Reviews
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Steve Pulaski I assume Malibu's Most Wanted is a parody of the lifestyle and career of Eminem taken in an over the top, silly format. There isn't really a message to be said here either come to think of it. It's one of those late night comedies that you watch for the hell of it. There really isn't a whole lot to criticize.A white boy, wanna be gangster rapper from Malibu nicknamed B-Rad (Kennedy) is the son of his Governor candidate father who needs to hatch a plan to get his son out of the way so he can win the election and not be made a mockery of. He decides to send his son with two actors (Anderson and Diggs) who are told to fake carjack him when with a girl (Hall) and take him into the real hood to show him life isn't what it's made out to be.Naturally, B-Rad still wants to pursue his gangster rapper image which proves to only land him in hot water with people at clubs and real gangbangers. I think we know the direction the film takes after that.The film relies entirely on clichés and traditional good/bad life lessons. It's hard to review a goofy comedy like this and it's even harder to lengthen a review of it because there is only one complaint; it's too cliché.Lots of one liners are dropped, all hit or miss, with several hitting. Still a comedy based off of one liners usually isn't a good comedy. But if the film has a great duo like Chris Farley and David Spade, the antics speak for themselves.I did get a kick out of seeing Anthony Anderson in the movie, but sadly, he doesn't add too much here either. Jamie Kennedy is a likable character, and Kal Penn makes a cameo in the film as well. Numerous little perks here, but ruined by the storyline used one too many times. Malibu's Most Wanted isn't too impressive.Starring: Jamie Kennedy, Taye Diggs, Anthony Anderson, Ryan O'Neal, Blair Underwood, Damien Wayans, Kal Penn, Bo Derek, and Regina Hall. Directed by: John Whitesell.
purplex123 After watching this movie, I can watch again and its is still funny, I recommended it to my m8s and they love it too, hell they wanted to watch it again. Although Swardson could of had a bigger role but it all good mix, of humour and 8 mile,Terry Crews role was just hilarious, he can always make me laugh :O when is he gonna be a lead in a comedy???I love Kennedy work,I don't know about his song maybe he Should that go and keep making comedy films.Every character is great in this Most enjoyable. And Even people who are down with it. Love it!!! 8/10 "my uncle gave it to me for my birthday" you will laugh when you hear this quote occurs in the movie. Cant wait for 'Kickin it old Skool'.
ironmonkey121 At first I though this was going to be a very good movie. I've seen Jamie Kennedy in other movies and TV shows and he seems like a really good and funny actor. But after watching this movie, I don't think he had given it his all like he had in other films.Let me be frank, the movie was good but it didn't have that formula to make it a blockbuster. There weren't too many funny parts in the movie unless you count Jamie's crew. I don't think that this movie should have got a 4.8 out of 10, it's not that bad. I at first though it would get a 5.5 to 6.5 as a rating, but I was surprised. This isn't that bad of a movie, it's watchable.So if you're bored one night, go to the video store and pick up a few movies including this one, you might just enjoy this flick.My rating : 3/5
toddrandall68 I just can't begin to describe how horribly offensive this movie was. A could count on a hand missing 2 fingers the things that were funny in this movie. The part where "B-rad" was in the shrinks office and he said "I told you, thats my slave name." I always found mocking black nationalism to be funny (Nat X on Saturday Night Live was great). When the rabbi asks Brad what the theme of his bar mitzvah is going to be and Brad says "its O.P.P. bitch!" And finally, the part were the ganstas that "kidnapped" Brad said when Brad asked if they wanted some pringles, the gansta says, "this ain't no picnic bitch." Other than those few things the movie was rather stale. It could have been better with some better actors though.
