It's easy to pick out what people would object to in this movie. It really is little more than a sketch comedy bit extended to 80 minutes, it really only has one joke and it really is pure silliness. But... Full review

Pootie Tang was funny as a 5 minute sketch on the Chris Rock show. But the movie just doesn't work to me. It's like being stuck on a plane next to a guy who keeps telling you the same joke. It... Full review

This movie is so unique, it may be as difficult for some to understand as it is to figure out Pootie's language. I was captivated from the first scene right up to the end. Kudos to Lance Crouther for his... Full review

Pootie Tang is a very fun movie that cannot be taken seriously. I laughed at many aspects of this film and so should you. It should be taken lightly and with a zest for fun. I'll enjoy this film every... Full review

I'm not saying that Pootie Tang will be for everyone, but for those interested, it is really a gas. Pootie Tang was originated on Chris Rock's HBO show with Crouther playing Tang as the new president elect Pootie Tang telling... Full review
