Summary: FUNNY ACTION!
Review: This action comedy is a very good movie to watch. I recommend this movie because Keenen Ivory Wayans acts well as a comedian and action fighter and Jada Pinkett looks and talks so cute in this movie. Salli Richardson (who is also the voice of Elisa Maza in Disney's Gargoyles) is very sexy and deceiving in this film. Certainly one to watch and no doubt one you will enjoy!

Summary: A Low Down Dirty Shame REVIEW
Review: "Beverly Hills Cop" meets "Shaft" with wise-cracking Wayans as a private investigator who must track down his former love interest to bring down a drug dealer he thought he killed many years ago. Jada Pinkett joins the ride as Shame's sassy assistant, Peaches.

Shame has two days to find Angela (the beautiful Salli Richardson), his former fiance who is now working as a federal witness against crime boss, Mendoza (Andrew Divoff). Under the guise of his mentor, Sonny (Charles Dutton) and with the help of his female sidekick, Shame goes back to work with action-packed results.

"Low Down Dirty Shame" is a little bit of everything. Wayans' script provides action, comedy, and a little bit of romance into a nice homage to 70's black action pics. The cast in "Low Down" does its job and does it well. Wayans has fun playing the hero as he bungee-dives out of an exploding sporting goods store, uses James Brown routines to thwart a group of attacking guard dogs, and leads a Coloumbian nemesis through a KKK convention. Pinkett is surprisingly good as the comedy sidekick. What can one say about Salli Richardson? Well, let's just say her performance is very, very easy on the eyes. The concluding cat fight with her and Pinkett is a nice touch.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Another of my favorites
Review: Keenan plays a down and out PI named Shame, with his wanna be PI Assistant Peaches (played by Jada Pinkett). Shame finds out the love of his life is back in town and does what he can to save her. Peaches wants Shame to notice her, and does everything to get him to do so. The movie is fun, filled with action, and will have you laughing in some parts. I Love this movie!!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Average but mildly amusing time killer.
Review: Amusing comedy homage to blacksploitation films, should collapse under its own premise but doesn't. Due largely to the chemistry between the cast, and the comic skills of the elder Wayans the film actually allows you to sit through it. Throw in a sassy Jada Pinkett and whoever that Pochohontas chick is and it's at least watchable. Convoluted plot has Wayans as an ex-cop who has a chance for redemption by taking down a drug lord and a bad cop, the guy from Roc. 20 million dollars of the drug lords money being stolen by Keenan's ex, blah blah blah. Not a lot of laugh out loud type moments, but a few smirkers despite Jada's constant head and finger wagging.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: i'd love to sing James Brown to one of my dogs
Review: Ivory Wayans is Shame and he runs a buisness with his assistant Peaches(Jada Pinkett Smith) and they get a case from an old friend(Charles S. Dutton) about one of Shame's ex-girlfriends..so Shame hunts her down and takes her into his custody...also Shame is dealing with some badass mexican guy(Andrew Divoff) and he has to bobble both at the same time..wih some funny ass moments..remember the gay guy when Wayans comes into the club and the other gay guy comes up to him and it all files into this whole thing about gays..funny...and when Wayans starts to dance and sing James Brown to the dogs..great

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A really fun movie. I've watched it over a dozen times
Review: A Low Down Dirty Shame is a great movie that pays homage to the blaxploitation films of the 70's. Keenan Ivory Wayans does a great job of mixing action and humor in this cool detective story about a PI looking for $20 million in stolen drug money. The supporting cast is very good here; Jada Pinkett and Salli Richardson aren't just eye candy, they give good performances too. However the only fault is with the film is Charles S. Dutton who overacts as usual. ALDDS is a great popcorn movie that will leave you smiling. Definitely buy it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny, Funny, Funny..........oh yeah and some action
Review: for any lover of comedy and action, this is the movie u must see. Jada is sassy, and Keenen is a scream. both combine and some crooked friend with the mod to handle.....equals fun!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love this movie!!!
Review: I can't say enough about this movie. It makes me laugh each and everytime I watch it. Keenan, Charles, Jada, and the rest, are all hilarious. My only wish was that they would have given the "Waymon" character a larger role. He was just too cute, too real, and funny as well. I give this movie a thumbs up. It may not float everyone elses boat, but it has my vote. And with all the seriousness going on in this world, when I want to just relax with some goofy folks and get a good laugh, this does the job.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Guilty Pleasure, But A Pleasure Nonetheless!
Review: No, this probably would not have cleaned up at the Oscars, but it certainly goes a long way in proving that Keenan Ivory Wayans is no one trick pony (ie; making, tired 70's blaxploitation flicks) and can turn in a polished, entertaining, fast-paced, funny and interesting action flick. The acting is wonderfully cheesy (except for the annoying, bull-like, Step'n'Fetchit antics of Charles S. Dutton who overacts ALL the time) and the pace is lighthearted from start to finish. Jada Pinkett flexes her comedic skills considerably here as the ghettofied Peaches and is one of the most endearing 'wacky sidekicks' in recent cinematic history. Now, on to the guilty pleasures part; my favorite sequence involves, you guessed it, the gorgeous Salli Richardson. Mr. Wayans gives her the greatest entry scene of any actress EVER! As she steps out of a cab in slow motion, tossing her hair and cooly placing sunglasses on her face, soft and sensuous jazz plays over the scene and the camera [shows] her from head to toe. We are then treated to the sight of her walking seductively to the entrance of a chic boutique while WEARING THE [HECK] out of a form-fitting, revealing dark dress. Brief though it may be, this scene alone makes the movie worth owning! "A Low Down Dirty Shame" is perfect viewing for a Saturday night with friends, or alone. It won't alter your view of modern cinema, but it does what a good movie should do: entertain and make you forget about your troubles, and on that level it succeeds quite nicely.

Rating: 4 stars
