Ganked

2005 · 108 min

A breezy, good-natured underdog comedy that coasts on charm and hip-hop flavour rather than sharp laughs.

Overview: Aspiring songwriter Ricky Barry (Kel Mitchell) finally gets the break he's been waiting for when he enters a song in a contest and wins. But instead of being a ticket to the top, his triumph lands him nothing more than a mail room job at a record company when his tune is recorded by singing superstar Kennedy Ross (Bombay). Determined to prove Kennedy's a phony, Ricky sets out to discredit her, but his plans fall apart when he falls in love.
How it feels: Light, warm, romantic and satirical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Ambition, music, love, class
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
