Jen Yamato The Daily Beast Jun 2, 2015
Not only uses Ginuwine's 1996 thirst anthem "Pony" to great effect-it also casts Ginuwine as one of Chocolate City's shining stars, grinding for dollars to his own song. Go to Full Review Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times May 21, 2015
The make-it-rain clichs are abundant and Jean-Claude La Marre's direction is pedestrian ... Go to Full Review VyceVictus Birth.Movies.Death. Feb 6, 2020
As opposed to the sharp cinematography and direction of Steven Soderbergh and his disciple Gregory Jacobs, Chocolate City goes for more intimately hazy and lingering POV shots. Go to Full Review Kam Williams Baret News May 24, 2015
2/4
A derivative, estrogen-fueled, overcoming-the-odds saga strictly recommended for females interested in seeing sepia-skinned Adonises gyrate while disrobing to mind-numbing disco music. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Nov 16, 2020 Magic Mike's parody. Without the satire. See more Aug 6, 2017 0/5! Same as Magic Mike part 1 and same storyline! But Channing matched the role way more :) See more Jan 27, 2017 what is this? ez a black version of 'magic mike: one and 2 See more Aug 24, 2015 Terrible! Don't waste your time or money. See more Aug 4, 2015 Boring. The dancing is remedial, they just do the same body roll over and over. There was nothing sexy about it despite the hot bodies. They rag on the real Magic Mike and throw around the "N" word. The worst part was the over preachy sermen that makes you feel sleazy for even watching the movie. Save your money not worth your time. See more Jul 6, 2015 Very low budget film.....the story was very predictable and lacked content!!!! See more Read all reviews
