If you really want to appreciate this film, go see all the hood movies from the 90s - good and bad.

Rude, crude and outrageous.

Things might be bad, the movie suggests, but they're not so bad you can't laugh.
February 05, 2008
Full of very obvious spoofery, and funnier in concept than in execution.

Outrageous is the key word here. In many successful scenes, the Wayans deftly play on our assumptions and cliches.

The thin plot is merely the frame for gags, and there are more a few good ones here.

Laugh yourself stupid....Wayans classic!

There's maybe three or four half-decent chuckles to be found in this otherwise interminable 90-minute mega-chore.

...the Wayans use a sledgehammer to drive in a thumbtack.

[A] pleasant hour and a half.
August 30, 2004
A free-for-all comic spoof that brings the 'hood' genre of Hollywood films full circle.
February 05, 2008
Strangely sour and ultimately wearisome.
