Hilarious and smart, an underrated movie destined to be a classic farce.
I didn't expect to like Booty Call. On the surface it seemed like just another ghetto comedy, however, it's actually a clever sex farce that shows African-Americans in a positive light. In between the raunchy jokes there are some great messages in this intelligent story about safe sex and relationships between African-Americans.
This was a cute movie
this was a cute date movie or a movie where you might want to invite a guy over to look at as you eat chineese food with some plum wine. As a Jamie Foxx lover this movie would have suffered if he was not in it. he made the movie. that is why i wanted to look at this movie. i would like to see him and Vivica Fox do another movie. actually, i can see them do a fun Doris Day/Rock Hudson remake, like "Pillow Talk" at least Jamie can use his musical skills in it. if a producer reads this, i hope they would really consider that because they make a nice acting pair and i would love to see them do more movies together. i truly enjoyed this movie. really cute.

Without Jamie Foxx, this movie would be awful
Jamie Foxx was the perfect pick for the role of 'Bunz.' He captures his personality perfectly and truly demonstrates why he is one of the funniest men alive. Tommy Davidson was funny but not as funny as we're used to seeing him, Vivica A. Fox was so so, and Tamala Jones was so so as well. Jamie Foxx carries this movie on his back and the whole condom aspect wouldn't be as funny had it not been for Jamie Foxx. A must see for Jamie Foxx fans! ... Read more

Editorial Review

Spike Lee's semiautobiographical, 1994 film about the good and bad times for a Brooklyn family in the '70s has passion and nostalgic good feeling, but it is also a mess of random reflections and arbitrary storytelling. The centerpiece of the movie is a little girl (Zelda Harris) who views the ups and downs of her parents' experiences (mom and dad are played by Delroy Lindo and Alfre Woodard), and who navigates the life of her neighborhood. Lee tosses in a lot of '70s detail (watching Read more

in my opinion a classic movie by da underrated delroy lindo and alfrie woodard
this is one of my all time favorite movies produced by spike lee i would watch this film when i was about to go to harlem, new york to visit my family since crooklyn was a new york joint the movie starts off very funny when delroy blew his horn to call his children in for dinner however the ending is one of the most depressing finishes in film history when alfrie passed on i craved to witness crooklyn 2 to see how was the family doing a couple of years later that would have been nice to watch it could have starred almost the same cast but also included a few new faces eddie murphy as the next door neighbor since he is from brooklyn richard pryer or bill cobsy as the children's grandfather and rube d as the grandmother crooklyn was a black version of the brandy bunch from the ghetto because delroy and alfrie had a lot of children their daughter troy was the only girl in the house therefore alfrie decided it would be best that troy went to virgina to spend half the summer with her aunt, uncle, and girl cousin so would have someone the same sex as her she can relate with so as u can probably tell troy was the third person to still in this movie after delroy and alfrie

no title
Another wonderful film of Spike Lee's.Reminiscent of "Do The Right Thing" with the neighborhood flavor, odd characters, a richness of detail and editing.But expecting it to be funny and light, I was disappointed.The family was always fighting and Alfre Woodard always yelling at her sons.I do have trouble with that.But they all seemed to love one another and the episode of Troy with her southern aunt was very well done, except for the odd way it was filmed.And the little girl who played Troy was effective in her role.Woodard is a truly gifted actress.I've liked her in everything she's been in.She should've gotten an Oscar for "Passion Fish".It never ceases to amaze me- the range of films that Lee has made.All of them good; most of them exceptional.Only Woody Allen comes close to such a body of work.Lee's characters are just so believable in their humanness.It's like you're looking into their lives and troubles and joys.

Crooklyn hits home
As you can see, I loved the movie (I did give it 5 stars right?) I think, for the people who did not enjoy it, it was more of the fact that they didn't understand it or were too critical.

