Summary: Malibu's Most Wanted- Simply A Good Time
Review: Malibu's Most Wanted was for the most part silly and rather dumb but it was hilarious and for that I give it 4 stars, the one star deducted is for the amount reasonable silliness in this film.
Jamie Kennedy plays B-Rad, a white kid who thinks he's a rapper and is not whtie. He thinks he's slick, cool and gifted, yet he's horrific when it comes to rapping with his bad rhyming and pathetic lyrics. His father, a candidate running for governor of California doesn't want his son to ruin his campaign and so he requests his campaign manager (Blair Underwood) to hire two actors (hilarious Taye Diggs and Anthony Anderson) to scare the black out of his son and simply make him white. Taye Diggs and Anthony Anderson try to be two ganster-like characters from the hood who are trying to make B-Rad realize that he can obviously never be black or be a rapper. Regina King plays Anderson's counsin Shondra and soons becomes the love interest of B-Rad, which could set a bit of distraction. The premise of this movie does sound rather unintelligent and is the least bit clever but it's an amiable farce loaded with laughs. Director John Whitesell can coax out laughs here. The main charaters behind the immense laughter here are Diggs and Anderson, who pulled off there characters well and did look a bit convincing in their roles. Kennedy alongside has his laughs as well.
Malibu's Most Wanted is rated PG-13 for Sexual Humor, Language and Violence. The language is rather excessive with the frequent use of a certain b-word. There is a sufficient amount of sexual innuendo, not explicit though. The violence is infrequent and understated, mainly some bloodless gunplay and brief fistfights. Worth owning, or atleast renting. DVD includes deleted scenes, trailer and commentaries.

Summary: Hilarious !
Review: Man this movie was so frikin funny! Man I'm glad I got there early cuz this movie got soled out!MTV's Jamie Kennedy plays Brad Gluckman, son of a wealthy man (Ryan O'Neal) who is running for governor. Brad and his friends are posers (sometimes known as wiggers) who adopt the clothing, slang, and outlook of black rappers from the poorest and most violent communities. He insists on being called B-Rad, and has made a demo album called "Mali-booty." This is an embarrassment to the campaign, so the candidate's political advisor (Blair Underwood) hires two clasically trained actors to pretend to be real gangstas and "scare the black out of" Brad and turn him back into acting like Richie Cunningham (from television's "Happy Days"). The actors (Taye Diggs and Anthony Anderson), despite the fact that rap style is even more foreign to them than it is to residents of Malibu.

Summary: Just barely three stars
Review: Why would I watch a film like this? Well I have a teenage son and he and his friends think it's a crack up and have watched it many times over. I try and keep abreast on what they watch and like and so I gladly sat through this one twice.
I wouldn't own it, but my kids do and it's not all that bad of a flick. It's mostly a coming of age morality tale and the message it sends is mostly good and wholesome. It's probably not a good movie for the real young, but for most teens it's got nothing too bad and it's entertaining enough.

Summary: Very Funny!!!
Review: I was pleasantly surprised by "Malibu's Most Wanted"! It actually turned out to be a very funny movie. I was a little skeptical at first, but I can't deny that there were moments where I was laughing very hard. The story revolves around Brad (a.k.a. B-rad), a rich kid from Malibu, who has completely taken on the thug lifestyle. Although he's never really left Malibu and gone to the real "streets" of L.A., he still feels that he's from the hood. Brad seems to be hurting his father's campaign to become governor, so two actors are hired to scare Brad "white". What happens to Brad, the actors, and an ambitious young lady will have you rolling! Not only was Jamie Kennedy very good in his role as Brad, but I especially liked Taye Diggs' and Anthony Anderson's portrayals as actors trying to find their motivation for acting like thugs, which was very hard for the classically-trained characters. Although the critics have been somewhat harsh while reviewing this movie, I would definitely suggest it. It's a cute movie that you can see when you want to have a good laugh. See for yourself!!![.]

