate.
 
Idk where yall from that yall thought N was used too much. Seem like normal conversation between teenagers.

All around good movie for young people but def not one that will have a place forever in the culture like the wood. Movie was a tad too hipster for me so i couldnt relate to it and didnt like the force usage of the N word to make it seem authentic, lol outside of Rocky nobody sounded natural or comfortable saying it.

Is this how people felt with Fruitvale Station and "breh" :lol:
Pissed me off
 
Were we watching the same thing. This is straight to DVD not even Blu-Ray worthy :smh:
 
Saw this last night.

very very good movie, enjoyed every second. It was quirky and there's a ton of subtle references to pop culture.

One of my favorite this yeae
 
Joint was wack. Mad formulaic. Poor plot and character development. Has characters just disappearing after being introduced, some came just to move the plot. The whole 90s rap subplot was so unnecessary. I feel like it was there just to explain their silly clothes and hairstyle. The rap convo between the main dude and Rocky was cringe worthy, clearly he ain know ****. The only thing I found interesting about the movie was they talked about the deepweb, which I feel like a lot of people who this movie is targeted to are unaware of its existence.

But anyway, joint was wack.

movie was decent but I will agree that that first conversation between the main character and rocky was cringe worrhy. After that the movie really improved.

"DOPE" is 1 of just 14 films starring actors of color in main roles this summer


Dope, the coming-of-age-story of a straight-A student in impoverished Inglewood, California, is one of just 14 films starring actors of color in main roles this summer. It’s also one of only four films that feature more than a single black or Hispanic actor as a principal character.

Released nationwide mid-June, Dope has grossed $14.3 million across 2,000 theatres – not bad for a small-budget indie. Written and directed by little-known Rick Famuyiwa, the project debuted to rave reviews at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival, with critics particularly praising the breakout performance of Shameik Moore as geeky lead Malcolm.

Financed with private equity through Forest Whitaker’s Significant Productions, the movie was co-produced by Significant Productions and Pharrell’s i am Other, in association with Diddy’s Revolt Films. (Pharrell wrote four original songs to the soundtrack, which are played by Moore and his band in the movie.)

Though the film is far from a box office force, its spot on the summer slate could not be more significant. Of the 52 live-action movies released between the beginning of June and end of August, Dope is in the 8% of films that feature more than one principal of color, along with Straight Outta Compton, Fantastic Four and Magic Mike XXL. A stunning 73% of this summer’s films do not feature a single actor of color as a main character.

Among the biggest roles for actors of color this summer: RJ Cyler in Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, Justice Smith in Paper Towns and Forest Whitaker in Southpaw. Far more black than Hispanic actors appear to have been cast, with the only other one main characters of color in Wild Horses (Adriana Barraza), American Ultra (John Leguizamo), Ted 2 (Morgan Freeman), Jurassic World (Omar Sy), Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation (Ving Rhames), The Vatican Tapes (Djimon Hinsou) and Ricki and the Flash (Audra McDonald). Several other films such as Spy, Terminator: Gensisys and Mastermind feature very minor characters of color, but these roles did not impact the movie’s plot enough to warrant inclusion.
