Pootie Tang

Rating:
Summary: Very funny, especially if you like the genre.
Review: I enjoyed this movie for what it was. The whole theatre was laughing. I would recommend seeing it with a lot of people, because the audience feedback helps. If you like 70's Blaxploitation films -- if you enjoy Shaft and Super Fly -- then go see this movie. A lot of the funny scenes are spoiled by the preview, so try not to see the preview before going. Oh, and stay for the whole credit roll; there are various goodies in the credits.

Summary: A Masterpiece of the Cinematic Arts
Review: This tale of one great man's fall from grace and comeback is heart-warming, hilarious and brilliant. Lance Crouther gives an Oscar-worthy performance of the titular character with the magic belt. I loved every minute of this movie! This will be a film that everyone will pass down from generation to generation. It was just an unbelievably great movie.

Summary: Hilarious!
Review: Obviousely, Wylie was a little confused. He couldn't have possibly seen the movie yet since it was just released yesterday (June 29). So I don't understand how he could have so much to say about a movie he's never seen before. I know he never saw the movie because the date he wrote the review was the 21st of June. Pootie came out the 29th. Pootie Tang was hilariously funny and I reccomend it to anyone looking for a good laugh. I know I'll be there first to buy Pootie Tang on DVD the day it comes out. This movie was a masterpiece, and I think it was one of the best comedies of the year!

Review: Bad, Bad, Bad! I'd rather see a 5 hour Teletubie movie then see Pootie Tang. It was the STUPIDEST, DUMBEST, MOST RETARDED movie ever in the history of Hollywood. I can't believe it made it to the theaters. It's God awful. Don't bother to see it!!! Trust me!

Summary: Absurd, Hilarious Comedy--one day A Classic
Review: Yeah, you heard it first.
Pootie Tang will one day be a classic.

Based on the character on HBO's Chris Rock Show.
Pootie is a superstar/crimefighter, who beats down criminals with a magical belt (from Piggly Wiggly) and speaks an un-understandable type of slang.

The story is:
Pootie loses his magical belt to an evil vixen (played by Jennifer Coolidge), who was sent by the business mogul Dick Lecter (played by Robert Vaughn).
Lecter wants the belt so he can control Pootie and get him to endorse his products such as cigarettes, malt liquor, and razor blades to the children.
Pootie, after losing his belt, must retreat to the farm to regain his confidence and strength he will need to defeat the evil Dick Lecter.

The film also has tons of other stars like: comic Chris Rock (as Pootie's friend, his father, and a radio DJ), comic Wanda Sykes (as Biggie Smalls), comic Dave Attell (as Frank), J.B. Smoove (as the annoying Trucky), Laura Kightlinger, J.D. Williams (as Froggie), and Bob Costas (as himself).

This is movie is great but you have to give it a chance and realize that it is purposely ridiculous.

Summary: Hilarious, lighthearted blaxsploitation spoof
Review: I was expecting a crude, low-brow film in the vein of Scary Movie 2. What I got was a fun, silly and faced-paced spoof of blaxsploitation flicks that is even better than the Wayans' "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka."

Looking like a younger, scrawnier Billy Dee Williams, Lance Crouther excells as Pootie Tang, an urban, crime-fighting dude who does PSAs telling kids not to eat fast food or drink malt liquor. Chris Rock also co-stars as a neighborhood pal of Pootie, and the other characters in this film are funny stereotypes cut from central casting.

The film editing and camera work combines the zaniness of Laugh-In with 70s cop shows, and the soundtrack is fantastic. This movie has no redeeming social value and will never win any awards. However, I laughed out loud and giggled many times at its childlike silliness and fun atmosphere. It's a funny, funny flick for teenagers and adults.

Summary: "My Man, Pootie Tang"
Review: When this movie was first released in theaters, I passed it off as "one of those movies too stupid for intellect". But after seeing it (on cable) I couldn't stop laughing. I've seen Pootie Tang enough to remember the dialouge. The actors in this movie are very serious in their delivery of such crazy material. The dialogue, the editing, the action, the whole movie doesn't take itself too seriously and leaves the laughing to the audience.

Definitely a cult classic!

Best scenes:

Anytime Daddy Tang (Chris Rock) cracks his belt at young Pootie.

Pootie giving a bowl of milk to one of his groupies.

Biggie Shorty (Wanda Sykes) on the corner, gettin her dance on.

Pootie's Crew...and much more.

This movie is a "Must See!"

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.

Summary: No, Not the Tippy Tais!
Review: This movie doesn't take itself seriously at all, but thats not a bad thing. Its a lighthearted spoof of Superman and blaxploitation films, but it also has a heart of gold. Pootie genuinely struggles with trying to be a positive role model and living his life with integrity.

Unfortunately, corporate America tries to keep him down, and unwitting audience members who don't get the joke are further besmirching Pooties reputation. Its like Biggie Shortie said, maybe the world doesn't DESERVE Pootie Tang...

Summary: Its not doodie Tang, Its Pootie Tang, Baby!
Review: It is Shakespere, a poor orfin that grows up to not eat fast food, and be a role model for all people, and woops evils a** with his daddies belt. It is a movie about your basic good vs. evil, and the evil corporate America just hits to close to home. There is an underlying truth in this movie, that only the opressed see, and I am a super whiteboy from West Virginye', and see it quite well. And did I mention its just funny as all get out. Chapacow
