Dirty Laundry is a 2006 action-comedy film directed by Maurice Jamal. The film stars Rockmond Dunbar as Sheldon, an average Joe who works at a dead-end job and has aspirations of becoming a writer. Sheldon is in a relationship with Tisha (played by Loretta Devine), a strong-willed and opinionated woman who works at a hair salon.
One day, Sheldon and Tisha stumble upon a bag containing one million dollars while out running errands. The bag belongs to a drug-smuggling ring and the duo soon find themselves on the run from the mobsters who want their money back. Along the way, they encounter a colorful cast of characters including a crooked cop, a hitman, and a group of eccentric homeless people.
As Sheldon and Tisha try to figure out what to do with the money, their relationship is put to the test and they must navigate their way through dangerous situations in order to stay alive. The film is a blend of action, comedy, and romance and explores themes of loyalty, trust, and what it means to be in a committed relationship.
Dirty Laundry received mixed reviews from critics but was praised for its engaging performances and fast-paced action sequences. The film was also notable for its all-black cast and crew, with director Maurice Jamal showcasing a variety of talented African-American actors in prominent roles.
