Movie Reviews of Pootie TangMovie Review: Absolutely nonsense... Summary: 5 Stars
and funnier than anything else out there. The great thing about “Pootie Tang” is the fact that it is joyfully stupid yet always laughing at itself. It is a smart dumb movie. The movie is about a Mr. T like super hero who is always on the side of the kids, telling them to eat their vegetables and not drink malt liquor. I told you this was stupid! With the help of his best friends (including one played by Chris Rock), the hot to trot Biggie Shortie and his daddy’s magic belt, Pootie is unstoppable when it comes to seducing women and recording hit songs. But it all goes down hill for Pootie once an evil corporation tries to ruin him once they see that he is cutting into the profits. Yeah, kind of a cliché story (at one point Pootie Tang even goes to a farm to lead a simple life and figure everything out) but with unforgettable. Not only is Pootie Tang outrageous, but they are a bunch of wild characters including mega ho Ireenie , drug dealer and Pig Pen wannabe Dirty Dee and the would be Miss Tang Biggie Shortie. Also, nice cameos by B-grade stars like Laura Kightlinger and Andy Richter.Its definitely weak when it comes to a story, but its pretty strong really driven by the actors and their outrageous lines and actions. You will laugh so hard at the cleverness in the absurdity of the movie. The movie doesn’t exploit the actors like many films blaxploitation did (hence the title, I assume). Everyone is in on the joke. While a laugh out loud movie, its all around weak for a DVD. The only real extra is a music video by 702. For those saying “7 0 Who?”, they had a big R&B hit a few years ago with a song called “Where My Girls At”. This DVD might be one of the best in my collection if it had a good audio commentary by Rock and others, talking about how their feelings on the film, bad or otherwise. Without real DVD extras, Pottie Tang is still good stuff. In the respect that it goes after a small audience and has them loving the movit, it is cult picture in the same respect of something like “Rocky Horror”. Either you get it and love it, or you’ll hate it. Capatown!
