The Wash

watching "the wash" is kind of an odd experience. you laugh, you like the characters, but you wonder what the plot is really supposed to be. the jokes are there, so "the wash" is definitely a funny movie. in that respect, i enjoyed it. it seems that when d.j. pooh co-wrote the classic "friday" with ice cube, he definitely knew how to create hilarious situations and funny roles. but when he's on his own ("3 strikes" was his previous solo effort), something doesn't quite come off right. my main problem with "the wash" is the VERY ABRUPT ending. everyone will be like, "okay...it's over". they don't even bother to really wrap things up. it's just BAM...credits. the ending is weak, it could have been better. they set it up like the end of "next friday", where a couple different antagonists are brought into one situation at the same time. but the audience doesn't get much of a payoff. as chris rock might put it, "the wash" will take your clothes off, but will not f*** you.

I must admit, I was quite excited about the idea of DRE and SNOOP starring together in a full length movie. They work so well with each other. The short flick they made as an opener to the UP IN SMOKE Concert Tour last year was a riot! It had hot chicks, good laughs, and style. It's too bad they didn't do something more like that for their first feature length film together. The Problem with THE WASH is in the writing. DRE and SNOOP deserved a much better storyline. The plot of THE WASH was just too goofy!! And it ends so abruptly (after going through a whole silly story) that the end is no payoff. Actually when the credits start to roll, they show DRE'S smooth video for BAD INTENTIONS, so that made up for the quick ending. In watching BAD INTENTIONS, it made me wonder why they didn't elaborate on that idea for a DRE and SNOOP movie, where the duo end up at a fancy whorehouse and encounter endless crazy mishaps. It could be like a wacky PORKY'S for the new millenium with the kings of rap and their smooth antics leading the way. SO if anyone over at AFTERMATH is reading this, let's write it! DRE and SNOOP are both talented writers (which shows in their creative rhymes), They should perhaps co-write the next movie they star in. DRE and SNOOP are both on good game with their acting in THE WASH. It's just too bad that the material they had to work with wasn't strong enough. TOMMY CHONG also makes a hillarious cameo in the film...If you have heard DRE'S hot CHRONIC 2001 CD, you'll recall CHONG did a hillarious skit at the end of the disc...Well his Cameo in the flick is just as funny!!

THE WASH is worth checking out of you are a fan of DRE and SNOOP, like me, But for the rest, the silly plot may make the movie a WASHout. Atleast we got 3 new DRE tracks (2 together with Snoop) to give the movie some bounce. I look forward to the duo re-teaming for another film (and album of course)...BAD INTENTIONS: THE Movie All the way!!

Hi

I saw this on my local canal+ and boy was this a great movie or what !!

Dr.Dre and Snoop are just great love their roles, and the guest apperence by eminem he is very cool.

Last the music in the movie, its so bad ass. I love it !!

I hope that Dr.Dre and Snoop will make others like it...

Let's keep this simple, Dr.Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem and others are better singers than actors. That said it was funny watching them and I guess they had a lot of fun watching it themselves whilst smoking some weed. They're Hip Hop legends, swimming in money, and probably thought it would be fun to make a movie. I can't blame them but realisticly the movie oozes amateurism. But if you are a West Coast Hip Hop fan you will have some fun listening and watching them even if the story isn't really worth the detour. The comedy is just them talking like they record songs, that's always funny. The ratings are about right for this movie, I didn't regret watching it but I won't watch it again.

Dre, Snoop, Corrupt, and Eminem, what a lineup,, the wash was a pretty decent movie about a pair of guys who get hired at a Car Wash so they can make some legitimate dough. the brothers are hired, without the owner knowing that they were brothers, and one brother is put in charge of the other one,, he has to keep him on the straight and narrow, and at one point geth the other brother suspended from his job. later on the boss keeps getting death threat phone calls and is kidnapped from the car wash, the rest of the boys at the wash must team up and get their boss back from the maniac who has taken him,, special appearance by Emenim at the end was hilarious.
