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.
A rich senator(Ryan O'Neal) and pending election and his wife(Bo Derek) manage for his son(Jamie Kennedy) to be abducted by a pair of actors with no job(Taye Diggs and Anthony Anderson) pretending to flop his scheme to become himself in famous rapper.Meanwhile he falls in love a beautiful young girl(Regina Hall).
The film is a bemused comedy providing solid,silly laugh which results to be a Jamie Kennedy recital.The picture relies heavily on the continuous humorous acting starring but it doesn't make bored but entertained .Relief comic is essentially at charge of Jamie Kennedy,besides the bad taste language and profanities but his foul and fast talking creates most big smiles and causing misfortune,bad luck and wreak-havoc on the way .The humor is sometimes absurd and cheese but gets its moments here and there from start to finish.Taye Diggs and Anthony Anderson as the stupidest kidnappers make a first rate couple. Appear known secondaries actors as Blair Underwood,Jeffrey Tambor,Damian Wayans(Wayans'family) and Bo Derek in a brief intervention, plus of famed rappers as Snoop Doggs. The picture is regularly directed by John Whitesell. It's an agreeable film for the rapper youth who will enjoy enormously with lots of fun. Rating : Average but amused.

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'!

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*

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.
