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

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

Rude, crude and outrageous.

Laugh yourself stupid....Wayans classic!
January 01, 2000
Outrageous is the key word here. In many successful scenes, the Wayans deftly play on our assumptions and cliches.
August 30, 2004
A free-for-all comic spoof that brings the 'hood' genre of Hollywood films full circle.

Strangely sour and ultimately wearisome.

Things might be bad, the movie suggests, but they're not so bad you can't laugh.

[A] pleasant hour and a half.

Full of very obvious spoofery, and funnier in concept than in execution.

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