Summary: not since waynes world have i laughed so much
Review: I saw this film on TV last night and I came straight here to buy it, I have never seen anything so funny since "waynes world" and "aeroplane" dare i say it? it was better! it is just laughs the whole way through, without those boring serious bits, i have not seen films by these people before, and i had not heard of it before, you dont have to have that knowledge to 'get it'. The whole atmosphere of the film is just brilliant, i found myself laughing aloud to myself just thinking about some of the characters and quotes, and that is a sure fire way of knowing its a great film!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brilliant
Review: i first saw this film on tv but only saw the last 45 minutes of it i saw it again when my friend brought it on DVD i thought it was the funniest film ever. i had seen menace to society and boyz in the hood so i understood the humour. i think you need to see these films to understand it

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very funny
Review: I was looking through the other reviews that people have wrote about this movie today...and after seeing them I decided to write my own. First off all this movie is hysterical, for all the people that gave it one star and say it's only funny if you have a shallow sense of humor are full of it. The movie is just plain funny. As long as you don't take it seriously and just watch it for pure enjoyment, the movie will make you laugh for hours. The Wayans brothers do not make serious movies! Their only intent is to get the audience to chuckle a bit and they definitely succeeded in doing that in making this movie. If you haven't seen it yet, you are missing out!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Totally Hilarious
Review: The film "dont be a menace etc" truely is either a film you love or loathe, I myself am in the latter. Never in my life have I watched a movie and found myself and my friends spend the next few months, (honestly) quoting lines from the movie then sitting around laughing our butts off.
Unless you've got a sense of humour dont watch this film. I first seen the film when it was shown on Sky many years ago, and have spent the best part of the remainding years trying to find a copy...
The movie basically rips to bits such classics as 'boyz in the hood' & 'Menace II Society' et al. So unless you are familiar with at least one of these movies the film should provide you, as me, with laughs which you'll remember for years.
Some people may regard the film as a dig, or an insult to 'black culture' or the getto movies as mentioned earlier. It is'nt, believe me in this day and age we should all be able to understand a simple message, There is no such thing as a class of humour, its either funny or it is'nt. But remember this Don't be a menace...... is without doubt one of the best films I have ever seen. And yes it is miles funnier than scary mmovie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It sucks, but you'll still like it!
Review: First of all, Don't Be a Menace shouldn't really even be called a "movie". Instead its a series of adventures that make fun of hood movies from the 90s decade. Shawn and Marlon Wayans are a great comedy team and Marlon's voice in this movie sounds kind of cooky (like Larenz Tate in Menace II Society)

Truth be told: This is a hilarious movie. Between the Korean store shootings, Keenon Ivory Wayans as the mailman yelling "MESSAGE!" in more than one occasion, and Crazy Legs' dream of being a dancer, you'll laugh your butt off. This movie doesn't have a plot...which is better in some cases and not in others. The only thing you won't like about the movie is that it had a very low budget (it cost more to do the VHS box art), and that the movie is very dark and Loc Dog's voice..... at least that scared me.

Overall, Don't Be a Menace is a hilarious movie. Believe it or not, it's better than "Scary Movie". It sucks as an actual movie, but not as a fan just looking for a good laugh.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I laughed so much I wet my pants (CACKS NOT TROUSERS)
Review: I have only seen this film once when it was screened on BBC2 , and was very disapointed to find out that you cannot purchase this film at all in the uk. This I think is very wrong (ITS JUST NOT CRICKET OLD CHAPS, WHATTO) as us brits would find this tasteless but at the same time delightfully charming.As my title may given away already, I did find this piece of film history mildly amusing, and I demand that anyone who hasn't watched it to do so immediately. Just a quick hello to my neighbours who have just moved to ALABAMA (HI) if you hate this film YOU ARE THE WEAKEST LINK GOODBYE!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Above average comedy
Review: This disgusting but hilarious video should have been a cartoon. It's too long to stay funny throughout the movie and after an hour it gets boring. But still it's worth watching if you want to have a good laugh.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: DON'T BE A MENACE
Review: DON'T BE A MENACE TO SOUTH CENTRAL WHILE DRINKING YOUR JUICE IN THE HOOD is a comic spoof on African-American movies such as "Boyz In The Hood," "Poetic Justice," "Higher Learning," and many others. The movie was written by and stars Shawn Wayans and Marlon Wayans. The film is about a young man named Ashtray who is dropped off in the ghetto to live with his father and from there he gets into many crazy situations with his best friend Loc Dog. I'm tired of people who bash this movie, it's not a movie meant to be taken seriously, it's a movie that was made for pure entertainment. The Wayans Brothers have never really made a bad movie because they always manage to pack enough laughs to hold my attention into there films.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funnest Movie I Have Ever Seen
Review: Dont be a Menace has to be the funnest movie in the whole world. I did not stop laughing the whole movie. There is not any bad parts in the movie. No matter what they did in this movie it was funny. From the start of the movie to Ashtray's granny cussing him out it is so funny. This movie is like a early Scary Movie, because it makes fun of all of the "real black movies". If you want a movie they will make you laugh til you cant laugh anymore, then laugh more, you gotta get this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny movie
Review: The Wayans brothers are hands down the funniest family in show business. This movie basicly showcases the comedic talent that they possess. Just buy it and see. Don't rent it, BUY IT. It is that funny.
