Great premise, but they managed to muck it up. This flick was big on stereotypes; small on imagination. A lot of the humor was sophomoric and crass; indicating a not- too - mature writing staff. Some adult supervision would have greatly enhanced this predictable bore. The casting was great - all the main characters were quite capable and the movie did have its moments. Jamie Kennedy had the rap-wannabe dialect down. The movie quickly became bogged down with racial stereotyping, however: hostile blacks, lots of guns, women as sex objects. This film had lots of potential - it just needed some direction and, in the end, originality. The word "bitch" was used so frequently as it would indicate that the script writer received royalties for it. "Bitch", "bee-och"; it quickly graduated from offensive to nauseating.

After watching this movie, I can watch again and its is still funny, I recommended it to my m8s and they love it too, hell they wanted to watch it again. Although Swardson could of had a bigger role but it all good mix, of humour and 8 mile,Terry Crews role was just hilarious, he can always make me laugh :O when is he gonna be a lead in a comedy???I love Kennedy work,I don't know about his song maybe he Should that go and keep making comedy films.Every character is great in this Most enjoyable. And Even people who are down with it. Love it!!! 8/10 "my uncle gave it to me for my birthday" you will laugh when you hear this quote occurs in the movie. Cant wait for 'Kickin it old Skool'.

This movie was stupid, asinine, and absurd, but... man were there some funny scenes. The entire movie wasn't funny, but there were a few scenes that were a riot. MMW was so over the top that it couldn't be taken even slightly serious, hence it made it pretty funny. This movie never took itself seriously even for a second, which was actually sort of nice because you never had to analyze or look for meaning in anything that would otherwise probably be highly offensive. I want to say that MMW was a spoof, or parody even, but just not on the level of a Lesley Nielson type parody.Malibu's Most Wanted is not Oscar caliber movie but from what I hear, it is a lot better than the Jamie Kennedy starred "Son of the Mask".

At first I though this was going to be a very good movie. I've seen Jamie Kennedy in other movies and TV shows and he seems like a really good and funny actor. But after watching this movie, I don't think he had given it his all like he had in other films.Let me be frank, the movie was good but it didn't have that formula to make it a blockbuster. There weren't too many funny parts in the movie unless you count Jamie's crew. I don't think that this movie should have got a 4.8 out of 10, it's not that bad. I at first though it would get a 5.5 to 6.5 as a rating, but I was surprised. This isn't that bad of a movie, it's watchable.So if you're bored one night, go to the video store and pick up a few movies including this one, you might just enjoy this flick.My rating : 3/5
