Top CriticA bona fide cult object in the making.

Top CriticA pretty inspired and consistently witty satirical skewering of three decade's worth of macho black pop cultural clichés.
07/02/01
Top CriticMostly an amusing exercise in black vernacular, searching for a point.

Top CriticIt would've made a great 30-minute comic short. Most of the film is padding.
07/02/01
Top CriticThis astonishingly unfunny Paramount comedy is burdened with writing, direction and acting that would cause Ed Wood to wince.
07/02/01
Top CriticThe rule is pretty simple: The thinner the skit, the thinner the big-screen spin-off.
07/02/01
Top CriticThe material it does pull off is daring and sharp.
07/02/01
Top CriticA two-minute character-based skit ... stretched to a mind-boggling 82 minutes.
06/29/01
Top CriticIts calculated crudity and sledgehammer gags offer the same ephemeral pleasures one gets when heckling a campy blaxploitation thriller.
06/29/01
Top CriticAkin to watching a random collection of deleted scenes from a misconceived movie that should never have darkened the inside of a theater in the first place.
06/29/01
Top CriticAs a big-screen vamp on the cable sketch, it plays itself out long before 'The End' crawls into view.
06/29/01
Top CriticFunny as the joke may be, it's still only one joke.
06/29/01
Top CriticNot bad so much as inexplicable. You watch in puzzlement.
06/29/01
Top CriticThe movie's comic powers are often marred by silliness and stereotypes.
06/29/01
Top CriticAs brilliant as Rock can be, this material is a reflection of his shallow, moralistic side.
06/28/01
Top CriticSucceeds as a laugh getter because of the spot-on satirical notes.
06/28/01
Top CriticWorse than a below-average sketch-to-screen Saturday Night Live film.
06/28/01
Top CriticCheaply made stuff, patently stupid and, most of the time, a pure pleasure to watch.
