Editorial Review:
Hip-Hop Comedy. Malibu's most wanted rapper Brad "B-Rad" Gluckman maintains a hip-hop lifestyle that is seriously hindering his father's bid for governor. When his dad's campaign manager tries to neutralize the "problem" and teach him a lesson about what gangsta life is really like B-Rad proves to the player-haters that he's for real and wins the affection of a business-savvy South Central hottie.Running Time: 86 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY UPC: 085392468423 Manufacturer No: 24684
Description of Malibu's Most Wanted (Full Screen Edition):
Malibu's Most Wanted stars Jamie Kennedy (Scream) as a white boy named Brad (or, as he prefers it, B-Rad) from the beach community north of L.A. who thinks he's a hip-hop star on the verge of discovery. His wannabe rap star persona is an embarrassment to his father's political campaign, so his father's handlers hire two actors (Anthony Anderson and Taye Diggs) to pretend to be ghetto gangsters, kidnap B-Rad, and "scare the black out of him." The movie's main source of comedy is that these prissy actors are no more street than B-Rad, so they're posing even more than he is. Malibu's Most Wanted isn't the Scary Movie-style lampoon you might expect; it's actually a surprisingly earnest character comedy about the cultural behaviors people use to identify themselves. This approach may get in the way of some potential laughs, but it also gives the movie some heart. --Bret Fetzer
Malibu's Most Wanted (Full Screen Edition) Reviews:
Don't Roll Your Eyes Just Yet : ) 
2008-01-03 - Ok, I must admit, this definitely isn't a brain teaser and it's not even anything you remotely have to think about to get.
I bought this DVD for my son along with a few others that he wanted for his birthday and I couldn't believe I was actually cracking up laughing at this movie. It's very funny! It's one of those movies you roll your eyes at and only watch because your child wants you to watch with them and then you find yourself starting to enjoy it yourself and you look at each other and laugh.
This movie is a lot of fun and has great comedic value. You might even catch yourself sayin' Wazzzup...after it's over. lol I'm glad it was a movie my family could share and one we all could enjoy.
Wonderful Movie! 
2007-11-10 - This comity is just as funny on the small screen as on the movie screen. I would recommend it to a friend.
funny and crazy
2007-05-01 - I enjoyed this movie very much a guy name Jamie Kennedy that is known as B-Rad as Brad been acting like he is a gangsta... not a bad movie... most of the parts I laughed but it worth my time enjoy watching comedy movies like this one... also I know an actor who played small part in this movie his name was Terry Crews known as 8 Ball he played in White Chicks
Fun, light-hearted comedy
2007-03-14 - When young B-Rad's dad, a local politician is trying to boost his career the last thing he wants is his son, wannabe rapper B-Rad showing up and ruining his pep rally with his rap lyrics and funky friends. When B-Rad's antics nearly cost him the election, a close advisor suggests staging a fake kidnap to scare him into embracing his own culture. He hires two black actors (humorously portrayed by Anthony Anderson and Taye Diggs)who pose as thugs and kidnap B-Rad with unexpected consequences.
This was a really funny film. I thought Jamie Kennedy did an excellent job with his portrayal of young Brad, and I thought the scenes with the Psychiatrist and the Korean store clerks were funny. 4 stars!
Great Comedy 
2007-01-11 - This is a great movie to, watch, lots of hilarious scenes as well. Dont forget the directors commentary as well.
The movie is on double sided DVD so u have to be extra careful when handling.
