pljames-78092 To rate the type of movie that you don't normally like watching, with a low rating is crazy. The movie just made the ridiculous so funny, you will watch it over and over! We still laugh when it comes on. So, if you are a comedy fanatic, your score will be higher than those who just wanted to rate the people who made it.

Boba_Fett1138 Thing I never understood is that these sort of simplistic and silly comedies often get slammed, while movies from the early days of the genre (the Jim Abrahams and Leslie Nielsen type of comedies) are being loved and considered to be classics, even though the humor and comedy of the movies is just the same. For me it's very simple; when a comedy amuses me and makes me laugh I consider it to be a good and effective one, no matter how bad and silly the movie got done.It's just the sort of movie in which things simply just happen, without often share a clear connection with each other and without featuring a real solid or clear main-story. It's really simplistic, especially story-wise but lots of its moments are simply funny and therefor this movie does work out as a comedy.I really won't pretend like "Pootie Tang" is the greatest thing ever. It's often just too simplistic for that and it's story and acting is definitely too much lacking. but there is no denying that this movie simply serves its purpose and I definitely can say that this is a movie that genuinely made me laugh because of how silly and crazy it at times got. Still, at the same time it's also true that the movie doesn't quite live up to its full potential. I mean, the movie never really lives up to its great and promising beginning. But luckily the movie is too short to start to further decline, below the level of average.Still the funniest Chris Rock comedy I've seen in years.6/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

elshikh4 That was good indeed as a sarcastic little movie where the new stars of the modern American pop culture have been smartly spoofed. Still the cleverest thing they added in that subject's history was the hero's loss of language as important evidence of the degeneration between the person and person's mind; whereas language is an intermediary which the relationship between humans and their mind differs according to the level of that intermediary. So imagine a society has no relationship of that kind at all ! Now all the people is listening to the big nothing, regarding how the most of the modern culture's production is presenting nonsense (movies, songs, sitcoms ..etc). It became all about entertainment and by the most trite, inane and vacuous ways. Therefore when somebody sunk under all of that atmosphere of decadence they'll not be able to polish at least their language - as the medium which by it they can communicate with their mind - so their thinking, behaviors.. whatever will go down ! So what a world where (Pootie Tang), who's talking in hallucination sometimes or muteness other times (his singing at the radio), became the very hero, the great artist and the perfect idol ! It's a world with no brain or trying to have one !At the same year there was (Josie and the Pussycats - 2001) which confirms so nicely that the modern pop culture aims at making us stupid petty creatures with no consciousness, no thinking but to consume only. So it's not art anymore it's how to make money fast as the ruler value of that culture or should I say that fallen culture ! (Pootie Tang) just says the same in one simple adventure which was not bad at all but only small and needed some concern (the actor of the vapid star mustn't be vapid also for instance !). Though, despite some a few low points, it's a talented amusing show with an original spoof superstar and something sharp to say which bitterly is that we live the era of (Pootie Tang) and his likes, imitators, wannabes.. So down with the brain and long live the WATTATA !

tone_e2000 Everyone loves a film which is so bad it's good. However, I have to say - somewhat predictably - this film is just plain bad. I usually like these kind of ridiculous comedies. For example Hollywood Shuffle and I'm Gonna Git You Sucka are both classics in my mind. However, like someone else said on this forum, Pootie Tang really only has one joke and it isn't funny. Throughout the film Pootie speaks in a nonsense language which is because he's too cool for words. Mmmmm... how very funny.I think there was one thing that made me laugh, but to be honest I can't even remember what it was. This film was just a massive disappointment. Controversial as it may be to say this, Chris Rock is rubbish. He seems to have become a parody of himself. I used to think he was great but now I'd prefer to watch Chris Tucker and dare I say it, Martin Lawrence.
