Partly scripted by Nelson George, the premier authority on hip hop, the film is not without moments of insight, and there are certainly enough gross-out gags to keep you watching. Full Review |

 |
Torn between celebration and sendup, CB4 misses its big target as often as it hits. Full Review |

1/4 |
CB4 just isn't too funny, and one gets the feeling that the filmmakers themselves lacked the resolve or coherence of vision to mock rap in any effective fashion. Full Review |

In parts it is hugely, monstrously funny. Full Review |

One of the first movies to parody gangsta rap, it does so knowingly and affectionately.

Resolutely lame in all the wrong places, CB4 is nowhere near the witty satire it purports to be. Full Review |

3.5/5 |
A fast-paced and frequently hilarious spoof of the old-school rap world.

|
1.5/4 |
Though CB4 starts out as a fairly amusing rap variation of This is Spinal Tap! it quickly sinks into a raunchy, sexist series of off-the-wall gags that go nowhere. Full Review |

If your mood is loose and profane, if you speak hip-hop (or you just like hearing it) and if you think Rock is funny (he is), you'll be glad you checked this out. Full Review |

|
|
There's an unexpected innocence mixed in here that helps to blunt the pointed raunchiness (and political incorrectness) of the subject. Full Review |

|
2/4 |
As a series of ocasionally-amusing vignettes, CB4 is is fitfully entertaining. However, when everything is tied together into a cohesive whole, this movie is a colossal mess. Full Review |
