Dont Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood
The movie chronicles the exploits of a young black man whose mother returns him to the 'hood to live and learn from his father. Things are crazy there, for example, he is older than his father and his best friend's grandmother is a trigger-happy old lady who blames her eccentric-looking kid for not being tough enough.

There's maybe three or four half-decent chuckles to be found in this otherwise interminable 90-minute mega-chore.
August 30, 2004
A free-for-all comic spoof that brings the 'hood' genre of Hollywood films full circle.
February 05, 2008
Strangely sour and ultimately wearisome.

The thin plot is merely the frame for gags, and there are more a few good ones here.

If you really want to appreciate this film, go see all the hood movies from the 90s - good and bad.
February 05, 2008
Full of very obvious spoofery, and funnier in concept than in execution.
January 01, 2000
Rude, crude and outrageous.

...the Wayans use a sledgehammer to drive in a thumbtack.

[A] pleasant hour and a half.
January 01, 2000
Outrageous is the key word here. In many successful scenes, the Wayans deftly play on our assumptions and cliches.

Laugh yourself stupid....Wayans classic!

Things might be bad, the movie suggests, but they're not so bad you can't laugh.
