Description

Jaby & Michael react to How to Be a Player (1997), a comedy that follows a smooth-talking ladies’ man whose carefully balanced dating life begins falling apart after his sister decides it’s time to expose his nonstop cheating and manipulation. Packed with late-90s comedy energy, relationship chaos, and escalating misunderstandings, the film leans heavily into outrageous situations and fast-paced humor as everything spirals out of control. This reaction stands out for its wild comedy, nostalgic 90s atmosphere, and nonstop awkward situations, as Jaby & Michael experience every ridiculous lie, chaotic reveal, and comedic disaster in real time. Directed by Lionel C. Martin (Never Die Alone, music video directing, Mo’ Money music videos, hip-hop visual projects, urban comedy films), the film stars Bill Bellamy (Love Jones, Any Given Sunday, Fastlane, Insecure, The Brothers), Natalie Desselle-Reid (BAPS, Cinderella, Eve, Def Jam’s How to Be a Player, Madea’s Big Happy Family*), Bernie Mac (The Bernie Mac Show, Ocean’s Eleven, Transformers, Friday, Guess Who), Lark Voorhies (Saved by the Bell, Days of Our Lives, In the House, How High, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine), and Anthony Johnson (Friday, House Party, Menace II Society, BAPS, I Got the Hook-Up*), bringing together a cast tied to iconic comedy, cult favorites, and recognizable 90s entertainment that continues to drive strong reaction and nostalgia-based audience appeal. ___________________________________________________ We've got merch!

In Dre's apartment, there is a poster of the movie The Mack. Max Julien, who portrayed Dre's Uncle Fred, starred in The Mack (1973) as Goldie.

Bill Bellamy said it originally ended with him getting away with it, but test audiences didnt like it. So they went back and changed it so that he got caught
