December 11, 2009Keenan my Man! This Movie has to be one of the Silly and Funniest Movies I have ever seen. Why wouldnt it be, Keenan never dissapoints me.

October 16, 2009There are no words to describe just how amazing this film is. It salutes respectfully the blaxploitation era and the actors, with a clever hint of satire ( whereby the baddie is a White rich man, keeping black people down..) but most importantly it has the best jokes I have ever ... read more

November 28, 2007This one is pretty silly but there are some great things in it. Some of the jokes in this flick had me rolling. It has a great cast ans if you have watched enough of the type of movie it is making fun of you will enjoy it even more.

April 13, 2007This early outing by the Wyans boys is a fitfully funny spoof of 70s blaxploitation films that's occasionally hilarious. But only occasionally. Worth a look if you're a fan of the genre.

November 20, 2006Definitely has its moments--especially if you catch all the references, but not as good as I remember.

I'm Gonna Git You Sucka is a lively but uncertain mixture of nostalgia, silliness and genuinely unpredictable humor. Full Review
January 1, 2000
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Although, like all good satires, it is cheerfully willing to be offensive, it is almost completely incapable of being funny. Full Review

Rita Kempley, Washington Post
It's not that Wayans lacks wit, it's that he's stomped it to death. Full Review

Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Wayans' choosing to play romantic lead seems more narcissistic than smartly comic (watch him unleash those built biceps once too often); he lacks an unidentifiable shtick. Full Review

Lesli Goff, Empire Magazine
Unrelenting, unremitting, a brilliant broad-brush of a parody. Full Review

TV Guide's Movie Guide
In offering up this affectionate parody of the old movies, Wayans also turns a satiric eye on black culture in general -- but in an inoffensive, lighthearted manner. Full Review

Wally Hammond, Time Out
The greatest pleasure comes from seeing '70s veterans send themselves up. Full Review

You'll need to visit a doctor after it....to put back together your split-sides!
