Review: This movie is not serious, and if you accept that it can be enjoyed. I will remember sceens from this movie forever...and lines also (just click the quotes link above.) This movie is just one funny satire sceen after another. Definately worth seeing once.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: a very crazy,funny peace of poetic irony
Review: this movie concentrats around the lives of ""ordinary"people living on the hood....the trils and tribulations that each and every one of them faces is just brilliant!!!
dont be a manace is certanly the funniest movie ever produced and stared by a black cast....and the culprits are defnetly the wayans brothers.....they are out of this world....they should have won the oscars for best actors.....
the funniest part of the movie is when the grandmom smokes some ""holly leaves"".....this part makes the movie amazing....
ps:""this movie is all ages......

Review: YHIS MOVIE IS WHAT THEY INTENDED IT TO BE, A PARODY, JUST LIKE SCARY MOVIE AND SCARYMOVIE TWO, WHICH THIS WAS THEIR "BABY", AS EVERTHING ELSE IN LIFE YOU DO "MATURE", SO I THOUGHT IT DID IT'S JOB. DID NOT THE OTHERS FOLLOWING MAKE IT IN COMMERCIALIZATION? HOW MANY ADS DO YOU SEE ON TELEVISION OF BLACK MADE MOVIES, GOING TO THE CINEMA ON SCHEDULED DATES? THINK ABOUT IT? THE MONEY SPEAKS FOR ITSELF............

Summary: A COMEDIC MASTERPIECE
Review: I laughed, I cried, I was moved. The characters in DBAM were profound and deep. Ashtre, the young black man desperately trying to make his life better, and rise up from the harsh realities of the hood. His youthful father doesn't help Tre, who is more immature than his son. A good example of his immaturity is when Dad asks Tre to read him an adult bedtime story while he pleasures himself. Cousin Loc Dogg, whose wild and law breaking ways are harmful to Tre, but is a loyal friend. Preach, the confused black activist with an affinity towards white girls from the trailer park is part of Tre's mini "posse". Crazy Legs, bound to a wheelchair, represents a person who is physically challenged, yet never gives up his dreams of becoming a dancer. Quite inspirational. Dashiki, the golddigging girlfriend of Tre, with her 10+ kids from different fathers, wants to move Tre out of the hood-a good thing, no doubt.....but at her own expense of having a man to depend on. Is Tre ready for such responsibility? The character "Toothpick" teaches children it is wrong to break the law, and Toothpick represents what you will become if you are a law breaker-a positive message, no doubt.

Despite the seriousness of my description, there are some humorous parts of the movie, a good amount poking parody-type fun at other "hood" flicks, i.e. Menace II Soceity (the cheeseburger carrying vagrant is hilarious). How can I forget the cannibus smoking, church going Grandma, who adds some levity to this drama. The Korean grocery store scene represents a real life struggle between the two races, but, taken with a grain of salt, one should find humor in the constant monitoring of Tre and Loc Dogg by the shopkeepers.

I highly recommend this movie for anyone interested in learning about black culture in America, as well as having a good laugh. This movie balances well between the serious side of life in the "hood", as well as throwing in a few proverbial bones for laughter. Please please please rent this DVD or VHS.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another Hit From The Wayans
Review: For y'all who don't know, now you know. This movie will have you laughing for days. It is a parody of Boyz N The Hood. The movie starts off with Tre (Shawn Wayans), a 17-18 year, who is known as Ash Tray, moving into the hood with his father who, if not younger, is about his age. That is where he meets up with his trigger-happy cousin Lo-Dog (Marlon Wayans). This is the beginning of a crazy venture of fantasy hood-life. This movie is very appealing and will have you watching it time and time again. You will not be disappointed upon purchase of this movie.
