This movie gets no respect even from it's own writers and actors! That's OK. I really like this movie. And listen, I watch movies that movie snobs/nerds would really go for: from Big Lebowski to Cool Hand Luke, back around to Chinatown, Vertigo or Superman 2. I have Netflix, people! NETFLIX!I own the DVD and have actually watched it over and over. It's very short. It's good for parties. It's super silly in a way that you would expect from Louis C.K., Chris Rock, Dave Atell and David Cross. It's just some weird, stupid take on a Blaxploitation movie. I'll admit: it MAY not be your thing, and that's AOK. But I really like this movie.

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.