Summary: This Sistah Loves Jamie Kennedy!
Review: Jamie Kennedy is the bomb! Malibu's Most Wanted could have used some work but Kennedy plays the lead character with style and keeps you laughing when the film gets its worse. I've always liked Jamie since Scream because of his unique comedic style. He never ceases to amaze. In Malibu's Most Wanted Jamie gives the audience a lot to think about AND laugh at. B-Rad ( Kennedy ) becomes the subject of a brutal joke. His father ( Ryan O'Neal ) inlists his campaign manager ( Blair Underwood ) to help him deal with his son. The problem is O'Neal's running for office and B-Rad's hip-hop antics are costing him votes. Thus, the kidnap plot of the year begins. And may I say it was a very funny and unique plot. We present Anthony Anderson and Taye Diggs ( two of the most popular black actors today ) playing actors. They know as much about the 'hood as B-Rad does so when they are hired to play gangstas and kidnap B-Rad the comedy really starts. They bring in a sistah, Shondra ( Regina Hall )to tempt B-Rad and she does just that. He ends up falling head over heels in love with her. Shondra finds herself attracted to him as well and why not? Jamie's hot whether he's white or black. I thought the transformation Anderson and Diggs did from actors to criminals was one of the funniest in the film but stands behind B-Rad hands down. Jamie rocked the house and though the film was cliched and stereotypical, you get a lot of laughs. I was hoping the film would stay original but it ended up being another Bringing Down The House, except Malibu's Most Wanted had more intelligence when it came to its audience. It didn't try to insult by having a bunch of black people do stupid things. What it did was educate in its own way showing that hip hop can truly be a culture of many flavors and can be used to bring people together. It may seem sappy but in the end you get a nice, multicultural comedy filled with interracial romance, rap stars, talking rats, bumping and grinding and all around fun. In the end B-Rad learns more about himself than he thought he would and so do we. I think this film is worth a look and believe me, I love intelligent films. This film may not be the calibur of Hamlet but it wasn't supposed to be. I think people forget that this was a COMEDY, a film to watch to have a good time. You don't always have to have a film that's socially and politically correct. I'm a black woman and nothing in this film offended me. I appreciated the effort and loved the fresh spin on how blacks and whites relate to hip hop. This may not be your cup of tea and that's fine. But as Jamie Kennedy says in the film " Don't be hatin' " which is a fine line if you think about it. Especially if you haven't given the movie a true chance. I'd just watch it all over again for Jamie if nothing else. He is so fine. Give the film a chance and draw your own conclusions.

Summary: Malibu's Most Wanted review
Review: Malibu is one of those movies that you can sit back and laugh out loud throughout the whole movie. Jamie Kennedy was great as Brad well he says that is his slave name so he prefers being called B-rad. B-rad lives in Malibu with his father Bill (Ryan O'Neal) who is running for governor. B-rad is a wannabe gangster rapper. The problem is that he can't RAP. I mean a preschooler could out rap him. Anyway, noone ever accepts B-rad for who he is. Bill and his staff try to keep his son as far away from his campaign b/c he's afraid b-rad might hurt his chances of winning. After unsuccessful attempts at trying to give b-rad a minor role in the campaign, bill comes up with an idea. That is to hire some black guys named T.J. (Taye Diggs) and Sean (Anthony Anderson) to kipnap b-rad and give him a glipse of what life in the hood is all about and hopefully b-rad will become white again. Even though neither one knew much about the streets they rely on Shondra (Regina Hall) as bait to help lure b-rad in by acting like she was record executive and could help him get a record deal. Of course, things didn't necessiarly go as planned. B-rad was slowly starting to catch on to their plan, but that wasn't all. They enter b-rad into a rapping contest and it was not a pleasant experience for b-rad. On top of that Tec (Shondra ex-boyfriend) started to take offense to him being around her and b-rad was involved in a incrediably bizzare gunfight. Bill realizes that maybe his plan was not a smart one to make. Of course, Shondra who starts to take a liking to him decide to help him before he could end up being killed. The next couple of scenes were absolutely insane as their was somewhat of a battle b/w Tec's crew and B-rad's crew but b-rad decides to come back home. His dad allows him to rap for his campaign, he and shondra start a relationship and shondra got to live her dream in opening up her own salon. This movie definatly ranks in the top 5 in comedy movies of 2003. It's got the same racial stereotypes but it's done in a clean PG-13 fashion. Everyone had fairly good roles and pacing of the movie were pretty good. It's worth checking out.

Summary: How did this work?
Review: The production values here are on par with a forgettable sit-com. The plotting and writing seem pretty weak. There is no tension or need to resolve leading to the "climax." And in the commentary, the players note that the movie was cut and paste based on focus group reaction, convenience, and who they could (not) get for cameos. Yet somehow, this movie is very enjoyable. The main reason is Jamie Kennedy: No matter what he does, he's interesting and likable, and we can't help but root for him. And the supporting cast is great: The two highjackers add funny layers throughout. The lead actress is fine and accesible. And Ryan O'Neal and the LA law guy are great as aptly superficial pols. And Bo Derek looks amazing and Malibuish. Shoud've shown her more! It seems the actors pulled it off, turning a likely near-disaster into something fun and worth repeated viewings.
