Pootie is such an original, utterly absurd conception that, however one may hesitate over superfluous matters of good taste or (horrors!) political correctness, anyone with an ounce of humor will find it impossible not to succumb in gales of laughter.

Its humor tires not too long after the beginning credits have finished rolling.

It would've made a great 30-minute comic short. Most of the film is padding.

Good for a couple of well-earned laughs but ultimately overstays its welcome.

Writer-director Louis C.K. (I wouldn't give my correct name either) was named on Entertainment Weekly's "It List," proving that entertainment is in a bad way.

It seems as if the studio thought they had a black Austin Powers, while in fact what they have is more like a black Dude, Where's My Car?.

A bona fide cult object in the making.

There are bad movies, there are disappointing movies, and then there's Pootie Tang, a movie so incompetent, it almost defies description.

This astonishingly unfunny Paramount comedy is burdened with writing, direction and acting that would cause Ed Wood to wince.
July 02, 2001
A pretty inspired and consistently witty satirical skewering of three decade's worth of macho black pop cultural clichés.

Pootie Tang works, in part, because it doesn't. Which is to say the movie's special success is inextricable from the moments where it blatantly fails. The movie exerts a beguiling charm that can only be explained as the je ne sais quoi of sa da tay.

Mostly an amusing exercise in black vernacular, searching for a point.
