Pretty thin feature-film subject. But the silliness is so contagious that it doesn't matter.

Pootie is anti-corporation, anti-drug, and doesn't swear in his lyrics. he is one of the best role models

Acouple of well-earned laughs but ultimately overstays its welcome.

Too often is as garbled as Pootie's own jargon.

By the end, Pootie Tang feels as long as Kevin Costner's "Wyatt Earp."

One bad movie -- in the original sense of the word.

The overall film is hideously grating, thanks to an inconsistent look, animated titles all over the place, excessive explanatory commentary and abrasive R&B videos inserted throughout.

Pootie Tang is a classic. I can't help but wonder if the negative reviews from critics are really just typical "we've lost touch" type of deal? Or are they lighting their virtue signals because Louis CK wrote this? Regardless, it's a super fun, silly movie. I can see how some might not dig its vibe, but I enjoyed it.

Es la peor película que he visto hasta el momento, a pesar de ser de comedia no me he reído ni una sola vez, creo que es por eso que justamente el género de comedia es infravalorado, por películas como estas, la única razón por la que esta película vio la luz, es por los contactos de algunos actores y actrices medio conocidos, los había visto en otras películas de comedia que son malas, pero podría afirmar que este por mucho es su peor trabajo. Lo único que podría decir a favor es que intenta dejar un buen mensaje, el cual es, ser respetuoso y cuidar de nuestro cuerpo y el de los demás, pero lo hacen tan mal que más que fomentar esas características logran lo opuesto. Pésimo.
