Rating:  - One of the best comedies EVER!
Never did a movie make me laugh so hard as this did, but first of all you need to know about the black lifestyle in the ghetto which is common sense to most. If you don't like gang movies though I wouldn't suggest watching this, but I could be wrong. A brother named Ashtray learns is learning how to live in the hood from homeboys, he meets a black beauty, Dashikee, I don't know how to spell that but close enough. He wants to move out of the ghetto with her and start a new life, a new child but alot of things get in his way, mostly Toothpicks gang. There are so many funny parts in this film, I'd say the funniest are when Toothpick was at the party and was talking about being in the shower with men, the MC Hammer dream, the convient store incident and in the movies begining when the two guys get shot. I demand that you watch this film, but as I said only if your into this type of thing. Great movie! If you've seen Baby Boy then you might see some similarities.

Don't Be A Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood os one of the funniest as far as the Wayans spoof comedies go and I'll put it to the table that it's one of the best comedies I've ever seen. You can see that the Wayans really wanted to shed some light on the violent "hood" movies of the early to mid 90's and they did it very well. Honestly, every hood movie was made fun of in this movie. Boyz in the Hood, Menace II Society, Juice, Friday, Poetic Justice, Higher Learning you name it, they made fun of it. And let's not leave out that they also made fun of how society depicts the inner city. But even so, it was still done in good taste and truly at no one's expense (so really, lighten up. It's just a movie). Marlon Wayans really came into his own in this one. He really showed his true comedic and acting abilities in this and made sure that every moment in this movie had a laugh in every scene. This was the starting point and the staple of how bad they were going to make fun of other movies (IE Scary Movie and Scary Movie 2). This is a must for people who love spoof comedy and comedy in general because no matter what, you will laugh through the entire movie. If you're looking for other spoof movies or anything of that nature, also check out CB-4 and the spoof of it FEAR OF A BLACK HAT. And of course, SCARY MOVIE and SCARY MOVIE 2. And if you still want more, how about FRIDAY and NEXT FRIDAY? I'm sure out of all of these suggestions, you'll be able to fund something that you like along with Don't Be A Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood.
Rating: - Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice
`Don't Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood' is an hilarious take on all the hood type movies and surprising it does come off really funny. Just as funny as `Friday' and such movies. Brothers, Marlon and Shawn Wayans, don't have any problem making fun of the typical ghetto life that a lot of Afro-Americans might have to experience. The thought of this might not be too appealing at first but give it a try and you should end up laughing without a doubt. Some viewers have said that you need to be a black person to find this movie funny, or you need to have lived in the hood, which, in my opinion, is not true, I'm white, I live in England and my face was so sore after laughing at this. The only thing that helps is if you've seen the movies that this is parodying, and then you should certainly have no problem finding this film hilarious. Just like I did. To say, `Don't Be A Menace...' is a comedy classic is quiet the understatement. All the characters in this movie provide laugh after laugh. It's the practice run for Wayans movies to be made years later on. `Scary Movie 1 & 2' clearly have borrowed the mold from `Don't Be A Menace...' More films should be as funny as this one. Marlon's character `Loc Dog' certainly squares up to `Smokey' from the `Friday' anyday. Marlon's dialogue/appearance is cleverly written to poke fun at the stereotypical male you've seen in any John Singleton film. The cast is strong, good comedic performances come from the Wayans brothers (although, Marlon is the much better of the two), Suli McCullough, and Lahmard J. Tate, playing Ashtray's father, the second funniest character in this movie. The script is almost faultless in its field, and the jokes come quick and they don't let up until the end. This all helps to make this an addictive comedy classic. This truly is TOTALLY GHETTO FABULOUS!
