Very well executed

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

The first time I watched it I didn't quite hate it but I didn't love it. It wasn't until recent that I have realized it the greatest movie. Dre and Snoop are perfect at playing 2 roommates with a multitude of problems. Dre is the protagonist as he transforms from a broke fool with a boot on his car to the manager of the car wash.Snoop is the typical antagonist. He is set in his ways as the neighborhood tree store. He has his rent money. He sets Dre up with the job but then quickly notices Dre's new behavior. He subconsciously believes Dre has turned on him because of his new found authority.This movie is of Shakespeare quality. The acting is superb and I love the cameos. Anyone who is anyone is in it. Bring me my chips, with dip, cause you delinquent!

George Wallace couldn't have done this better! i have this feeling if he had declined the role, John Witherspoon would have been okay! anyway, George Wallace's portrayal of Mr Wash was such that he strikes you as this stubborn 'i only answer to me ' kinda guy. He has a gun and is not afraid to use it, neither is ashamed of it. we see this attitude when Sean first speaks to Mr Wash and we also see it when Slim and Face are driven away by Mr Wash. the rest of the cast is still very good e.g. Bear and Jimmy, Cash Money and Lil Dee, Sean and Dee-Loc, Antinette and Slim and Face. Slim, Face and Mr Wash also made a perfect class act! 10 stars!! Other highlights are when Mr Wash threatens to fire Bear for putting wax on the gas pedal, when Slim makes the second threatening call and Mr Wash shouts 'you son of a bitch!!'

DJ Pooh ought to be ashamed of himself writing this debacle. And all involved should be embarrassed for signing on to do it. I know this isn't a remake of the Michael Schultz original. It better not be. Even the scenic similarities make this movie worse than it would have been as a stand alone film. But given how good "Car Wash" is, no one should have greenlighted "The Wash" if they had any decency or integrity for what good comedy is. I would have even been happier with a scene-for-scene remake over the story that "The Wash" uses. It would have been very interesting to see how the new faces would have played characters like T.C. and Abdullah. But perhaps that was too much to ask. I don't fault DJ Pooh for wanting to do something fresh and new with a throwback concept, but this effort is ridiculous. And to the people who see this as a good "black" comedy, please get a better sense of what that means. Good "black" comedy should follow the same quality guidelines as a good "white" one. Thinking otherwise does a disservice to viewers and the entire film industry. Unfortunately, there are many in control who don't care what idiots movies like "The Wash" and "Soul Plane" make black people out to be. Just something to think about. Shame on "The Wash."

CONTAINS SPOILERS!! I must admit, I laughed twice in the 90 minutes I was in the theater. That breaks down to one laugh every 45 minutes. At $8.25 a ticket each laugh had a cost of about $4. Factor in that when I wasn't laughing I was insulted by the ridiculous storyline and I think you will agree that I paid too much for those two laughs.The plot, (which I believe they wrote as they went along) was missing one very key element: LOGIC. It made absolutely no sense!! There were too many characters, the majority of whom contributed nothing to the story. There seemed to be no discrimination by the casting department as to who would make a cameo appearance in this film. Apparently, they didn't have to be funny, just willing. (C'mon Shaq, you had nothing better to do?)Sean (Dr. Dre) was an unemployed loser who obtained an Assistant Manager position at Mr. Washington's (George Wallace) car wash where anarchy reigned. His least favorite employee, Dee Loc (Snoop Doggy Dogg) kept his own liberal work schedule, had sex on the job, sold drugs on the job, and stole from his employer. In addition to Dee Loc there was C-Money and L'il Dee who stole money out of cars, and of course we can't forget the token Hispanic and ex-con. At the beginning of the film, Snoop made the comment that the white man didn't care about the black man. As if the white man was the reason this group of losers existed.So what's this movie about? That's what I asked myself up until the last 20 minutes of the movie. The owner of the carwash, (Wallace) is kidnapped by two bumbling criminals, one of whom Slim, (DJ Pooh) provided my second laugh. The kidnappers ask Sean to get the ransom money. That's when Dee Loc saves the day with a scheme worthy of Goldie the Mack himself.Let's talk about the acting. In Snoop's case I'll call it reenacting, because he seems to play the same guy in every film. Ironically the same guy he plays in all of his interviews as well. I hate to quote Ice Cube but, `Yo Dre stick to producing.' An actor, you ain't. I think it is sad when the St. Ides spokesman (DJ Pooh) is the best character actor in a film.I can't even recommend this as Blockbuster pick because $2.00 a laugh is still too much in my opinion.Dre, the next time you want to make a film….don't.
