To rate the type of movie that you don't normally like watching, with a low rating is crazy. The movie just made the ridiculous so funny, you will watch it over and over! We still laugh when it comes on. So, if you are a comedy fanatic, your score will be higher than those who just wanted to rate the people who made it.

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.

I hate this movie, since the first couple of minutes time went slower and slower. Acting is awful even from Mr. Rock, I don't know has he ever acted good, but not in this movie anyway. Script is the most stupidest I'v ever seen. When I borrowed this movie I thought "Hey this might be some low-brain-activity-movie" but it turned out to be waste-of-my-money-and-never-getting-that-time-back-movie. I hope no one else does this horrible mistake of borrowing or buying this movie. I tell you all, this movie sucks and it doesn't suck in a normal "teenage-comedy" kind a way but a "plain-stupid" kind a way.Thanks a lot Mr. Rock and MTV for wrecking my life.

This movie is so funny i see it every time i get the chance. Pootie tang speaks in the strangest language that makes it kind of fun to try to figure out what he says The girls go crazy for him and the bad guys fear him cause he can whip anyones ass with just his belt. That is just funny as h*ll when a guy dances to funny music and whoops five, six, guys with guns with only his belt.This movie is the funniest movie ever. gotta see. when i first saw this movie i had to tell all my friends about it, i told my brother first and waited until it came out on HBO and told him when it was on so he could watch it, he said, "that movie is stupid" and i admit it, it is a stupid movie but funny as hell, so i told him but it did make you laugh and of course it did it made him laugh a lot, and then i showed it to other friends and it made all of them laugh cause its just that freaking funny
