Editorial Review:

Description:
From the creator of TV's IN LIVING COLOR, this outrageous comedy hit had critics and audiences roaring with laughter! From block parties and beepers to high-tops and high-powered weapons, it's everything that's funny about growing up in the 'hood ... the Wayans Brothers' neighborhood, that is! Marlon, Shawn (both from TV's THE WAYANS BROTHERS) and Keenen Ivory Wayans (A LOW DOWN DIRTY SHAME, TV's IN LIVING COLOR) get together and deliver a series of hilarious situations that all move to a hot hit soundtrack! Get ready for a good time, because there are plenty of laughs in this neighborhood!

Amazon.com:
This wants desperately to be an Airplane-like parody of inner-city African American gangsta movies. Instead, it offers us more turkey than we would find at any Thanksgiving spread. Unfunny, stereotypical, stupid, and crass, it was cowritten by Marlon and Shawn Wayans, both of whom should have known better. The two fare better as actors than writers, as they are almost amusing as hardened, dimwitted homeboys. As Ashtray, Shawn returns to his 'hood and hooks up with his best buddy (Marlon) before the two embark on a series of oh-so-wacky adventures. Siblings Keenen Ivory, Kim, and Craig Wayans also make appearances. If you really want a laugh, watch Booty Call. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Scary Movie in da Hood
After watching the featurettes on this, and finding out this a parody of hood movies like "menace to society" and "Boyz in da hood" etc... well, I gotta admit, I have never seen those movies. But this movie may be parodying those films, but the comedy of this movie is good enough that you do not even need to have seen those movies to have a good laugh at this film.

Even tho I haven't seen anything it's parodying, I still give it 4 stars for being funny as hell.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great spoof movie.
If your going to do a spoof movie, you have to have the Wayans in it. Taking a lot of In Living Color humor into spoofing all the 90's black movies is great. Menace II Society, Dead Presidents, Poetic Justice, Boyz N the Hood, Higher Learning and more are all lampooned. Very Funny



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great movie!!!
This is a great comedy and I would recommended it to anyone who likes to have a good laugh.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best comedy movie ever
Their other movies were good but this one is by far the best .
It,s none stop jokes and funny antics all the way , I just loved the bunny slippers & the simi auto pistol & I don`t want to leave out the van scene with the chick from hell roflmao . I own the vhs but want the dvd . So if you like strange / rauncy comedys this is the movie for you .



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The movie title alone, takes two hours to say
Before 'Scary Movie' the Wayans Brothers made this movie, 'Don't Be a Menace'. It is a spoof on movies like 'Boyz N the Hood' and 'Menace II Society', two great movies about the hoods in Los Angeles. I saw this movie when it first was released in theaters and now have watched this about 10 or 15 times. There's tons of crude humor, tons of profanity, tons of explicit sexual references and even some mock drug use. Everything you would expect to come out the pen of a Wayans brother. Don't get me wrong, ... Read More
