The Wash

I must admit, I was quite excited about the idea of DRE and SNOOP starring together in a full length movie. They work so well with each other. The short flick they made as an opener to the UP IN SMOKE Concert Tour last year was a riot! It had hot chicks, good laughs, and style. It's too bad they didn't do something more like that for their first feature length film together. The Problem with THE WASH is in the writing. DRE and SNOOP deserved a much better storyline. The plot of THE WASH was just too goofy!! And it ends so abruptly (after going through a whole silly story) that the end is no payoff. Actually when the credits start to roll, they show DRE'S smooth video for BAD INTENTIONS, so that made up for the quick ending. In watching BAD INTENTIONS, it made me wonder why they didn't elaborate on that idea for a DRE and SNOOP movie, where the duo end up at a fancy whorehouse and encounter endless crazy mishaps. It could be like a wacky PORKY'S for the new millenium with the kings of rap and their smooth antics leading the way. SO if anyone over at AFTERMATH is reading this, let's write it! DRE and SNOOP are both talented writers (which shows in their creative rhymes), They should perhaps co-write the next movie they star in. DRE and SNOOP are both on good game with their acting in THE WASH. It's just too bad that the material they had to work with wasn't strong enough. TOMMY CHONG also makes a hillarious cameo in the film...If you have heard DRE'S hot CHRONIC 2001 CD, you'll recall CHONG did a hillarious skit at the end of the disc...Well his Cameo in the flick is just as funny!!

THE WASH is worth checking out of you are a fan of DRE and SNOOP, like me, But for the rest, the silly plot may make the movie a WASHout. Atleast we got 3 new DRE tracks (2 together with Snoop) to give the movie some bounce. I look forward to the duo re-teaming for another film (and album of course)...BAD INTENTIONS: THE Movie All the way!!

watching "the wash" is kind of an odd experience. you laugh, you like the characters, but you wonder what the plot is really supposed to be. the jokes are there, so "the wash" is definitely a funny movie. in that respect, i enjoyed it. it seems that when d.j. pooh co-wrote the classic "friday" with ice cube, he definitely knew how to create hilarious situations and funny roles. but when he's on his own ("3 strikes" was his previous solo effort), something doesn't quite come off right. my main problem with "the wash" is the VERY ABRUPT ending. everyone will be like, "okay...it's over". they don't even bother to really wrap things up. it's just BAM...credits. the ending is weak, it could have been better. they set it up like the end of "next friday", where a couple different antagonists are brought into one situation at the same time. but the audience doesn't get much of a payoff. as chris rock might put it, "the wash" will take your clothes off, but will not f*** you.

If you find 'hip-hop comedy' funny,then this will make you laugh..funny scences with Slim-shady,Shaq..Snoop Dogg acted more like a bully in this movie,and DR.dre acted more like a gentlemen..Agin it's a forgetable movie but a forgetable funny movie to boot,lol!

I am a fan of rap music, the only type of music I listen to so I know Dr.Dre and Snoop Dogg very well, I have seen their previous movies. Before watching the movie, I knew it was going to be a horrible one, but not as bad as expected.

The synopsis of the story is about two friends, Sean (Dr.Dre) and Dee Loc. Sean gets fired from his previous job and has no money and they also have a three day notice before they get evicted out of their house. With no job and desperation of money, Dee Loc insists that Sean comes to his work and try to get a job there, a car wash called "The Wash". The Wash is a type of place worked by dumb people who only steal from customers, smoke weed, chase girls, etc. As Sean goes there and takes opening assistant manager job from the owner of The Wash, Mr.Washington (George Wallace). At the same time, Mr.Washington is going through a hard time at The Wash getting threatening phone calls from a previous employee at The Wash who was recently fired, Chris (Eminem). The employees at The Wash cant believe Mr.Washington had fired Chris because they all knew Chris was crazy.

The plot of the story was kind of stupid, but the actors did what they could to not make it as horrible as it would've been, except Snoop Dogg. And didn't like his acting like in all of his other movies, because almost at least 50% of the time, hes always a gangsta sort of type of person and it doesent seem to work in the movie. But there are some upsides to the movie. It actually delivered some okay humour especially from a character named "Slim" (DJ Pooh). His jokes are idiotic but has to make you laugh. But there are other jokes in the movie that don't execute due to it being played out. There are a lot of cameos such as Ludacris, Kurupt, Eminem, Xzibit and Shaquille O'Neal.

After watching the movie I was at least pleased it wasn't that bad. The only thing for next time, don't make Snoop Dogg play the same role for a different movie again.

6/10

I couldn't wait to rant as much as I could about this sorry excuse for a comedy. Some objetionable stuff like nonstop drug use and profane language made this movie worth not getting up and walking out of the theater, or taking the dvd out of my set and heaving it out window, but only those things saved it from getting a -2 out of 10. This entire script had absolutely no creativity or thought put into it, it felt like something you come up with at the top of your mind for a grade school project, like a novel at a preschool level of thought. If you listen closely to the dialogue, it's as simplistic as if the goal intent was to make this script 100% foolproof. In addition, there are way too many "run ons" in this movie, with small flaws that prevent the characters from sticking to the plot, as well as irrelevant little add-ons that have absolutely no point or place in the task at hand. I'm a big fan of Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, but this movie was, I'm sorry to say, a low point in both of their careers.
