jonathanmark-77048 Plot: A black detective becomes embroiled in a web of danger while searching for a fortune in missing drug money. During the course of his investigation, he encounters various old connections, ultimately confronting the criminal responsible for Shame's expulsion from the force. He must also deal with two women, Angela, a beautiful old flame, and Peaches, his energetic but annoying sidekick.This is easily my favorite Keenan Ivory Wayans directed film. This combines action and comedy very well within its story. The cast all play their roles very well, especially Keenan and Jada Pinkett Smith who delivers some of the funniest lines of the movie. The jokes don't feel forced and help drive the story forwarded unlike a lot of comedies these days who like to repeat the same joke over and over again. I wish more comedies nowadays were more like this.Overall, A Low Down Dirty Shame is a very underrated action comedy that delivers on the laughs, action, and has s good straight forwarded story That holds its own. Check this out if you haven't seen it, you will not regret it.

stumaczter1 I'm sure this movie wasn't done with "we're gonna win an academy award with this one!" intentions it doesn't take itself too seriously & was done to entertain & it did just that! Trust me all the negative criticism & unnecessary flack this movie got was totally unwarranted & was done by people who have NO taste for GREAT entertainment! That being said this movie is one of my favourite comedy/action flicks..it is FUNNNNNNNNNY & the ACTION is steadily paced & EXPLOSIVE there isn't a dull moment in this one guys.Jada Pinkett was too cute not to mention hilarious in this movie & her personality amped this film up nicely.The guy who played Louise was very funny & of course the oldest Wayans brother Keenan (the star)delivered too.Lol the guy who played Wayman was a riot as well. In my head I'm trying to pick out a favourite moment from this movie & I can't!..the whole movie was a BLAST & if you haven't seen it yet you're wasting time..seriously! It's one of the best films in the comedy/action genre & fans of both individual genres WON'T be disappointed either..so if you haven't seen it yet do yourself a favour & check it out you won't regret it! 10 out of 10 stars!

ct162926 WOW! this movie was great filled with action and comedy. The Action was from start to end! And the comedy is what makes this movie good peaches (Jada Pinkett Smith) was so funny in this one go rent it its worth 3 or 4 bucks! Don't Listen To The Top Comment hes a negative person and it has different people in it that surprisingly does a very good job!

bob the moo Shame is a former cop who, in an attempt to be different, is now a private detective with, would you believe it, loads of debts, a bedraggled appearance and a bagload of quips and smartassed remarks. When old friend Rothmiller offers him a job to track down a criminal who Shame believes he had killed. He takes the case for personal as much as financial reasons and soon finds himself in a whole world of trouble. Meanwhile his secretary Peaches, tries to help him but the sexual tension between them also proves to be a distraction.I must admit that I expected very little from this film and, truth be told, it delivered exactly what I expected from it – very little. From the title I knew it was aiming to be a comedy that would homage the idea of Shaft and other such movies – I didn't think that it would aim for spoof because it appeared to be more affectionate than that. This in itself is not a terrible thing but unfortunately it doesn't do anything very well and only succeeds in being a very basic piece of entertainment. The dramatic plot is important to it since it does try to be a thriller of sorts; sadly it doesn't work as it has too little substance and too much in the way of lazy writing and sweeping dramatic clichés.These clichés are also to be found in the characters. Shame is totally by-the-numbers; Peaches is a typically sassy black woman cliché; there is a tough police sergeant etc etc. Wayans is OK and fits the title role but, aside from some nice lines he really doesn't make the role his own. Pinkett is sexy and all but really she is yet another person reinforcing the "neck-jerking, finger-clicking" cliché of black women that is forced fed to us in too many media outlets. Dutton has little to do and Divoff is a pretty obvious bad guy. The cast all try but to be honest the material just isn't there dramatically or for the comedy and there is little the cast can do to cover for that – however it is hard to defend a performance from Hawkins that verges on being offensive.Overall this is very basic distraction that may just about do you if you are in an undemanding mood for a vaguely amusing but derivative detective movie. The script, plot and characters are overwhelmed by cliché and nothing actually works that well at all. Basic, Friday night stuff but certainly not worth staying in for.
