Miles "Foolish" Waise (Griffin) is a fast-rising phenomenon on the local comedy nightclub scene. While his manager wants him to sell out and make the big bucks, Foolish just wants to chill out and make his audiences happy. He's also got to put up with the half-baked schemes of his always-scammin' brother Quentin "Fifty Dollah" Waise (Master P) - a small-time hoodlum whose secret dream is to start a comedy club with Foolish. But when the two brothers get caught up in a gun-toting prank that goes bad, Quentin finds himself on the wrong side of the hood's most ruthless drug lord, the infamous El Dorado Ron (Andrew Dice Clay). Now, it's going to take more than brotherly love for these siblings to survive the inner-city jungle long enough to make their stand-up dreams come true! (official distributor synopsis)
