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

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?.

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

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.

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

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

A bona fide cult object in the making.

July 02, 2001
A pretty inspired and consistently witty satirical skewering of three decade's worth of macho black pop cultural clichés.

This astonishingly unfunny Paramount comedy is burdened with writing, direction and acting that would cause Ed Wood to wince.

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.
