Editorial Review: Product Description: The adventures of Pootie Tang, an inner city crime fighter who speaks a language that nobody understands. Genre: Feature Film Urban Comedy Rating: PG13 Release Date: 2-MAY-2006 Media Type: DVD Amazon.com: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Sa da tay!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 ...

Not everyone will like or understand Pootie Tang, but those who do will be able to watch it over and over again. Rating:  - I'm the 22nd reviewer with a brainThe 59 reviewers who gave this movie 5 stars need to be institutionalized. That is not hyperbole. In fact, institutionalize the 20 who gave it 4 stars. For those who gave it 3 stars, I'll give you the benfit of the doubt and assume you had just smoked an ounce of powerful weed or taken some potent LSD before viewing, because watching this movie is agony. The most the audiece lauged was 30 minutes into the film, when I leaned over to my friend and said (quite loudly) "this ...

You know most bad movies atleast have a plot, some type of dialog, some type of acting, and entertain you in some fashion even if they are terrible, but this... this... this... is just horrible. I honestly could not even finish watching this movie in one sitting. I had to see it in small doses. I never found Pootie Tangs character funny or even chuckle worthy on the Chris Rock show, but a 81 minute long movie based on a 50sec ...

He watched it over and over all day long the first day he got it. I would say this is my husbands favorite movie of all time.
