One you have to let simmer..., 5 November 2005
9/10

OK, so it's not the greatest. Watch it twice at minimum to get the full effect, just like "Napoleon Dynamite." Excellent humor, Chris Rock is a f$#$ing GENIUS and needs to make way more movies. Maybe he could get Lance to come back for "Tang 2: Hunt for Daddy's Belt." Then again, maybe he needs to stay away and focus on his stand up routine. In any event, this movie is a great time waster and one for the times when there really isn't much left to do. I can't think of another movie that made me laugh so much, once the point was made about Pootie's "problem."

Watch this with someone who has an open mind and doesn't mind laughing at stupidity. Entertaining people should be this easy in all movies.
