- It cracks on ALL of the ‘hood movies. With all the movies aimed at African-American youth that came out back in the day, the Wayans boys had a lot of movies to crib from.
- It gives audiences a taste of the zero-f**ks style of comedy the Wayans would unleash in the Scary Movie films. These is literally no joke left unexecuted in this movie, as it uses everything from visual gags — there’s one scene where a woman has a water cooler full of malt liquor in her kitchen — to elaborate, messy montages (there’s an obvious nod to 9 ½ Weeks where Ashtray and his girl go to the fridge and use Kool-Aid & hot sauce to lick off each other) in order to make you laugh.
- The movie makes a point about how cliché ‘hood movies were starting to get. Truth be told, this movie isn’t perfect. When it isn’t specifically making fun of ‘hood movies and just doing goofy stuff, in what looks like an attempt to pad this otherwise plotless movie’s 89-minute length, the jokes miss more than they hit.
- The soundtrack’s still fire. Remember back in the good ol’ days when movies had original soundtracks? This movie certainly had one. I actually still have a CD copy of it.
