June 9, 2009Not bad action-comedy of Keenen Ivory Wayans' film. Jada Pinkett's animated performance as Shame's fast-talking girl Friday is one of the few outstanding elements in this otherwise so-so spoof of blaxploitation pictures.

October 20, 2009Noone will ever claim this is a great movie, but it is a "good" movie with some points of hilarity, a cool hero, a spunky sidekick, and a decvent smattering of action. Keenen is the best of the Wayans to me since he is the only one who can take acting seriously.

Mr. Wayans is an agreeable screen presence, but he makes a surprisingly bland action hero. Full Review

Rita Kempley, Washington Post
Wayans isn't sure whether to send up Shaft and company or simply to remake the action thriller. The result is an embarrassing compromise. Full Review

Here is a movie about guns. Take away the guns, and the movie would be about nothing much. Full Review

It's easy -- far too easy -- to use the title of Keenen Ivory Wayans' latest movie as a description. Unfortunately, it's also accurate. Full Review

Wayans the screenwriter is largely to blame for the film's shortcomings, but Wayans the director does a solid job. Full Review

Michael Dequina, TheMovieReport.com
The comedy is hit-or-miss, while Wayans proves to be a huge fan of Hong Kong action flicks, ripping off a number of action sequences from them. Full Review

Unfortunately, however, where I'm Gonna Git You Sucka was completely off the wall, A Low Down Dirty Shame is just off. Full Review
