Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood

Nearly all movies are about other movies.

Nearly all life acts are from movies; nearly all stereotypes are from acts.

The Wayons merely close the loop: movies where the acts are stereotypes of stereotypes. They really know what they are doing, disguising it as social commentary. But that you get enough of in the first five minutes. Check out how many jokes are about acting, about every third one.

And then check out what they did next, with "Scary Movies," which takes the circle one more loop.

I admit that I'm a fan. They seem to be the only ones who can do what Zucker used to: serve up what are generally called spoofs.

I think it is because they start knowing that the target isn't bits of movies, but the bits we use in inventing the stories of who we are.

Ted's Evaluation -- 3 of 3: Worth watching.

Renting this movie I was expecting another comedy to the likes of "Class Act" "Booty Call" and "House Party", which were all great movies. But I got so much more.

This parody of movies such as "Menace II Society" Boyz N Da Hood" and "Dead Presidents" was funny as hell.

They really poke fun at themselves to the extreme, making fun of guns, booze and lets not forget the ladies.

I really enjoyed this, it was a movie where you could grab some popcorn lay back, switch your mind off and laugh non stop.

This movie is similar to the Wayans brothers' Scary movie . . . makes fun of a lot of movies and pop culture trends, and you don't have to have seen all the movies referred to (including poetic justice, higher learning, Menace II society, boyz 'n the hood, juice, jungle fever). The other comment under this movie said that it was not funny because he/she was not black and did not come from the hood. Well, I am not black and I do not come from the hood, and I have not even seen all the movies they are targeting here, but I thought it was hilarious. If you know nothing about the movies I listed above, you probably would not get this movie. but if you have seen any of them, and are at least somewhat culturally aware, you will appreciate this movie.

Easier times, less people offended and then there's this film. LOVE IT!!!

I've been wanting to see this movie for a while and I finally did. I thought it was hilarious!

The Wayans Brothers take off movies so well.

I thought this was a fabulous take off of all the hood movies.

All the jokes were very smart, original and funny.

The acting was good. They made a really good parody of all the hood characters.

I felt some characters were too over the top though, but nothing that bad.

I'm sure anyone will find this funny, but only if they've seen some of the hood movies. If they didn't then some of the jokes will stupid.

Overall I thought it was a marvelous take off of all the hood movies. An entertaining movie and must see for hood movie fans!

Keep up the good work Wayans!
