Product Description
Pootie call based on the hilariously unintelligible character from the chris rock show its the outrageous villain-whupping adventures of a hit-singing magic-belt-wielding urban superhero with a style and a language all his own.

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

 A 50 sec long comedy sketch that is 81 minutes too long. April 29, 2009

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! February 5, 2009

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.
Just another Jewish Superiority movie wrapped in anti-White movie December 21, 2008

First, the movie pushes the idea that a confused, angry teen could easily blast up the neo-Nazi ranks. Why? Well, because that teen is Jewish...and, according to the movie, Jews have superior speaking skills, superior critical thinking abilities, superior intelligence, superior fighting abilities, superior debating abilities, and endless other Jewish supremist myths.
You see, according to this movie, all neo-Nazis are dumb knuckle-dragging brutes (aka, whites). And when the Jew isn't dominating the brutes (whites) with his superior brain, he's knocking them out with his fists...literally.
But why does this Jewish teen hate Jews? Well, according to the movie, he mostly hates Jews because Jews have superior sexuality, superior intelligence, superior culture, superior business mind, superior spirituality, etc. Really...those are most of his arguments.
What about the other arguments? Well, he contradicts them with Jewish supremacist myths. For example, he picks on a Jewish kid for being weak and cowardly, but later he (a Jew) beats up a 'Goliath' of a man. Another example, he ridiculously claims Jews lack thrusting abilities, then later he's bitter about how great Jews are in bed.
You see, the subtext of the movie is that Jews are better...just better.
Thus, in the end, he succombs to the notion of Jewish supremacy and their inevitable domination of the world...and advises non-Jews to just accept it too and to just love Jews...yep, just love them. But don't love them as you would any ol' human, love them for their superiority...otherwise, their superiority will, according to the movie, make you into a bitter, jealous person.
BTW: This movie was never meant to go wide because the audience was mostly in cities that show limited releases: Jews. This movie is, like most anti-nazi movies, meant more to motivate Jews to support Jewish leaders than enlighten/shame non-Jews. A Jew who both feels his/her belief system/race is superior than others and who is a bit scared of anti-semitism is much more likley to support Jewish leader's 'support Israel by any means necessary'.
Face it, like every other kind of supremacist, Jewish supremacy exists. It exists in Hollywood, in US politics, and it definately exists in Israel.
Instead of looking for ways to reward Gosling for this movie (as they have done for Crowe and Norton for perpetuating neo-nazi stereotype)...perhaps Hollywood should point its cameras honestly at Israel. Jews and non-Jews with real spiritual integrity have been screaming against how Israel came into being and how Israel has treated non-Jews for generations.

This movie never gets old. Great humor. Chris Rock plays multiple roles, each hilarious. What a great movie. Watch it!
Hilarious and thought provoking August 13, 2008

Hilarious on the surface and thought provoking when looked at thoroughly. I have seen the movie numerous times and fashion the plot to a modern day version of Samson and Delilah. Delilah seducing Samson and cutting his hair in order to steal his strength and make him vunerable, much like Ireenie stealing Pootie's belt so that he loses his mojo. Funny plot, great clothes and Wanda Sykes steals every scene in which she performs. Love it.
