Product Description CONCERNED THAT HIS WANNABE RAPPER SON IS GOING TO RUIN HISCAMPAIGN, A WOULD BE GOVERNER HIRES TWO BLACK ACTORS TO TEACH HIS WHITE SON WHAT THE HOOD IS ALL ABOUT!
Amazon.com 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

Interesting February 3, 2010 Chandra Vinning (Los Angeles) The movie have some good actors in it, and they were funny at times, but I think that they over acted in this movie. It was as if they were trying too hard to look funny.
Among the top comedies ever November 3, 2009 Steviecj This is one of the funniest movies ever made, with more quotable lines, and memorable characters than any other movie I've seen. B-rad is the bomb.
Love this movie September 1, 2009 Melody Mannion (Illinois, USA) My roommate and I watched this movie on tv the day that I ordered it. It is one of those movies that is so ridiculous that it's absolutely hilarious. We watch it all the time and know most of the lines to the movie..it's embarrassing. The movie came really quickly and was in perfect condition. LOVE IT!!
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 DW (chicago, IL) 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.
