Toss in a recommendation from me, too. Just watched it last weekend and it was a lot of fun. I have to wonder how much of Jamie Foxx's lines were improv or written as is, because he was one of the highlights for me. Just a really solid movie overall.

Some of Teyonah's lines sounded very natural too, even the ones with cliches like "habitual line stepper."
Overall I really liked the dialogue between the main trio.
"habitual line stepper" was what Charlie Murphy said about Rick James in that Chappelle's Show skit.
When the three were together was the highlight for me, They played off eachother so well.
Jamie Foxx is just so good. It's honestly unfair how talented he is. I remember realizing he was going to be huge watching his stand-up specials where he sings, plays piano, and improvs at the end. Look up "Vibin with Jamie Foxx". It's the end piece to his last special and it's fantastic.
Throwing in a recommendation as well. Loved the sci-fi references they had to a few classic sci-fi films.
Examples? I wasn't paying full attention while watching, so I think I missed most of them.
For real. Such a fantastic flick!
