Foolish is one the most overlooked movies from No Limit Films despite being advertised in nearly every No Limit album. The comedic movie Foolish was based off the life of movie star and comedian Eddie Griffin. You see, the movie Foolish tells the story of the trials and tribulations of Eddie Griffin in a comedic manner and comedic sense. The movie explains and discusses how he got into to go into film making. Chaos and love are the film’s strongest elements. Many news outlets called Foolish a low-budget comedy. No Limit tunes and or artists are showcased on the movie and soundtrack. Eddie Griffin and Master P have a sturdy, steadying presence throughout the film.

Master P, Eddie Griffin, and Clifton Powell starred in many of the movies produced by No Limit Films during the 1990s and 2000s. This movie was no exception. Of course Master P and Eddie Griffin took credit and the limelight since they both wrote the movie themselves. Eddie Griffin did all the screenwriting for the movie.
Foolish is one of the highly known but lesser mentioned movies produced by No Limit Films and directed by Master P. Whenever anyone brings up movies Master P produced, hardly anyone mentions the movie Foolish. It’s almost as if people forgot about the movie. Foolish somehow went sorely overlooked after 1999 despite being advertised in nearly every No Limit album and movie during that time. Even constant heavy promotion could not save Foolish from being an overlooked movie.
Other movies being promoted and pushed in No Limit’s albums and movies during that time resulted in Foolish being overshadowed and overlooked. The success of movies such as Lockdown, I Got The Hook Up, and Hot Boyz led Foolish to be inevitably overshadowed and overlooked.
All you No Limit fans out there may remember back in the late 1990s that there were small advertisements printed in Master P’s albums, C-Murder’s album, and TRU’s 1997 album which implied that movie titled “Tears of a Clown” would be coming soon. The movie Tears of a Clown was said to be starring Master P & Eddie Griffin.


The first advertisements for Tears of a Clown appeared in Master P’s MP Da Last Don album and TRU’s Da Crime Family album. The first advertisement for Tears of a Clown was first shown in TRU’s Da Crime Family album in 1997. The second advertisement for Tears of a Clown appeared in Master P’s MP Da Last Don album in 1998.


However that movie was released under a different name. After extensive researching on Google and bing, The title for movie which starred Master P & Eddie Griffin Tears of a Clown had changed to Foolish which was shown in theaters in 1999. So basically Tears of a Clown was the precursor to Foolish and was released under a different name. That is why there were new advertisements for the movie being titled as Foolish instead of Tears of a Clown in post-1998 No Limit albums.




The South Florida Sun-Sentinel called Tears of a Clown a “low budget-film” Miramax subsidiary Dimension Films would have likely distributed Tears of a Clown since they distributed the comedy movie I Got the Hook-Up. Trimark financed a number of No Limit Flims movies in the 1990s and 2000s.
Master P, Eddie Griffin, and Clifton Powell starred in many of the movies produced by No Limit Films during the 1990s and 2000s. This movie was no exception.

For those who don’t know, Foolish was partially inspired by the Porsha song called Nothing Stays The Same. The soulful song Nothing Stays The Same features production and sultry vocals from label mate O’Dell. Both of them had energy in their vocals. You know the saying, “Nothing stays the same on a lonely road.” Nothing Stays The Same is a powerful song with a strong message. The song served as a beautiful understanding about love. It’s foolish to hide the pain because nothing can shield from the rain. We all know nothing stays the same. So stop holding it in. Don’t play no games.

Nothing Stays The Same was one of the most played music videos of 1999 on BET and was advertised in the Billboard Magazine. Twice in 1999 to be exact. This song was one of No Limit’s greatest R&B/soul hits of 1999.
