Summary: Sign Yo Piddy On the Runny-Kind!
Review: Pootie tang has got to be one of THE BEST comedies I have ever seen in my life! It contains a kind of humour that most people find hilarious, while others just don't understand. From parts about Daddy Tang being fatally wounded at work ("and only their third gorilla related fatallity") to the #1 hit entitled ____ ("turn that noise down") to feeding a crazed fan milk out of a bowl (believe me, you just gotta see it to get it!). Definetely the "longest movies clip I've ever seen," but also probably one of the shortes "full length feature film(s)" I've ever seen, just over 75 minutes long. But hey, that just means you can watch more times! Sa-Da-Tay!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: So Funny!!! Must See
Review: This movie was one of the funniest I have seen in a LONG time. It is so original, creative and wacky with it's humor it deserves better reviews than it got by critics. Believe me, if you are tired of the same old jokes you see on SNL and sitcoms, this is the movie for you. It was like a black version of Austin Powers, only a little wackier, and it takes itself much less seriously. A must see for people with an off-beat sense of humor.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not a good movie, not even when ur high
Review: I watched this movie twice, once when I was high. For a movie that is supposed to be hilarious, I didn't find it that funny either time. My friends and I had to stop it halfway through each time because we were completely bored, although I found "Whatatah" somewhat funny. Other than that, this was one of THE dumbest movies out there to be watched. Stay away from this movie!

Rating: 4 stars

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Another SNL character goes to the movies
Review: Either Pootie Tang is way too hip for me, or it's one of the worst movies of the year. Since I keep up fairly well with current trends, I suspect it's the movie, not me, that's at fault. This mess is based on a character who has been regularly featured on HBO's The Chris Rock Show. There's always a risk when the subject of a series of TV skits is turned into a full-length feature film because what's funny for a few minutes can grow tiresome if it runs too long. I think Pootie Tang's producers, which include Mr. Rock, must have found this out. Excluding the credits, this bomb runs just one hour and ten minutes. It looks as if either no one bothered to film some key sequences or some of the footage was so bad it got cut. Either way the story line gets lost along the way. And so does the viewer.

Pootie Tang [Lance Crouther] is a young black guy who speaks an indecipherable language. Still, everyone falls all over him because he's so hip and cool. Women are especially effected. Pootie's language problem is the best part of the character. It's a spoof of the way street talk seems to change from week to week. If only the rest of the jokes had been half as funny.

Pootie is a good guy who's fighting a giant corporation that gets kids hooked on cigarettes, alcohol and junk food. The company uses their best weapon, the sexy Ireenie [Jennifer Coolidge] to trick Pootie into signing a contract forcing him to endorse its products. The rest of the plot? Well, there isn't any.

I am not saying that the people involved are without talent. Crouther is a likable performer and has shown in the past that he can be quite funny. Ditto Chris Rock, whose production company was behind this movie. Maybe Rock, like many before him, is discovering that success in front of the camera does not insure success behind it. Or maybe he hasn't found the right vehicle. Pootie Tang has parts of it that work, but they do not add up to a whole movie. In most cases, trying to expand a skit too much has about as much chance of succeeding as taking a pop song and making it ninety minutes long. It doesn't work because there is not enough to the central idea to justify expanding it.

Rating: 3 stars

Summary: God forgive humanity for making this kind of [Movie]!!!
Review: This is the first movie in my 27 years of life (and believe me that I have watched thousends of movies), that I turned off the DVD Player after 30 minutes(I really don't know how did I made it that far) and started kicking myself for buying this movie. Is not funny, the story is plain BAD and don't get me started with the acting(What acting?Theres none!!!)
I guess Chris Rock wanted money without throwing any, because this movie have less budget than a Troma movie and is ten times worse.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What a movie!
Review: I was first introduced to Pooty on the Chris Rock show, and thank you G-d! I won't lie--Pooty Tang is by far one of the funniest movies I have ever seen...and this is both blazed and not-blazed! Definitely a cult classic---enjoy.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Pootie Tang is ...
Review: This has to be one of the most stupidest movies I have ever seen in my life. There is not really a plot. There is nothing complex about this movie. It's like a SNL wanna be character made movie. I rated higher than a one because of the sdtrk and some spots were funny about 2-3. Through the entire movie I kept saying, "Why did you waste you money on garbage."

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: I tried to like this...
Review: this movie didn't start out too bad. i thought it would be one of those stupid, but fun movies. i was wrong. while pootie tang is a loveable character, you won't be missing much by passing this movie over. i found myself wishing the movie would end sooner. check this out only if you want to REALLY waste about an hour and a half. on the other hand, chris rock is pretty funny in this movie, as always. check out down to earth if you want chris rock though.
