Pootie Tang Review

This movie is hilarious. Pootie Tang is just too cool for words so he makes them up based on how smooth they sound. But everyone understands him and the audience does too, which can lead to an even longer discussion about the nature of communication. But that's getting a little theoretical for such a hilarious comedy. The features are non-existent and sometimes this movie seems like a Saturday Night Live sketch that they just didn't spend long enough time with the script to make it classic. Like the characters are not very developed and the plot is simplistic. And I think this was a sketch on the Chris Rock show originally. But for all that, it's a terrific movie, definitely good for many, many laughs. And you get to learn a new language. So, Kapa-Chow.

Pootie Tang Specifications

Pootie Tang pushes blaxploitation to the point of surrealism. The title character--who first appeared on The Chris Rock Show--speaks a kind of slang on steroids, an incomprehensible stream of nonsense syllables that nonetheless makes him irresistible to women and a threat to evildoers everywhere. Pootie is part movie star, part superhero, righting wrongs with the slap of his daddy's belt. But when an evil corporation uses a super-ho named Ireenie (Jennifer Coolidge from Best in Show and Legally Blonde) to steal this magic belt, Pootie must find himself again. In the title role, Lance Crouther glides through the movie like Isaac Hayes's skinny younger brother, while Chris Rock lends his trademark bark to multiple roles, including Pootie's father. Crazed editing and a great soundtrack give Pootie Tang a little extra oomph. A bizarre comedy, likely to develop a cult following. Cameos by Missy Elliot and Bob Costas. --Bret Fetzer
