Rating: 2 stars
Summary: What Happened Chris??
Review: This could have been a really funny cult movie but the script wasn't very good. A talented cast with not much to work with.
The Pootie Tang segments from Chris Rock's show were hilarious though. They should have took more time in the writing stage. There were a few real funny moments but overall the film is kinda silly

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: #1 Worst Movie EVER
Review: All I can say is I'm against book burning, but I wouldn't object to seeing this piece of drivel go up in flames. Master reels and all so no one else would ever have to suffer through the lamest lampoon of blaxploitation ever released on humanity. Over dramatic in my description - maybe, but this film makes A Night at the Roxbury look like Academy Award material. That's how bad it is.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Dat movie was poison...
Review: Pootie was tyin' the clow through the whole movie man. Ya' boy Bob Costas was in it to keep it fresh for us white people, and the rest of the cast was keepin' it real. Seriously, most people didn't get the movie, and as a result, really missed out on a movie that puts itself in a catagory with Zoolander, with the added bonus of stripping off all the pop icons so we just see acting, not cameo after cameo.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Ghetto fab farce of several movie genres
Review: Pootie Tang definately has undercurrents of genius. It is no wonder that the mainstream critics failed to "get it." It features an insightful critique of capitalism, over-the-top jokes on the 'hood flick, science fiction, action/adventure, the 60's beach movies and blaxploitation films. It is so intelligently wacky and sets itself within a thoroughly Black cultural context (the use of Roger's "I Wanna Be Your Man" and Bell Biv Devoe's "Poison" was inspired) while not failing to throw in more mainstream pop cultural references. Yes, there are a few parts where it is too much and it lulls a bit in the middle. But the final fight scene (with the always fabulous Wanda Sykes) is hilarious.

I highly recommend it to those who understand the tongue-in-cheek. I'm sure it got great reviews in France (where they understand farce).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pootie Tang
Review: The movie's funny. And it's funny too. What I don't see alot of people commenting on is the obvious joke they're making of street slang and the general absurdity of current hip hop culture. Tying together the running theme of Pootie helping kids to eat right, read, etc. I loved it and for all the right reasons. I like the fact that only sixty of us dug the movie. The rest can keep reciting lines from "Friends". jON

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pootie Tang Is Funny and Stupid I love it!
Review: Hey So check this out, I can't find a single fan web site about Pootie Tang. I have searched every halloweeen costume shop for a Pootie Tang wig and can not find one. Amazon.com seems to be the only website that unites 'us' Pootie Tang Fans. I can't wait for the second Pottie Tang Movie. Chris Rock you Rock! - Peace =)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "My Man, Pootie Tang"
Review: When this movie was first released in theaters, I passed it off as "one of those movies too stupid for intellect". But after seeing it (on cable) I couldn't stop laughing. I've seen Pootie Tang enough to remember the dialouge. The actors in this movie are very serious in their delivery of such crazy material. The dialogue, the editing, the action, the whole movie doesn't take itself too seriously and leaves the laughing to the audience.

Definitely a cult classic!

Best scenes:

Anytime Daddy Tang (Chris Rock) cracks his belt at young Pootie.

Pootie giving a bowl of milk to one of his groupies.

Biggie Shorty (Wanda Sykes) on the corner, gettin her dance on.

Pootie's Crew...and much more.

This movie is a "Must See!"
