Summary: Extremely funny!
Review: Don't Be A Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood os one of the funniest as far as the Wayans spoof comedies go and I'll put it to the table that it's one of the best comedies I've ever seen. You can see that the Wayans really wanted to shed some light on the violent "hood" movies of the early to mid 90's and they did it very well.

Honestly, every hood movie was made fun of in this movie. Boyz in the Hood, Menace II Society, Juice, Friday, Poetic Justice, Higher Learning you name it, they made fun of it. And let's not leave out that they also made fun of how society depicts the inner city. But even so, it was still done in good taste and truly at no one's expense (so really, lighten up. It's just a movie).

Marlon Wayans really came into his own in this one. He really showed his true comedic and acting abilities in this and made sure that every moment in this movie had a laugh in every scene. This was the starting point and the staple of how bad they were going to make fun of other movies (IE Scary Movie and Scary Movie 2).

This is a must for people who love spoof comedy and comedy in general because no matter what, you will laugh through the entire movie. If you're looking for other spoof movies or anything of that nature, also check out CB-4 and the spoof of it FEAR OF A BLACK HAT. And of course, SCARY MOVIE and SCARY MOVIE 2. And if you still want more, how about FRIDAY and NEXT FRIDAY? I'm sure out of all of these suggestions, you'll be able to fund something that you like along with Don't Be A Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood.

Summary: One of those stupid funny movies you either love or hate
Review: There are a few conditions required for "getting" this movie. You have to understand a few things before getting the jokes. Probably the most important thing is that you've seen Boys 'N The Hood and/or Menace II Society. These two movies contain the majority of the spoofs seen in Don't Be A Menace... There are also references to Poetic Justice, Juice, and Higher Learning. Without having seen the first two, most people will probably not get the jokes. Secondly, if you're into the hip hop culture, this movie will be a lot funnier. There's a lot of play on words from the rap lingo that you won't get if you haven't listened to it.

I really enjoyed this movie. It's a hilarious spoof of gangsta movies and gangsta rap. Keenan Ivory Wayans' cameos were hilarious. Shawn and Marlon make a great comedy team. It's just too bad they don't get more exposure (they're TV show on WB is hilarious, too). It's all tongue in cheek fun pointed at the harsher looks at inner city life that we get from movies and music.

If you're one of those people that hates movies like Naked Gun, Airplane, and Spaceballs, this movie is definitely not for you. Otherwise, pick it up and try not to fall off the couch :)

Summary: Do we have a problem!!!
Review: One of the funniest movies, I have ever seen, if you haven't seen this movie yet go out and rent it or buy it. Loc dog is halirous, hes disrespectful to women and everyone else in general. A movie is always good when there is a grandma in it that smokes weed, drives a low rider, swears contsantly and break dances.

The best part of the movie is the convinece store scene, that will never get old. Seriously, if you like comedy even just a little bit, you owe it to yourself to see this movie again and again.

Summary: Now that's what I call FUNNY
Review: This is like one of the funniest movies ever made so if u haven't seen it your truly been missing out on the goods.

I haven't seen it in years becouse I accidentally recorded over it, Man was I upset after that.

Even now I can't belive that the makers of the really wack movies SCARY MOVIE 1 & 2 are responsible for this classic, or the other way around.

Go See , Go See!

Review: `Don't Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood' is an hilarious take on all the hood type movies and surprising it does come off really funny. Just as funny as `Friday' and such movies. Brothers, Marlon and Shawn Wayans, don't have any problem making fun of the typical ghetto life that a lot of Afro-Americans might have to experience. The thought of this might not be too appealing at first but give it a try and you should end up laughing without a doubt. Some viewers have said that you need to be a black person to find this movie funny, or you need to have lived in the hood, which, in my opinion, is not true, I'm white, I live in England and my face was so sore after laughing at this. The only thing that helps is if you've seen the movies that this is parodying, and then you should certainly have no problem finding this film hilarious. Just like I did.

To say, `Don't Be A Menace...' is a comedy classic is quiet the understatement. All the characters in this movie provide laugh after laugh. It's the practice run for Wayans movies to be made years later on. `Scary Movie 1 & 2' clearly have borrowed the mold from `Don't Be A Menace...' More films should be as funny as this one. Marlon's character `Loc Dog' certainly squares up to `Smokey' from the `Friday' anyday. Marlon's dialogue/appearance is cleverly written to poke fun at the stereotypical male you've seen in any John Singleton film. The cast is strong, good comedic performances come from the Wayans brothers (although, Marlon is the much better of the two), Suli McCullough, and Lahmard J. Tate, playing Ashtray's father, the second funniest character in this movie. The script is almost faultless in its field, and the jokes come quick and they don't let up until the end. This all helps to make this an addictive comedy classic. This truly is TOTALLY GHETTO FABULOUS!

Summary: One of the best comedies EVER!
Review: Never did a movie make me laugh so hard as this did, but first of all you need to know about the black lifestyle in the ghetto which is common sense to most. If you don't like gang movies though I wouldn't suggest watching this, but I could be wrong. A brother named Ashtray learns is learning how to live in the hood from homeboys, he meets a black beauty, Dashikee, I don't know how to spell that but close enough. He wants to move out of the ghetto with her and start a new life, a new child but alot of things get in his way, mostly Toothpicks gang. There are so many funny parts in this film, I'd say the funniest are when Toothpick was at the party and was talking about being in the shower with men, the MC Hammer dream, the convient store incident and in the movies begining when the two guys get shot. I demand that you watch this film, but as I said only if your into this type of thing. Great movie! If you've seen Baby Boy then you might see some similarities.

Summary: FUNNY AS HECK!! Don't believe the Amazon Editor Review.
Review: This is one of the funniest movies of all time (IMO). Shawn and Marlon are crazy to make this movie and I cant believe a studio backed this. This is one of the most racist, stereotyped, racy movies I have seen and I LOVE IT!!! You might have to be a bit familiar with the "hood"(corny as it may sound), to get this movie. Most people in the hood or street would find this movie funny. So far all my friends have loved this. FUNNY!!

Gave it 5/5 stars only cuz its a super funny movie. But wish the DVD was produced a lot better. Extras would of been nice too. Time to remaster, guys!

Review: This is an incredibly stupid movie but that's what makes it so good. It made me laugh at every scene. The Wayans brothers are hilarious in it. There are some parodies that are pretty funny too. It can be taken offensively but hopefully the title says it all.
