Summary: 2.5 Stars: I like Jamie Kennedy...but...
Review: ...this movie wasn't that great. Sure, there were some funny moments, but for the most part, it just kind of fell flat.For those of you who don't currently attend high school or college, let me explain for you what a "wigger" is. A wigger is basically a white guy who acts black, which is Kennedy's character. And most of the time, just like Kennedy's character, they're spoiled and rich. Trust me: they are UNBELIEVABLY annoying. So when I heard about the whole movie, I knew I had to go see it. I figured, lots of wigger jokes, and I get to see how one would REALLY react when placed in the REAL "hood": cry and beg for mercy. And yes, I did get that for about 15-20 minutes. But then it started to gradually evolve to "hey, wiggers can be tough thugs too!" WHAT!?! As for the movie itself, it certainly wasn't horrible, it just wasn't that great. Sure, a few chuckles here and there, but nothing in the way of comic genius. All in all, Jamie Kennedy is a funny guy, I watch his show and he's a great prankster. But if this movie is any indication on his acting skills, he should just stick to pranking people. Or work on his movie skills. Whichever suits him best. Time to click "Not Helpful"!

Summary: DON'T BE HATIN!
Review: A WANNABE WHITE RAPPER [JAMIE KENNEDY] GETS KIDNAPPED BY A COUPLE OF THUGS. UNBEKNOWNST TO HIM, THESE ''THUGS'' ARE REALLY ACTORS AND THE WHOLE KIDNAPPING IS JUST A SCHEME THAT WAS PLANNED BY HIS FATHER. VERY FUNNY AND VERY CLEVER. THE CLUB SCENE IN WHICH JAMIE KENNEDY TRYS TO BATTLE A RAPPER IS DOWNRIGHT HILLARIOUS. IF YOU WANNA SEE A COMEDY THAT'S REALLY FUNNY, THEN CHECK THIS OUT. LIKE HE SAID, DON'T BE HATIN!

Summary: Surprisingly funny
Review: Although filled with every possible word that ends with "izzel", Malibu's Most Wanted has some funny stuff. Although some sarcastic jokes fall flat on paper (Brad's multi-million dollar house is shown, and he says "I know it ain't much, but its all I've got"), Jamie Kennedy's deliver more than makes up for it. I liked the pringle part, and I don't know why the hot dog and the bun line from the tv commercials was taken out. Hopefully it will be somewhere on the dvd. I also hope the dvd also has the marvelous Coors television commercial ("You oughta see the ice in my cooler; you'd think I was a jewler!"). When he embarassed his dad with his signs at the beginning of the film, it reminded me of the film Black Sheep (a decent film). At the end with everyone tearing down the guys house by driving inside, and the weapon thing is just ridiculous, this film was surprisingly good. I've never seen Jamie Kennedy's WB tv show, and I hear it's not as good as this, but I would see it. I definatley recommend it; it's very entertaining. It gets bumped to 4 stars because its a little repetitive, and doesnt have much class, but I will still rent the dvd (and possibly buy it). Peoria, Az, it is not the best movie ever, but it is one of the most entertaining films I have ssen recently. Thank you for taking the time to read my review and feel free to leave me a helpful/not helpful feedback. God Bless America!

