Customer Reviews of Pootie Tang

Best movie I've seen all week!
When I opened the paper this morning and saw that Pootie Tang had been given a mere one star, I knew that I had to see this movie. These are the same idiots, I thought, who ripped apart Freddy Got Fingered, and weren't they ever wrong there! So I rounded up my buddies and informed them that like heck if I was seeing that garbage movie "A.I." (Just because a guy's made a few good movies doesn't mean his poo doesn't stink, folks.) Not five minutes of Pootie Tang had gone by when I knew that I was in for a real treat: this movie is HILARIOUS. Now, I will admit - the theater was filled to less than 10% capacity, and it was pretty quiet, save for myself and my two friends. Nevermind that - if you're not laughing until it hurts at pretty much everything in this movie, you're thinking way too hard about it. I won't bother to relate any of the particulars of the plot - suffice to say it's the journey of a hero who falls from grace, but redeems himself and learns that while on one hand you have to separate the right from the wrong, it's best to do it with a little love. Add in cameos by Andy Richter, David Cross, and various others, throw in a dash of funk, and you've got Pootie Tang.

Alright...
There are very few movies I have seen in my lifetime that have made me laugh hard. I'm talking about genuinely funny movies that only intelligent people get. Orgazmo was one of those movies. The Princess Bride was also one of those movies.

Pootie Tang is one of those movies. (...) I can't get through a day without watching it at least once, now.

I can't explain the ingenuity coursing all throughout this film. "Pootie Tang grew up in a small town outside of Gary, Illinois. That town was... CHICAGO!" Little things like that, and big things like Pootie's pseudo-sentence-fragments. The soundtrack fits so perfectly with the movie. I think they should've used that Dirty Dee song more. Pootie's song, which was just silence, and the father busting in to tell his son to "turn that noise down NOW!" The western-style sequence where they basically use stop-motion to place Pootie and Dirty Dee closer and closer to one another until they're touching and then they've suddenly passed through one another. The belt Pootie's father bought at Piggly-Wiggly for 59 cents. Daddy Tang being the third person mauled by a gorilla at the steel mill. "It's tough out there, Pootie. You got drugs... crime... gorillas..." No attempt to make the monkey look real.

Bob Costas, Robert Vaughn, and the hilarious Dave Attel all lend their hands to the hilarity. I can't even list everything that's great about it because I'd have to put the entire script down. See it,(...)

Absurd, Hilarious Comedy--one day A Classic
Yeah, you heard it first.
Pootie Tang will one day be a classic.

Based on the character on HBO's Chris Rock Show.
Pootie is a superstar/crimefighter, who beats down criminals with a magical belt (from Piggly Wiggly) and speaks an un-understandable type of slang.

The story is:
Pootie loses his magical belt to an evil vixen (played by Jennifer Coolidge), who was sent by the business mogul Dick Lecter (played by Robert Vaughn).
Lecter wants the belt so he can control Pootie and get him to endorse his products such as cigarettes, malt liquor, and razor blades to the children.
Pootie, after losing his belt, must retreat to the farm to regain his confidence and strength he will need to defeat the evil Dick Lecter.

The film also has tons of other stars like: comic Chris Rock (as Pootie's friend, his father, and a radio DJ), comic Wanda Sykes (as Biggie Shorty), comic Dave Attell (as Frank), J.B. Smoove (as the annoying Trucky), Laura Kightlinger, J.D. Williams (as Froggie), and Bob Costas (as himself).

This is movie is great but you have to give it a chance and realize that it is purposely ridiculous.
