Rap music star and
No Limit Records boss
Master P, after a series of successful straight-to-video features and one theatrical release,
I Got The Hook-Up, made a bid for wider big-screen success with
Foolish, which teamed him with comedian
Eddie Griffin. "Fifty Dollah" Waise (
Master P) is involved in a crime ring that earns him good money but worries his grandmother (
Marla Gibbs), who dotes on him and encourages him to follow a more righteous path. Fifty Dollah's brother "Foolish" (
Eddie Griffin) is an aspiring comedian, but his inability to get his career going convinces his older sibling he's wasting his talents. While Fifty Dollah tries to get his own life in order and give Foolish the push he needs, he also has to deal with a sudden conflict with criminal leader Eldorado Ron (
Andrew Dice Clay) and a painful romantic triangle when he and Foolish fall for the same woman (
Amy Petersen). In addition to music from
Master P and a host of other
No Limit artists,
Foolish features an original score by former
Prince associates
Wendy Melvoin and
Lisa Coleman.
Master P also wrote the film's screenplay.
