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".

Review: Malibu's Most Wanted
10 Of 10
This Is Definetly The Funniest Movie Of 2003. I Saw An Advanced Screening Two Days Before It Was Actually Supposed To Come Out And Absolutely Love This Movie. Jamie Kennedy Plays B - Rad Gluckman A Wannabe Rapper With Only One Problem He's White. Sounds Allot Like 8 Mile Huh. Well That's Probably Because This Is A Spoof Of That Movie. B - Rad's Father's Co Worker Hires Two Actors ( Anthony Anderson And Taye Diggs ) To Kidnap Him And Scare The Black Out Of Him By Living In Compton And Seeing What Ghetto Life Is Really Like. In This Time He Meets A Perfect 10 Hottie Who Eventually Becomes His Girlfriend And People Learn It's Who He Really Is. This Movie Is Chock Full Of Memorable Lines Like This Is My Shizle Fo Rizzle And Don't Be Hatin. It Also Has A Voice Cameo By My Fave Rapper Snoop Dogg As A Rat. It Reminded Of A Mix Between Undercover Brother And The New Guy. Two Other Great Comedies. So See This And Don't Be Hatin Now.The Critics Tottally Be Hatin. Don't Be Like Them.

Summary: Malibu's Most Wanted-The Hood's Worst Enemy
Review: Jamie Kennedy's character, B-Rad G, is a wanna-be "gangsta rapper" from "The 'Bu" who laments that his life is hard. After all, he has to contend with things like traffic and having too much money. His father is running for governor of California and B-Rad's behavior is "embarrassing" and costing him votes. Tom Gibbons is one of two black staff members and is also B-Rad's father's campaign manager. He and his staff devise a plan to kidnap B-Rad and have the "black scared out of him." Enter Sean and P.J., a pair of feminine, black, classically trained actors, who are as unfamiliar with "the hood" as B-Rad is. They have to study a hip-hop dictionary to learn the correct phraseology to use on the streets and will be paid $30,000 to carry out the scheme. P.J.'s cousin, Shondra, who actually lives in the hood, enters into the scheme so she can make a quick buck and open a chain of beauty salons. Do the writers really think the only way black people can get ahead in life is by ill-gotten gains and duplicitous methods? Being a black woman from Los Angeles I struggled with whether or not to see this movie. Since the basic premise of the movie deals with hip-hop, I thought it would glorify the elements of the genre we are bombarded with on BET and MTV such as the "video girls," the bling-bling, etc...

Summary: B-rad G from the Bu
Review: This movie as I expected was absolutley wonderful. I enjoyed every minute of it. The movie in my opinion was really good. I had a good time watching it and I know a whole bunch of other people liked it too. I mean how can you not with Jamie Kennedy playing B-rad. Anthony Anderson was very funny too. The movie didnt have any nudity that is really bad unless if you consider Jamie Kennedy showing the upper part of his buttocks bad. The movie is hilarious and it also has a point to it. It doesnt matter if your black white purple or green..you are who you want to be. Dont change because someone doesnt like the way you are. And that is what I got from wathcing the movie. Like B-rad says Dont be hatin...especially on this movie. I would have given this movie more stars but it only goes up to 5 stars. So enjoy the movie. Also theres more than 10 minutes to the movie. I think if you or anyone stays for more than 10 minutes of the movie you would have enjoyed it. .... --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title

Summary: A Clever Idea With Some Truly Funny Moments
Review: Jamie Kennedy has shed his identity as Brad Gluckman, son of wealthy Malibu residents Bill (Ryan O'Neal) and Bess Gluckman (Bo Derek) to become LA pseudo gansta-rapper B-Rad. When his father runs for governor of California, B-Rad's unscripted appearances at his campaign rallies (supposedly to help his father appeal to the less priviledged voters to whom B-Rad claims that he relates) cause great embarrassment to his parents and consternation among the members of Bill's campaign staff. Blair Underwood, Bill's chief aide, then hires two black actors who appeared in a campaign commercial to "scare B-Rad white" by kidnapping him and holding him hostage while posing as gangstas from south central LA. They accomplish this by enlisting the help of the beautiful Shondra (Regina Hall). While there are some clever rap parodies and occasionally funny dialog in the first half of the movie, it drags a little while setting the scene for the hilarious second half. The kidnappers, Sean (Taye Diggs) and P.J. (Anthony Anderson), are clueless about the gangsta culture they supposedly represent and thus have to prepare for the assignment by rehearsing their lines just like any other acting job. Then, things get complicated when B-Rad catches on to the scheme but doesn't realize that the script has changed and that he is in actual danger when Shondra's jealous ex-boyfriend Tec (Damien Dante Wayans) attempts to kidnap him. Snoop Dog even gets into the act as a gangsta rap version of Stuart Little. Some of the rap parodies are very funny, even to viewers such as myself whose musical taste doesn't include hip hop. And the satire is at times right on, such as B-Rad rapping about "Living in the Bu", the varied members of his group, and the unsuccessful efforts of Sean and P.J. to mimic the attitudes of boys from the 'hood. In the words of one reviewer, some of the scenes are downright looney and incredibly funny. Quite surprisingly (undoubtedly to earn a PG-13 rating), the profanity is very limited and innocuous and there are only a couple of incidents involving sexual innuendo. The movie is the more enjoyable as a result because to keep the viewer's interest it has to rely on real humor and parody rather than shock value. There are a few very violent sequences in the latter half of the film, but they are completely stylized and involve substantial mayhem and destruction rather than sustained tension; there is no real gore and or death. As the New York Times suggested, in some ways this is a subversive film by suggesting that B-Rad is no more phony than the black gangsta rappers who he mimics. I enjoyed its feel good ending; although it was obviously a cop out the outcome was in keeping with the lighthearted nature of the story. So, if you want to see a combination romantic comedy, musical, and political satire, you will probably enjoy this film. However, to feel that it deserves more than three stars you probably have to be younger than I am and also a hip hop fan. As a final aside, it was very interesting to have a movie starring older white actors (O'Neal and the very well preserved Bo Derek) in stereotypical roles, a white Kennedy playing against racial type, while the black actors Underwood, Diggs, Anderson, Wayans and Hall variously played with and against stereotypical roles implicit in the story. This was very effective and hopefully will help attract a racially diverse audience and cause people to think about the movie's message as they laugh at the antics on the screen.

