Summary: POOTIE TANG IS A MASTERPIECE
Review: This movie is hands down the funniest movie to come out in YEARS. In times when comedy can barely steer clear of pop culture, laugh tracks, and hideously unfunny actors, Pootie Tang has arrived with such genuine greatness, it should be bowed down to and worshiped. Anyone who thinks this movie is highly unfunny, which seems to be the majority of reviews, simple did not GET the movie. It is ingenious to say the least, spoofing, but at the same gloriously becoming a blaxplotation film. This movie combines absurd humor, intelligence, surprisingly a good message with just enough soul to compose a symphony of comedic glory. The movie absolutely does not conform to easy accessible one liner jokes that most modern films do. Instead, it relies on the audience's intelligence to accept the gloriously hysterical hyperrealistic world it creates. BUY THIS MOVIE. If you didn't think it was funny, you didn't understand or deserve to see it. 10 stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Summary: Down with the damies!
Review: I laughed so hard when I went to see this movie. I could wait for the DVD even before I got out of the theatre. This movie had me crying all the way through. (TEARS OF LAUGHTER) This is just the sort of off-beat humor that movies these days are lacking. Instead of a paint-by-the-numbers comedy this movie takes a new approach to humor. If you only laugh at shows with laugh-tracks or around big groups of people, then don't waste you time. But, if you're like me, and can find humor in all sorts of daily activities, then you will find this amazingly funny! Holla at your boy!

Summary: A Zany Retelling of Samson and Delilah
Review: Don't let the title lead you astray! This is NOT one of those gross-out sex movies that are all the rage at the metroplex. In fact, the title is the only offensive thing about the whole picture!

I went into this movie thinking it was going to be one of those "so bad it's good" movies. So you can imagine my surprise when I started laughing and couldn't stop until the final scene of the movie. It's nonsense. It's a joyful, daffy comedy. I mean, can you resist a movie with lines like, "Nobody could ever understand what Pootie was saying, but man, he sure was cool"? The characters and situations are over the top, but the actors are 100% committed to line after ridiculous line that it SOARS. It's one of those comedies that makes you think, "Why don't they make em like this anymore?"

The REAL star of this show, however, is Wanda Sykes who plays Pootie's gal Biggie Shorty, who "dresses up all nice and dances on the street next to a buncha ho's" (but that doesn't mean she's hookin'). She walks away with the whole picture. Chris Rock gives her some tough competition as a radio DJ and as Pootie's father, as does Jennifer Coolidge who plays the super-ho Ireenie, but in the end, Biggie Shorty is the star.

I'm speechless. This is one of my favorite movies of all time. And this coming from a guy whose favorite movies are CITIZEN KANE and CASABLANCA.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: How to tell if you will like Pootie
Review: This movie is so funny. I will buy it the day it comes out on DVD. Here's how to tell if you will like it:

If you would describe yourself or your sense of humor as "normal," do not bother seeing this movie.

Otherwise, enjoy. Just looking at Pootie Tang is enough to make you laugh. All the characters are larger than life (Dirty Dee, Biggie Shorty, Froggy, Trucky, Robert Vaughn) and each scene is more ridiculous than the last.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sa-Da-Tay!
Review: This movie was the best comedy I've seen in a long time. Chris Rock and Lance Croutcher crack me up till no end. Even though this movie is less than an hour and a half, each minute is pure gold. Everyone support everything that is POOTIE and buy this DVD Nov.27th!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: First runner up- What's the Worst that Could Happen?.
Review: ...

Chris Rock's ... "Pootie Tang" is the worst movie of the summer being it had no real plot, or acting, or humor. ... The title of the film explains what the movie, itself, is. Without going any further, let's just say that this film is probably one of the dumbest movies in a long time! Don't waste your money, or your valuable time!