Summary: Malibu's Most Wanted
Review: Brad Gluckman (Jamie Kennedy) is a wannabe gangsta (his nickname is `B-Rad`) from the notorious hood of Malibu, CA. B-Rad's father, Bill (Ryan O'Neal) is running for governor, and doesn't want his son to appear with him on the front pages of the papers. Bill's staff hatches a plan to get two classically trained African-American actors (Taye Diggs and Anthony Anderson) to pose as gangstas to try and scare the hood out of B-Rad. Trouble is, B-Rad doesn't understand that the situation is a sham, and attempts to prove his street cred as they make their way through Los Angeles's more notorious suburbs. The marketing won't say it, but `Malibu's Most Wanted' comes from a character Kennedy plays on his poorly rated, but uproarious hidden camera show on the WB, `The Jamie Kennedy Experiment' (or `JKX' for short). I think there are about 10 of us out there who've seen Kennedy run through this B-Rad shtick before, and it was always a highlight on the show. However, `Malibu' puts B-Rad out there front and center for 90 minutes of silver screen time, threatening to take this funny character miles away from entertaining. Thankfully, `Malibu' complements the character more than tires him out. The film isn't exactly on the pulse of today's satire (Sacha Baron Cohen, with his flat-out brilliant white boy gangsta character `Ali G,' has beaten B-Rad to the punch by a couple of years), but Kennedy and his screenwriters (including hysterical stand-up comedian Nick Swardson, who also appears in the film as one of B-Rad's posse) still find ways to send up the current street-hop nation, all the while keeping the proceedings delightfully silly and buoyant. The production gets a lot of mileage out of B-Rad's gangsta style, even going so far as to try and implement a new catchphrase with `Don't Be Hatin'.' B-Rad's adventures also take him to a Korean grocery store, a rap battle straight from the set of `8 Mile,' and a run in with a rat that sound surprisingly like Snoop Dogg. The material has fun with the intermixing cultures theme, and never degenerates into distinctly hateful stereotypes like `Bringing Down The House' did. Though it won't win any NAACP awards, `Malibu' is a nice forward thrust toward the played-out gangsta/mall-kid culture that too many suburban kids subscribe to. Since he's lived with the character for a couple of years now, Jamie Kennedy has the B-Rad moves down in every detail. This is a terribly funny performance, with Kennedy playing up B-Rad's blissful ignorance of how his privileged upbringing directly interferes with his urban dreams. It goes beyond simple caricature, with Kennedy avoiding making B-Rad into the butt of every joke. Counter Kennedy's performance with that of Taye Diggs and Anthony Anderson. As the two `wanksters,' the actors couldn't be more out of their realm. They try far too hard to make their material funny, and they lay on the `we are classically trained!' horn a little too long. Every time the film features these two actors, you can see it trying to be a comedy. But with Jamie Kennedy, the effort isn't nearly as noticeable. You don't have to be a fan of `JKX' to fully enjoy `Malibu's Most Wanted.' This is appealing satire, and it hits almost all the right notes.

Summary: Mostly funny
Review: Clearly, you don't go into a movie like "Malibu's Most Wanted" expecting to have your life changed or, you know, think. If you do, you'll probably be disappointed. But if you go into it looking for a light-hearted comedy that will make you laugh a number of times, you're in for a treat. Jamie Kennedy shows off his comedic chops playing the role of Brad "B-RAD" Gluckman, the son of a senatorial candidate who dreams of being a rapper and acts like he is. Anthony Anderson and Taye Diggs are able sidekicks to Kennedy, playing actors who assume the role of street thugs in order to scare B-RAD white. Surprisingly intelligent and mostly entertaining, "Malibu's Most Wanted" is recommended for people who are fans of Jamie Kennedy or simply enjoy comedy.

Summary: Just Shows How Stupid All You Wanksters Are!!!
Review: I agree 100% on this terrific film. Yeah I like comedys, but the real reason I like it is because it makes all the stupid fags like Eminem that want to be black look stupid. You know when you'r driving down the street and you see 2 white guys wearing FUBU and talking all that slang, well now you just can say "ha what stupid retards just like the guy in that movie". The movie I think has a great story, and mediocre acting, the jokes are funny and it is off the hizzle. Just so you know I am not racist I have plenty of black friends, the only people I have a problom with are those stupid posers. If you'r one of those people watch this movie, maybe you'll see how people look at you and stop posing.

Summary: Not His Forte.
Review: I can't get enough of JKX. Kennedy's ability to assume a character is not only astounding, but hilarious. And for me, it's his moving from character to character that really sets him apart. This movie however, locks him into one character for 90 minutes or so, and doesn't let Jamie do what Jamie does best. In fact, for as much as I love him in JKX, his role as B-Rad gets stale quick, and the majority of the fun comes from the supporting cast. It's a reasonably funny flick, but not a keeper, i.e. rent, don't buy.

Summary: Terribly Flawed!
Review: I can't say I liked this film very much. I don't know what the current zeitgeist in Hollywood is but there seems to be a proliferation of god-awful comedies featuring white suburbanites acting like inner city urbanized black "gangstas" but it's pretty sicking and not very funny. I tried to give this film a chance however and critique it on it's merit. It had only a few gags that get you laughing but they weren't enough to save this film from so much shlock. ... I invite you to see it yourself. You may like it, but then again some people like getting kicked in the groin every so often. Do yourself a favor SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!

Summary: This was sooo stupid but soooo funny
Review: I love Jamie Kennedy. I like his hidden camera show so I thought I would give this a try. On the surface this is a very dumb movie. On the other hand if you are in it just for laughs then its hilarious. Its about a rich white boy from Malibu that gets himself into some sticky situations when he gets out into the real "streets".
