I recently watched Sprung (1997) on Tubi. The storyline follows a pair of guy friends and a pair of girlfriends in search of their perfect match. They attend the same party but initially don't find what they're looking for until they're on their way out. One guy and one girl believe they're compatible, while the other two friends foresee a potential booty call. The booty call couple thinks their friends are getting too serious and attempt to sabotage their relationship.
Directed by and starring Rusty Cundieff (Fear of a Black Hat), the film also features Tisha Campbell (Martin), Paula Jai Parker (Hustle & Flow), John Witherspoon (Friday), Joe Torry (Tales from the Hood), and Clarence Williams III (Half Baked).
While the…
Man, Rusty stacked this cast!
Their cameos alone are worth it. Other than that he's made better (Fear of a Black Hat anyone?), but it's hella 90s while corny at the same time, and romancy, with a few laughs.
Underseen indeed.
young rusty cundieff was so fine oh god
Joe Torry wears one of the most spectacularly fly tie+suspenders combo in film history at one point in this movie. the fashion/costume design here is all time pantheon level.
also if you don't know who Joe Torry is, go watch the docuseries "Phat Tuesdays: The Era Of Hip Hop Comedy" (2022), which has whole storyline about Joe and his brother Guy Torry, who were huge figures in the breakout of the black LA comedy scene in the 90s.
i could watch this everyday
To paraphrase one of the characters in the film, this movie is pretty romantical. This is directed by and stars Rusty Cundieff who has several notable credits including “Tales From the Hood,” “Fear is a Black Hat,” and “Hollywood Shuffle,” which is why it’s so strange that this doesn’t have much of a reputation at all. As a teenager, I worked at the theater when this was out and for the longest time I had a promotional pin for it. Anyway, this is very charming at times with several humorous special effects-based visual gags, a sweetly romantic second act, and a stand out performance by Paula Jai Parker. It also has a bright, colorful, and fun 90’s visual flare.
An overlooked gem of ‘90s rom coms.
Might not be groundbreaking but it's fun, energetic and absolutely outrageous.
"Why you gotta go and bring Farrakhan into this?"
It's also wonderfully shot and decorated. And the score and surreal touches only enhance the breezy atmosphere. Tisha Campbell-Martin is great and Paula Jai Parker is one of cinemas greatest gifts (wearing some of its' greatest outfits). I came in looking for a 90s nostalgia fix and ended up hoping Paula Jai Parker and Joe Torry were gonna hook up. Getting me that involved in your supporting characters is worth appreciating. There's also a terrific and relatively subdued John Witherspoon cameo (during an outrageous interrogation scene).

Springy.
This honestly ended up being way better than I thought It would be like the plot was a simple but fun one that plays out really great cause It digs into some goofy comedy but does it so well that I didn’t expect ! The cast was all great and loved them all! The jail lineup scene got me so damn weak 😂 like John never misses with his comedy 💀 overall thou It was a pretty great watch if you ask me !
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
THE WEDDING FAKEOUT GOT ME SOOOOO GOOD
very enjoyably campy. impeccably styled also. wish montel didn’t talk like that though...
