content: While "Phat Beach" has a good premise, it ultimatley goes nowhere. Throughout the film I kept waiting for it to get interesting soon, but it never did. None of the inexperienced actors have the charm ability to carry the movie by themselves. "Phat Beach" may have been more enjoyable if someone like Martin Lawrence or Chris Tucker starred in it instead of these inexperienced comedians. Plus, the script is extemely slow and unfunny. Some jokes had the potential to be funny, but weren't executed right, due to the director's lack of skill. I only laughed twice at the most during the whole film. By the way, the advertisements show Coolio on the cover as if he was a main character , but he actually is only in the film for about 2 minutes.
