Genre: Feature Film Urban Comedy

Description of Pootie Tang:
Pootie Tang pushes blaxploitation to the point of surrealism. The title character--who first appeared on The Chris Rock Show--speaks a kind of slang on steroids, an incomprehensible stream of nonsense syllables that nonetheless makes him irresistible to women and a threat to evildoers everywhere. Pootie is part movie star, part superhero, righting wrongs with the slap of his daddy's belt. But when an evil corporation uses a super-ho named Ireenie (Jennifer Coolidge from Best in Show and Legally Blonde) to steal this magic belt, Pootie must find himself again. In the title role, Lance Crouther glides through the movie like Isaac Hayes's skinny younger brother, while Chris Rock lends his trademark bark to multiple roles, including Pootie's father. Crazed editing and a great soundtrack give Pootie Tang a little extra oomph. A bizarre comedy, likely to develop a cult following. Cameos by Missy Elliot and Bob Costas. --Bret Fetzer
Pootie Tang Reviews:
I'm the 22nd reviewer with a brain 
2009-08-10 - The 59 reviewers who gave this movie 5 stars need to be institutionalized. That is not hyperbole.
In fact, institutionalize the 20 who gave it 4 stars. For those who gave it 3 stars, I'll give you the benfit of the doubt and assume you had just smoked an ounce of powerful weed or taken some potent LSD before viewing, because watching this movie is agony.
The most the audiece lauged was 30 minutes into the film, when I leaned over to my friend and said (quite loudly) "this is the worst movie I've ever seen".
Verdict:
If I was sentenced to be locked in a prison room for a year with this playing over and over, I'd kill myself after a month.
BTW, over at IMDB, this movie gets 4 out of 10 which is still 3 too many
A 50 sec long comedy sketch that is 81 minutes too long.
2009-04-29 - Pootie-Tang is the worse movie I have ever watched, and I mean that sincerely. You know most bad movies atleast have a plot, some type of dialog, some type of acting, and entertain you in some fashion even if they are terrible, but this... this... this... is just horrible. I honestly could not even finish watching this movie in one sitting. I had to see it in small doses. I never found Pootie Tangs character funny or even chuckle worthy on the Chris Rock show, but a 81 minute long movie based on a 50sec sketch is a terrible idea. This movie came out when Chris Rock was at the peak of his popularity so you went in expecting some good laughs, but it just never happens. I mean you want to atleast try to find something laugh worthy or humorous, but it honestly just never happens. I've seen homade movies on youtube that were more entertaining than this. Look, just don't waste your money and don't waste your time. I always thought the worst Black movie I had ever seen was called "Sweet Sweet Backs badaaaaassss song"(yes that is the actual title), but Pootie-Tang knocks that off the charts by far. The viewing of this movie should only be used as a form of torture at best.
Loved it! 
2009-02-05 - I bought the Pootie Tang movie for my husband for his birthday because he had previously owned the movie and lost it. It is a hilarious movie! He watched it over and over all day long the first day he got it. I would say this is my husbands favorite movie of all time.
Fun and original 
2008-12-21 - Silly, stupid, and zany...but in a good way.
Plus, there are a several good life lessons sprinkled throughout the movie.
Whata-Ta My Damies
2008-08-31 - This movie never gets old. Great humor. Chris Rock plays multiple roles, each hilarious. What a great movie. Watch it!
