oneguyrambling This is either the worst film in cinematic history… or the 5th worst film in cinematic history… I can't decide.What it most definitely is – is a casting call of stand up comedians and "it" musicians from Hip-America…Put more simply: If the following names mean nothing or near-nothing to you avoid this film at all costs, as in reality name recognition has all this film has going for it;Dave AttellTodd BarryLouis C.K.David CrossMissy ElliottPrince PaulChris RockWanda SykesThis is a vanity project financed by nothing more than the pull of sheer weight of name numbers – even though after Rock's name the "Pull" power drops away dramatically.Read what you want into the above statement but I unequivocally stand behind it. This film had no chance to exist were it not for whoever green lit it's desire to not p*ss off Rock and co.Tang is some guy who talks in his own unfunny unique lingo – powered by a magic belt – he is a smooth-movin, bullet dodgin' super-cool good guy. Tang is a magnetic presence, a 100% proof chick magnet, every guy's best friend and an eternally – if inexplicably popular – marketing symbol, hugely influential and always on the side of what is good and right.EVERYONE loves them some Tang… but especially Biggy Shorty (Wanda Sykes) – a woman who is mos-def NOT a ho, even though she dances on street corners to unseen musical sources alongside prostitutes whilst scantily clad.The key plot-point is triggered when Tang has his reputation and image tarnished when he appears to side with big (naughty) business to endorse damaging products such as hard liquor and cigarettes, things he was previously known to abhor.He immediately steps away from the spotlight and all society seems to go to hell, with myriad "Pootie-alikes" stepping in to fill his endorsement and spokesman void – all seemingly hell-bent to hawk sh*t he wouldn't have previously gone anywhere near.()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()Before I tap another key I might point out that even if one microbe of this sounds amusing it really isn't. The only time I chuckled was when Pootie released a single that featured nothing but silence, only to universal acclaim and chart success – though I immediately castigated myself.Despite comedians I absolutely love this is a laugh-free zone, something I would have thought impossible without watching it myself – twice.Look. If you think characters called Bad Bitty and Dirty Dee (a guy so-called because he revels in being unsanitary) are funny then there might be something here just for you……If you think a man orphaned by a freak gorilla incident spouting nonsensical dialogue – a prime example being "See, my damie, Pootie Tang don't wa-da-tah to the shama-cow…", then you might have a ball with this. Aside from that the most notable thing I can point out is the presence of a young surgery free Kristin Bell, and I ain't talking' about her chesticles, her face has had a lot of work since this flick.Final Rating – 3 / 10. The various elements and names suggest there should be much to note… if not love, the 80 minutes on show dispute this… indisputably.

freenachos This movie gets no respect even from it's own writers and actors! That's OK. I really like this movie. And listen, I watch movies that movie snobs/nerds would really go for: from Big Lebowski to Cool Hand Luke, back around to Chinatown, Vertigo or Superman 2. I have Netflix, people! NETFLIX!I own the DVD and have actually watched it over and over. It's very short. It's good for parties. It's super silly in a way that you would expect from Louis C.K., Chris Rock, Dave Atell and David Cross. It's just some weird, stupid take on a Blaxploitation movie. I'll admit: it MAY not be your thing, and that's AOK. But I really like this movie.

faltikor_2 First off. Sorry for my bad English, i'll do my bestThis movie was so bad that it would be more painless to die screaming from testicular cancer in a smelly cellar on a cold Monday morning than have to sit through this crap. I was sitting there, hoping that a piece of airplane debris would crash through the roof of my house and kill me. I rented it at the local Blockbuster with two friends and we were like "Oh yeah, a black comedy, and it has Chris Rock in it, oh boy oh boy, we cant WAIT to see this one"..... wrong.. WORNG !! Worst movie EVER! next to "EPIC MOVIE, SUPERHERO MOVIE, DATE MOVIE etc. etc." Za Tah Day my ass you weird looking mother******..!

mrp422 OK, so it's not the greatest. Watch it twice at minimum to get the full effect, just like "Napoleon Dynamite." Excellent humor, Chris Rock is a f$#$ing GENIUS and needs to make way more movies. Maybe he could get Lance to come back for "Tang 2: Hunt for Daddy's Belt." Then again, maybe he needs to stay away and focus on his stand up routine. In any event, this movie is a great time waster and one for the times when there really isn't much left to do. I can't think of another movie that made me laugh so much, once the point was made about Pootie's "problem."Watch this with someone who has an open mind and doesn't mind laughing at stupidity. Entertaining people should be this easy in all movies.
