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

 Scare him White! January 12, 2009
Anandasubramanian C. Pranat
Cool fun movie, although dialogues are corny, and too rappish.
Its about a blue-blooded white kid who listens to hip-hop when he was a child and enters tries to emulate Akon/Eminem and other rappers despite being white.
His dad is running for Governer of California and is convinced by his [black] campaign manager that the wannabe [white] rapper boy is not an asset to his campaign (after some pretty hilarous outcomes).
So the manegr hires two black actors to kidnap this boy, and "scare him white".
of course, things go wrong, this boy learns about it, and pretends an actual shootout to be fake and fires guns...and dad comes to rescue him in a Hummer.
Overall cool laughs.
If you like Office Space, Anchorman and Borat... November 28, 2008

Malibu's Most Wanted is the shiznit. It ranks up there with Office Space, Anchorman and Borat. There are many funny lines and a ridiculous plot. I especially like the scene at the rap club. Hillarious!
Rent it today.

Perfect Comedy!!! October 15, 2008

This ia an extremely funny movie! Jamie Kennedy is awesome! I always laugh hard at this movie! Kennedy plays Brad "B-Rad G" Gluckman, the rapper-wannabe son of Bill Gluckman is running for the office of Governor of California. He shows up at his dad's campaign and starts rapping. Members from the campaign hire two black actors named Sean and PJ to scare Brad into acting like a white boy again. PJ gets his smokin' hot cousin, Shondra to help, but Brad is hard to change. Brad finds out it's not real, and begins to take matters into his own hands, but when a real gangsta' named Tec holds the actors and Brad hostage, Bill Gluckman forgets his campaign and tries to find his son, along with Brad's wannabe-gangsta' friends. If you love comedy, Jamie Kennedy, and 'da hood, you'll love MALIBU'S MOST WANTED!!!

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! November 10, 2007
