Good movie but grossly overrated
Fresh and Exciting
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Is put Space Jam and this in a canon and shoot em into the sun
This is my latest pick for worst film ever made. Congratulations to C.K. for convincing anyone to make this let alone letting him direct. Hollywood is in a sad state of confusion regarding what is funny or commercial. They have always been out of touch with minorities and this proves it. I just saw part of it and it is unwatchable. To think all these talented actors participated and embarrassed themselves with the worst acting possible. The director ultimately has to take the blame. I feel sorry for anyone who wasted $8 and 3 hours going to the movies to see this. It's a wonder that Louis CK has any career left as this would usually sink it. This gives hope to all the real filmmakers who can actually write and direct. This film gives me hope that I will succeed in creating a film worth watching, entertaining and meaningful. Even the outtakes during credits are boring.
The film started off pretty hilarious, but it got annoying over time constantly hearing pootie speak. Perhaps the creators thought that the same shtick run over and over would keep getting laughs, but I tend to think comedy needs variety and spontaneity. The PSA's done by Pootie were pretty funny I thought.This film got a 3 because of the redundancy of the humour and the fact that it was shown too many times on cinemax last summer. It's a movie to see just to say you've seen it, but it will be forgotten over time for certain. It's in a league of quickly forgotten movies such as CB-4, They Live, and Brotherhood of Justice.
Everyone loves a film which is so bad it's good. However, I have to say - somewhat predictably - this film is just plain bad. I usually like these kind of ridiculous comedies. For example Hollywood Shuffle and I'm Gonna Git You Sucka are both classics in my mind. However, like someone else said on this forum, Pootie Tang really only has one joke and it isn't funny. Throughout the film Pootie speaks in a nonsense language which is because he's too cool for words. Mmmmm... how very funny.I think there was one thing that made me laugh, but to be honest I can't even remember what it was. This film was just a massive disappointment. Controversial as it may be to say this, Chris Rock is rubbish. He seems to have become a parody of himself. I used to think he was great but now I'd prefer to watch Chris Tucker and dare I say it, Martin Lawrence.