Editorial Review

Comedian Chris Rock makes a raucous return to his stand-up roots in this HBO special filmed at Harlem's legendary Apollo Theater.Despite his manic and profane delivery, Rock's comedy is often rooted in traditional subjects for comedians: family relationships, misunderstandings between men and women, and observations on how childhood has changed.But he takes his material right to the edge, proving himself to be a sharp-eyed satirist.Serious and timely issues, such as school shootings or children being neglected by partying parents, are tackled by Rock, who's not afraid to slip in a serious point while being hysterically funny.His defense of President Clinton against his accusers is a good example of how Rock's material is almost always bound to offend someone: he slices through the self-righteous rhetoric of the impeachment spectacle, but even the behavior he defends comes in for ridicule with jokes that are extremely funny as well as extremely coarse.The pace of this one-hour show is uneven, and some viewers will no doubt find Rock's penchant for using profanity as punctuation tiresome.But those who like intelligent comedy with a hard edge will find much to laugh at in Read more

The Funniest Man in America -- Time Magazine
Clocking in at just over one hour
Another Classic
This was just as funny as Bring the Pain. Chris Rock does better at stand up than he ever did in sketch comedy or movies. He is a natural social commentator and that's what makes a great comedian. Brilliant!

Chris Rock is a funny guy
I have enjoyed most Chris Rock movies and so I decided to check out one of his comedy acts.For the most part, it was pretty funny.$5,000 bullets, "crazy" kids, bad parenting and more - it hit on a lot of great subjects.Some of his subject matter was a little much for me, and make no mistake about it, this would easily be an "R" rating if it were rated for the generous helping of profanity in the act.Other than that, I thought it was okay. ...

It was funny, well 5 years ago
Speaking generally the video was funny but @ the best of times comdey is timely and despite the copyright showing a 1999 date the actual content is from 1996!!!!!!!!!!!!!!This annoyed me!!!!!!Apart from that it is kinda funny there are a few big names like.... Who is it Tucker or Rock- I have not seen the tape
I have a question, Why does the title say ChrisRock ANd Bernie and your advertising this as chris tucker?Is Chris Tucker on this tape or not.. I would like to order the tape but I don't like chris Rock please let me know what is accurate or not

Editorial Review

Sassy, in-your-face account of an intelligent, flippant Brooklyn girl who lives in the projects and dreams of college. Ariyan Johnson is captivating as the teen with attitude and a brain, but she cannot decide which should guide her. She wants a better life but finds herself taking a very hard road. First-time writer/director Leslie Harris put together a sharp, realistic, very funny account of life for a young black woman. It is rough around the edges, however, and is definitely hampered by the minuscule budget. This may not always be pretty, but it is consistently interesting. Read more

great movie
I first saw this movie 10 years ago, I was happy to see it made it to dvd. This a great movie to watch with your teenagers.To bad there aren't more movies like thisone. Chantel was a typical teenager who had alot of dreams to become a doctor but she got pregnant. This movie really sends a message to parents with young daughter Chantel's age. We really need to talk to our children, instead of young girls doing what Chantel did they can go to there parents to talk about it.

I loved this movie, I wish it had full nudity
I saw this movie only once ten years ago and fell in love with it. I thought it was well acted and I could relate to Chantell's character. I love the music and I just loved the movie I knew every word by heart. All the things this girl goes through. Chantell deals with trying to live a life of her own but also having to take responsibility for her family life as well. She wanted her baby to be thrown in the trash. She always talks about going to college but with her additude she won't go anywhere.
Something to think about
This movie really made you open your eyes and think about the consequences of sex. I saw it 10 years ago when I was sixteen and the movie really made me think twice about having sex. I just wish someone would make a movie like that in 2004 about Read more

Editorial Review

Sort of comedy, sort of not, this film--cowritten, coproduced, and co-starring Damon Wayans--concerns a loser who takes an entry-level job at a credit company to impress a girl and soon gets caught up in fraud and blackmail. Marlon Wayans, Damon's brother, costars as a confederate in the chicanery. The film is meant to be both a jokefest and an edgy drama--the criminal activity is treated as a dark and serious matter--and the result is that Read more

A good watch i was entertain, and had a good laugh... can't really complainwhen it comes to the wayans brothers

More funny than one would expect.
It really wasn't so bad.As far as Wayans brothers come and go, Damon is one of the funniest.The film manages to blend convincing moments of tension and drama amidst occasional moments of hilarity.And believe it or not, there is actually a plot.It's one of the more genuinely amusing films to come out of the "new jack swing" era, and way funnier than anything in the Scary Movie franchise.That's fo sho.

Ghost Brother
I saw this at PSR,the old place when we were at 120 W.Kearsley. I was a member for the first time. It had Kadeem hardeseen? from A Diffrent World,What happened to him anyway? He loses his brother and team mate from a heart attack on the basketball court,and he leaves his brother alone.

