Critics don't understand a movie like this. This is strictly made for the audience and for laughter at the outrageous things the Wayan bros do. I Liked it.

Much as Keenen Ivory Wayans' I'm Gonna Git You Sucka parodied the basic elements of 70's blaxploitation pictures, this film written by and starring his younger brothers Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans ... read more

Finally, the movie that proves that Justice isn't always Poetic, Jungle Fever isn't always pretty, and Higher Learning can be a waste of time.

Another Wayans' movie, this time mixing up several different ghetto dramas as a kind of follow-up to 'I'm Gonna Git You Sucka', a true classic. Not much different than anything else they've ever done.

Critic Reviews

If you really want to appreciate this film, go see all the hood movies from the 90s - good and bad. Full Review

There's maybe three or four half-decent chuckles to be found in this otherwise interminable 90-minute mega-chore. Full Review
The thin plot is merely the frame for gags, and there are more a few good ones here. Full Review
