Malibu's Most Wanted (2003)

I thought it was a movie where a Kid that thought it was Cool where kidnapped, to Lern that he isn't cool, THAT Would be Interesting... But, it totally Leaves the context. (spoiler): In the beginning, it looks Like he was Actually kidnapped, but, As the movie went on, It was no longer a kidnap. He went to a rap-Party, he Kissed one of the "kidnappers".. The Kidnappers actors are Bad Trained. After realizing That the Kidnap was a Total fail. then the Actors just start to chill. And he just gets more stupid. He Joins a Gang. and make Friendship with bad Peaple. AND THE WORST PART, B-RAD TOUGHT THAT THIS ALL WAS A JOKE. I Really like Comedy Movies, But this one, was Terrible. You'll waste 86 minutes of your life.

John Leguizamo may want us to forget that he made Night Owl. Denise Richards would probably like to buy up and burn all copies of Tammy and the T-Rex, and Demi Moore would probably vehemently deny ever making Parasit. I just wonder how many stars in this film would want us to forget that they were in it.Of course, I only watched it to see Christa Campbell in her small part, but there were some favorites in there also like Taye Diggs (Rent, Equilibrium), Kal Penn (Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle), and Anthony Anderson (Cradle 2 the Grave, Romeo Must Die).To see any of these, I had to suffer through the most ridiculous film that I can imagine. I'm sorry, but it was just painful. It wasn't funny, and I will never intentionally watch anything with Jamie Kennedy again. He goes on my list of Most Hated People in Film.

At first I though this was going to be a very good movie. I've seen Jamie Kennedy in other movies and TV shows and he seems like a really good and funny actor. But after watching this movie, I don't think he had given it his all like he had in other films.Let me be frank, the movie was good but it didn't have that formula to make it a blockbuster. There weren't too many funny parts in the movie unless you count Jamie's crew. I don't think that this movie should have got a 4.8 out of 10, it's not that bad. I at first though it would get a 5.5 to 6.5 as a rating, but I was surprised. This isn't that bad of a movie, it's watchable.So if you're bored one night, go to the video store and pick up a few movies including this one, you might just enjoy this flick.My rating : 3/5

Malibu's Most Wanted stars Jamie Kennedy as Bradley "B-Rad" Gluckman, prominently featured in his hidden camera show on the WB. B-Rad is a Jewish-American living the high life in Malibu, yet him and his white friends all act black and embrace hip-hop culture. B- Rad's unwanted rap performances causes problems for his father's governor campaign, so the campaign team hires two black actors to stage a kidnapping on B-Rad and attempt to "scare him black" by taking him through the SoCal hood.Kennedy performs his role very well and makes a hilarious character (He could use more work like this, not crap such as Son of the Mask), reflecting the "white suburban adolescent hiphop fan" demographic of America to a T. Anderson and Diggs play PJ and Sean, the two black Julliard actors that learn how to be "hood" in order to make their scam on B-Rad authentic. Joining them is Shandra (Hall) who actually lives in Compton (I think, w/e, some LA hood), who lets them stay in her house for the weekend.One of the funniest things in the film is the stark contrast between B-Rad and Sean & PJ, as B-Rad thinks he's black despite being white, whereas Sean and PJ are black but act very "white", i.e. proper grammar, nice clothes, expensive schooling, etc. Watching Sean and PJ perfect their gangsta personas is quite funny.I won't go any deeper into the characters and their actors, I will say that they all did a good job though. One thing that bothered me though was why Shandra got with B-Rad, it makes hardly any sense...it was bad romance on the writer's part. Other than that it flows decently plot-wise. This isn't a drama though, it's a comedy, so humor is where it matters. This movie was very funny, I was laughing out loud the entire first half. It's got a bunch of great scenes, and one-liners ("Heads or tails?" "Tizizails! .......I want tails, please.") I didn't feel the second half was too strong, as they spent too much time trying to wrap the plot up, not enough time on humor, but all in all it was still pretty funny. The only thing I thought was really stupid was the talking rat? What the hey? Were they just trying to get a part for Snoop Dogg to play?All in all, it's worth watching, and I'd watch it again. To appreciate the humor, one has to be familiar with white kids posing as blacks and some hip-hop culture, which might account for some of the lower ratings I've seen on here.