Summary: ...Ehhh? 2 & a Half Stars
Review: Yes, I saw this movie with high, VERY high hopes. About 15 people came with me, and we all watched the whole thing, except I and a few other walked out during the last 10 minutes to watch "House of 1000 Corpses." But keep in mind, that was only 10 minutes. Even so, this is not the movie I had hoped. I had hoped for an over the top spoof that had someone doing or saying something funny for every little thing that happened, such as in "Kung Pow!" or "Scary Movie". We get this at first; even though the laughs still aren't that big, and during the middle and the end, all the "wigger" jokes get old, even though wiggers do make me sick, and you get tired of hearing B-Rad's annoying voice, and they try to make it emotional in parts with B-Rad wishing he was dead because his Dad wouldn't bail him out. Oh yeah, I have to tell you about that... Malibu is a hard place to live. Drive-by's go down every day. Drugs are sold. Everyone's strapped with a 9...yeah right! But that's what B-Rad and his poseur gang of 4 want to believe. B-Rad's Dad is running for governor, and he is, to say the least, embaressed with his son's behavior, so he tries to get him to change so he can win the election without a wigger popping up everywhere when he's in the media. Psycology doesn't work, so his Dad tries something a little mroe creative. He hires to improv actors to act as gangsters and kidnap him to show him what life in the 'hood's truly like. But these actors aren't exactly too up with the ghetto either, so they have to pay one of their cousin's to let them use her house to pull the job off, which just starts off an annoying love story between the cousin and B-Rad, another thing that does not belong in this movie...but either way, things get more complicated, and if you have the guts to see this movie, go and find out, but I suggest you go and see "House of 1000 Corpses" instead...

Summary: A Comedic Look At An Annoying Subculture
Review: Jamie Kennedy nailed this one on the head. "Malibu's Most Wanted" exposes a part of our society that has become increasingly annoying over the years: White kids with wealthy parents who think that just because they wear "urban" clothes and listen to hip-hop, they are somehow "street." Others have picked on Eminem for doing this, but that guy actually lived in a rough neighborhood in tough confines. He has "street" cred. Most of these other punks wouldn't know what it's like to be poor, untrusted, even hated, because of their social status or skin color. It's these same kids whose parents bail them out every time they wreck their Navigator or Escalade they mommy bought for them.
In this social comedy, Kennedy plays B-Rad, a wealthy Jewish kid whose father is running for governor. B-Rad "drops rhymes" and "represents" the best of Malibu. He thinks he's "street," all the while driving around in a vehicle with vanity plates, a fancy sound system, etc. He hangs out with his "crew" at the Malibrew coffee house. B-Rad's father entrusts his son's unusual behavior to his campaign manager, who promptly hires two professionally trained actors to "scare" B-Rad white again. Unfortunately, the dynamic duo he chose are perhaps "whiter" than B-Rad. They are played with great comic timing by Anthony Anderson and Taye Diggs. Some of the best parts of the film are when these two play out the stereotypical "white" side of hip-hop by asking the DJ at a hardcore rap club if he has any Will Smith to get "jiggy" with. Another hilarious scene involves a Korean family protecting their shop in Compton.
The obvious intention of this film is to expose racial stereotypes and make them comedic in the process. For instance, when B-Rad's crew decides to go save him, they each go home and get their parents' biggest gat. It's funny when the Arab character comes out with a bazooka given to him by an uncle back in the homeland.
Perhaps unintentionally, this film shows that just because a person is black or just because they are poor, doesn't mean that they aren't aware of the world around them. When a gang, the "I-9's," abduct B-Rad, they mention that they are voting for his father in the election.
In all, this film makes some very valid points about stereotypes. It also shows the viewer that just because someone is a certain color or race or religion, never underestimate what they are capable of. It is also very funny. It utilizes stereotypes in a comedic fashion just as much as in a social way. Lastly, it shows people just how silly they look when the pretend to be something that they aren't.

Summary: Funny
Review: This is a good movie with the main character B-rad (Jamie Kennedy) who is a wannabe rapper or wigger, who lives in a big house in Malibu. His dad (who is running for a governor) is tired of him and hires two actors played by Taye Diggs and Anthony Anderson to kidnap him and take him to the real hood in compton to scare the ghetto-fied attitude out of him.
This is a good movie and it's funny how wack B-rad raps at the freestyle and throughout the movie. He makes a big mistake at the freestyle by saying the n word (in an all black club) and is booed off.
Also there is Shondra (hall) who goes around with PJ and Sean(the actors) and Snoop Dogg makes a brief appearance as Ronnie Rizzat who tells B-Rad and tells him to be himself.
Overall this is good and watch for a funny movie
