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.
