Harsh critics do not appreciate the humor in this movie
This movie is stupid, the plot is basically meaningless, and there is no real drama. And it's a good thing, because this is a comedy. Anthony Johnson(a.k.a. Blue & Ezel from Friday) is hilarious. Whether intended to be funny or not, parts of this movie are not only incredibly humorous, but astounding. If you ask me, a movie with Anthony Johnson and "Tiny" Lester cannot be bad.
One of the Best of the Worst
This is definitely one of those movies just to watch to see how bad it is. I'm not too sure if you'll be laughing at it, or laughing with it, but the scenarios are ridiculous (including retarded gangsters trying to ride their bicycles and talk on the cellphone at the same time), the acting is pretty horrible (although Master P's vocabulary primarily consists of Uuuuuuuuugh anyway), and there's gratuitous shots of just about anything that doesn't help the continuity of the movie. Next to "Dolemite II: The Human Tornado", this is probably the funniest movie that its only humor is derived from the horribleness of the movie.
I love this movie. And no, I'm not Master P's cousin.
I've seen more than my share of bad movies. I've seen my share, your share, probably your dad's share too. And the lady who delivers your mail Monday through Friday, the one who sometimes waves to you when you're out waiting for your dog to take a shizer, I've definitely seen her share. I went to see Master P's "I Got The Hook Up" in 1998 after reading a review in the arts section of the local newspaper, a review not unlike the negative ones here on IMDb. It declared "Hook Up" to be the absolute worst film the critic had ever seen, and set about quoting some of the supposedly awful lines from the movie. It was upon reading these quotes that I decided I had to go see this flick immediately. If you laughed at "Friday", there's absolutely no reason you won't laugh at "I Got The Hook Up". It's cut from the same cloth and features a few of the same key cast members as well. The cinematography and overall look of the film are surprisingly impressive as well (the production value is actually better than "Friday"). But the greatest part of this film is the dialog and characters. At times, it almost feels like they cast hilarious people and just let them say whatever they wanted. The fact IMDb didn't have ANY "memorable quotes" listed for this movie tells me it is truly under-appreciated. I added several of my favorite lines in hopes that some of you guys might laugh and check out this film.
i got the hook up is bout it bout it!
i got the hook up is a pretty down movie. Master P could have played a better role like a mob boss instead of a little street hustler. it wasn't as good as his last movie's Da Last Don and I'm Bout IT. personally i thought the movie was good. i give it a 7.0/10
Blatant rip-off of Friday.
It's obvious as to what inspired Master P to make this "cinematic gem." John Witherspoon, A. J. Johnson, Tiny Lester, and several other of the actors in Hook Up were all playing their same respective roles from Friday - Ice Cube's day-in-the-life ghetto comedy. I wish there was an original idea in this movie, but there isn't. One would think that with the collaborative effort NO LIMIT uses to write and direct their movies they would produce at least one film with substantial length or original content. Sadly, this movie falls short on both stipulations. I hope Master P and the NO LIMIT crew had fun making this horrible movie because audience members won't have fun watching it.
