Le rappeur de Malibu

Being a huge fan of `The Jamie Kennedy Experiment,' I eagerly awaited the release of `Malibu's Most Wanted,' a big-screen, feature-length version of one of Jamie's character skits. Often described as a `Candid Camera' meets `Saturday Night Live' type of show, Jamie dons make-up and disguises in effort to pull pranks on trusting people. I have always considered his white rapper character, Brad Gluckman, to be one of my favorites, and always felt he didn't portray Brad, or `B-Rad,' nearly enough as he should.

I was very pleased with how the movie turned out. It was a refreshing escape from the all-too-common war movies and horror-dramas of late. You can't help but feel for the confused white rapper who thinks his rhymes are 'the shiznit' and that he's just as 'down' as anyone else he may encounter on the other side of the tracks.

If I could give it stars, I'd give it five out of 5. On a scale from one to ten, with ten being best, I'd give it a 10. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up.

Go see "Malibu's Most Wanted" if you're in the mood for a light-hearted, authentic comedy.

And to all of those who haven't accepted "Malibu's Most Wanted" as an awesome movie... Don't be hatin'!

Surprisingly funny even for a jokey movie. The acting was decent and the storyline had a few unique moments. Not terribly hokey. Just keep expectations low and enjoy the few hits.

MBW is one of those movies that is humorous because the characters are kinda stupid but funny. Kennedy plays the seemingly stereotypical role of "black-wannabe-gangsta-trapped-in-white-boy's-body", but i think we've seen this role in movies quite too often (actually Mitch Mullany did a better job in The Breaks). The definitely could've done a better job w/ the plot line, but I suppose they did a good job by using the equation character stupidity = loads of laughs. I think they made Kennedy's character more stupid than he deserved to be. Then again, the whole movie I think was just a big tease about how a lot of kids nowadays (whether from the 'hoods of Compton or Malibu) are trying to emulate the lifestyles/persona of real hip-hop stars. It was a silly yet funny movie, I think more of the "crack-up-laughing" kind of movie vs. lighthearted humor (like Sandler's Anger Management). So yes, don't expect a strong story but go there for the laughs. One note though, they should've made Snoop Dogg's dialogue more like the way he really talks/raps...it seemed a bit "censored" to me...perhaps they did it to make the PG-13 cut. For shizzos, my nizzos. Don't be hatin'! :)

** out of 5 for storyline ***** out of 5 for laugh factor

This movie is not for everyone. The story is pretty weak and the humor is very age oriented. The movie was very humorous if you enjoy the white man who thinks he's a black man humor. The most amusing piece of the movie is the dialogue that is spoken by B-Rad (Jaime Kennedy). Jaime Kennedy does a very good job portraying B-Rad,the ghetto like white boy. It comes across as hilarious because everyone finds it amussing except him. IF you are looking for a good laugh, and you like that type of humor, I would recommend going to see this movie.

When I walked into this feature I was expecting a very stereotypical movie towards black people. Fortunately, while watching, you don't really give a shizit about the story because you'll be to busy busting a gut at the hilarious jokes and acting. I thought Jaime Kennedy played the part better than anyone else could've and especially felt that Taye Diggs and Anthony Anderson were extremely funny as the not-so-bad-boy actors. If you watch the trailer and laugh at least once, you'll definetly enjoy this movie, but if you don't laugh at all, don't put up to much hope. For this movie, what you see is what you get. Nothing goes past trying to have background story or character development, it all stops at being funny. But hey, who in their right mind would go to this movie expecting a very well scripted story or well thought out movie moments. All this movie is is biddy-dee-bang-bang comedy/action. Nothing more, nothing less. And luckily, that's all I care about.

I rate this movie as so:

Entertainment Value- 9/10 >>>>> Story / Premise- 4/10 >>>>> Script Writing- 7/10 >>>>> Acting- 8/10 >>>>> Directing- 6/10 >>>>> Overall- *7/10*
