Most Wanted isn't aiming for social commentary, but it isn't too difficult to enjoy its good-natured humor.
Jamie Kennedy's B-Rad is based on a character from his TV show -- and as the centerpiece for a sketch, he's hilarious. But the B-Rad joke wears thin when stretched across a feature-length film.
Wanted isn't quite the real Slim Shady of hip-hop comedies. But you might lose yourself in a few of its amusing moments.
Think of a B-grade Bulworth with lesser talents than A-listers Warren Beatty and Halle Berry.
Maybe in a half-hour format, the idea would stand up. But in a feature film, B-Rad's schtick seems like a one-note song.
As a star vehicle for Kennedy, Malibu doesn't advance the ball, but the timing could be perfect to grab the eager-for -the-end -of-school crowd.
Dumb movie, but some funny moments for teens.
Ryan O'Neal gets more laughs in a few scenes than Chris Rock managed in all of Head of State.
Jamie Kennedy needs to be stopped.
The movie flirts with incisive, witty segments, but it's ultimately yet another anti-inflammatory comedy about racial identity that devolves into a one-joke affair.
Malibu's Most Wanted absconds with a simplistic but imaginative plot and elevates it beyond the realm of sketch comedy into legitimate cinematic territory - for real, y'all.
Not as inspired as White Boyz.
I laughed during the whole movie...the trick to stupid comedy is earnestness - these guys have that out the wazoo.
The problem with Most Wanted has plagued most of the Saturday Night Live movies. What's funny in a five-minute sketch, may not be funny for an hour and a half.
The funniest part of the movie are the out-takes at the end, but those aren't worth the price of admission, wait for the DVD.