One great movie
The movie was great i mean it touched you in a deep way because you could imagine whta happen in the movie to you. My advice is buy this movie you won't regret it.

A&K all the way!!!!!
This is a touching comedy starring Kadeem Hardison (A Different World), and Marlon Wayans (In Living Color, The Wayans Brothers).Kenny(Wayans) and Antoine(Hardison) are brothers who have been through everything together.Including the death of their beloved father who taught them "You can get through anything if you stick together".They play for the same college basketball team, The Huskies. A&K all the way is their battle cry, and they play well off of each other with Antoine being the star player.During a game Antoine goes down, and he has to be rushed to the hospital.Kenny tries to rush to the hospital after the game, but finds out that Antoine dies.Kenny has to go on with is life without his brother and it's not easy.At one point he prays and he tells his late brother how much he needs him in his life.Strange but funny things start to happen.After a game win Kenny is hugging his brother, everyone is looking at him like he has totally flipped. To cover it up he claims he is hugging himself.

a pleasant suprise
I was very suprised when I saw this film on cable some years ago. The storyline is not that predictable and there are plenty of laughs.I remember seeing Roger Ebert and the late Gene Siskel skewering this film particularly Halle Berry for portraying black women in a "negative manner".I had to disagree with their review totally.

I was foolish for renting this film.I like Eddie Griffin, he is talented, and funny so I was kind of hoping it would be kind of decent.Huge mistake!!!This is NOT a must see movie.The only thing you can do is leave this film on the shelves.

Not as good as his stand-up
Saturday Night Live is a GOLD MINE of comic material. What a great American institution. There must be hundreds of hours of classic comedy footage of great comedians on the show.
Average At Best
Even though he was a cast member on "Saturday Night Live" for only three years, Chris Rock gave the show enough great moments to give him a comprehensive collection of his best material. Wrong.
Could've Been Better
As one of "Saturday Night Live's"most famous comedians, Chris Rock created a long line of classic characters and impressions in his 3 years on the show. But many of them are missing. A few recurring sketches are here, but they are from when he hosted the show. Read more

Hilarious! Hysterical!
After eight years of ignoring this movie - primarily due to the negative reviews it got - I finally got to see it the other night on TV. I laughed non-stop. It's a typical story of a blind date that seems doomed for failure but ends in romance. As saccharine as the end of the movie may be and as cynical and jaded I may well be, I'm not ashamed to say I had tears in my eyes as the end credits rolled. I thought it was great. Not all movies are made to answer some of life's most puzzling questions. Not all movies are supposed to be 'intelligent' or 'thought-provoking'. Not all movies are made to change the world. Some movies are made for us to be able to sit back for one and a half hours, forget all our troubles and just have a good scream. This is one of those movies and I'm getting the DVD. I can't wait to watch it again.
This film is good.
I believe that this is a very funny film.Chappelle(sp?), Davidson, Pinkett-Smith.This is a very peaceful film because all the shots are done at night.
A waste of film
I'm sorry, but this movie was NOT good at all.There were some moments where I chuckled, but this movie really was WOOOOOOO TERRIBLE. Wait for it to come on TV. ... Read more

Sa da tay! Pootie Tang is O-Kay
"Pootie Tang" is the ultimate guilty pleasure film. Sometimes I ask myself, "Why do I laugh at this?" I don't know why, but it's crazy. Chris Rock has done well on this movie. I don't know how you come up with a story about a funny talking super hero. Throughout the whole movie, this guy is saying a thing that doesn't make any sense, but the characters surrounding him all understand. How do you come up something like that?!? And put it into a feature film!!! One liners like "sa da tay" and "sine your pity on the runny kine", are classics.
Dirty Dee, you're a baddy daddy lamatai tabby chai!
One thing i have to say, is that this movie is completely stupid.Everything about it is just insane, and uncomprehendable, but you know what?Thats why i LOVE IT.I can always rely on this movie when i want to watch something that has a complete taste for stupidity.
Modern Day Minstrel Show
Pootie Tang is one of the most steryotypical minstrel movies in existance. Pootie tang, the main character, speaks in ebonics (he's too dumb to speak English, apparently) and he fights using a stupid magical belt. His great rap song that has no words or music, just silence, is almost the director saying that black people will listen to anything and call it music. This movie is deeply offensive and shallow in nature. Buy a copy, and then go stomp on it. ... Read more
