The only thing nice about this movie are the girls. They fine as hell. Everything else is gabbage. From cinematography, to acting, to story, to soundtrack, to cast, to even the special effects used. Wack!

Candy (2017) is a movie I recently watched on Prime and tells the story of four Houston based best friends in the city who smuggle drugs and make lots of cash. As they get bigger and better and start to expand they look to execute their biggest move yet; unfortunately for them, one of the ladies has a new boyfriend and gets addicted to heroine. It might be a bad time to not be on your A game and there may quickly be a change in fortune for the ladies. This movie is directed by Nahala Johnson (Dominos: The Game We Play) and stars Sheneka Adams (Brotherly Love), Anthony Johnson (Friday), Kendrick Smith (Because I Love You) and Scarface (Narc). The strip club opening and the actresses in this are absolutely magnificent. The dialogue between characters isn't bad and the narration by the main character isn't terrible but isn't great either. The directing, quality of the film and cinematography are just okay and the ending of the movie is ridiculous. It sets up to be a great tragedy piece, but falls short. There are some twists at the end that could have been really good if executed better. This is a movie that with a better team could have been worthwhile. Overall this is a below average addition to the genre you can skip. I would score this a 3/10.

The most unbelievable film ever made. The women were the eye candy, and that's about it.

All imma say is..... they tried and I'll give an E for effort!!

While not on the level of a classic blaxploitation or a newer classic 90s hood film, it's just about what you could expect from a 2000s-era hood film. The acting isn't great but passable. The cast is diverse, and the women are attractive with beautiful figures (but not a single man is attractive in any way).

I usually don't watch these kinds of films, but I do like Pam Grier blaxploitation films, and the streaming service I watched Candy on has so many black films that I thought I'd give it a shot. I thought I'd just skim through it, but I actually ended up being entertained by it enough to watch until the end. It's not going to win any awards for accomplished filmmaking or acting, but it doesn't have to. It was just passable enough to be entertaining. It's like an expanded, non-musical version of a YT trap tale. It's fine; not great, just fine.

Don't be fooled by the poster/cover - the artwork that is being displayed here at imdb. It is a clever trick one might say to catch the attention of a few people (mainly the male audience). Do not expect the movie to reflect that.

Also this is low budget, so do not expect this to have big .. visuals. What it does have though, is a really cool soundtrack. If you are into the music that is. Also be aware that there are a lot of profanities being used. It is depicting people and how they would talk. In that sense it is quite real. Still there are many scenes that are unnecessary to the story or plot.

You have to suspend your disbelief quite a bit to be able to enjoy this. The twist towards the end might help - but it also might be too clever for its own good. Performances are a mixed bag ... you'll get some goodies during the end credits, including outtakes.

Very low budget - thought it was going to be a lot better. Plot was wack! Wasted 2 hours of my day! Total hood film. It was more a girl betrayal movie instead of a bloodshed drug lord movie. Smh

Urban. Niche market. Now can you believe these women will, with all professional skill; be able to rob lifelong gangsta's at gunpoint? Their male pride alone would cause them to fight back. Now some men might be clumsy and slow, true. But many are very fast and strong. So when these flabby women point them guns, those fast, strong kinda black men's hands would just flash out; and grab those women's soft wrists. Then where would they be? But it's just a movie. And the music was actually kinda good. More like Jamaican dancehall, than gangsta rap. Real relaxing music. Very fine.

This movie was terrible worst hour and a half ever. This was one naive young lady and dumb situation!!! Not a good storyline please please please save your time!!!!

This is movie is one of the worst I ever saw. Just a bunch of ho's breaking the law. I would've gave this mess a 3 if they would've got these woman naked. Horribly Wow.

Was a good movie.cant found sound track.music was the boom.

I knew what it was. Jessica Kylie was in it so I had to watch. I just want to know the name of that first track played in the movie. I can't find it anywhere.

My wife and I loved it! She said you hardly ever see a film from the woman's side of things and this film did it right!

It was an amazing movie, although I wish I could've downloaded the soundtrack couldn't find any of the songs but they were so good.

The movie was overall awesome to watch. Love the ending!

I loved it! The characters, acting, story plot was everything. Great job.

This film was nicely done. You're on your way! Keep it up!!

Everyone played a hell of a part.

Fell in love with smiley silly self. ( his voice )

All these bad reviews and I can't figure out why. I was skeptical when I read all these reviews but figured I would watch it anyway. The acting is on par with the budget, not the greatest but I've seen worse, but I mean that's to be expected. Not really a lot of action and the killings are done off screen. The plot is probably the more solid part of the movie, if you watch it until the end you will see what I mean. I wasn't sure what to expect with this but I think that was a blessing because I was able to enjoy it. Also another strong suit of this movie is the narration by the main character Candy (Sheneka Adams) was done well. The director did a good job and so did the actors for a low budget movie. It's actually refreshing to watch different actors given the "stars" we have in Hollywood now. 8 stars for the whole project.
