Not since I'm Gonna Git You Sucka (1988) has a blaxploitation parody       been so ramshackle hilarious. Lance Crouther plays Pootie Tang, an inner-city    folk hero with a speech impediment, keeping kids away from cigarettes,           alcohol, and fast food. All is good in the hood until Pootie's positive        message threatens the profits of corporate villain Dick Lecter (Robert         Vaughn). A spin-off of The Chris Rock Show, many cast members            appear--Rock, Wanda Sykes, Mario Joyner--alongside other standout                stand-ups--Andy Richter, David Cross, Dave Attell, and Laura Kightlinger. To   Roger Ebert, Mr. "Pootie Tang is not bad so much as inexplicable,"       Louis C.K.---USA---2001---81 mins.
