Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood

A film review by Christopher Null - Copyright © 2002 Filmcritic.com

Before they found an audience with Scary Movie, the Wayans clan tried their hand at parody, and the result is even worse. Don't Be a Menace... aims to spoof "urban/gangsta/growing up in the hood" films, a genre which (like Scream), has already become a parody of itself. There are zero laughs in this stupid, stupid movie -- unless "homies drinkin' 40s" with their pants a-fallin' strikes you as a particularly insightful parody.
