Pootie Tang Audience Reviews

LouHomey From my favorite movies..
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
akafilms This is my latest pick for worst film ever made. Congratulations to C.K. for convincing anyone to make this let alone letting him direct. Hollywood is in a sad state of confusion regarding what is funny or commercial. They have always been out of touch with minorities and this proves it. I just saw part of it and it is unwatchable. To think all these talented actors participated and embarrassed themselves with the worst acting possible. The director ultimately has to take the blame. I feel sorry for anyone who wasted $8 and 3 hours going to the movies to see this. It's a wonder that Louis CK has any career left as this would usually sink it. This gives hope to all the real filmmakers who can actually write and direct. This film gives me hope that I will succeed in creating a film worth watching, entertaining and meaningful. Even the outtakes during credits are boring.
eeax2 Louis C.K conceived of the story which would become Pootie Tang on Long Island, where man, in the person of a crew of Dutch sailors, was placed "face to face for the last time in history with something commensurate to his capacity for wonder." That was in the spring of 1924. He wrote most of it, though, in a villa above St. Raphaël on the Riviera, with Roman and Romanesque aqueducts within sight, and beneath a skyline that reminded him of Shelley's Eugenean Hills. There was a beach where he swam daily, and came to know a group of young French naval aviators. Otherwise, he worked steadily at what he jokingly spoke of to friends as "a script better than any script written in America." By late October the script was ready to be mailed to Maxwell Perkins, his editor at Scribner's.He knew very well that Pootie Tang was far finer than anything he had attempted before. In April, on the eve of his departure for Europe, he told his limo driver "I cannot let it go out unless it has the very best I am capable of in it or even as I feel sometimes, something better than I am capable of." He would not be alone in that feeling; many would say that the novel possessed the "Fitzgerald" glamor, but also "a kind of mystic atmosphere at times." They may have been remembering C.K's words in that April letter: "So in my new script I'm thrown directly on purely creative work—not trashy imaginings as in my stories but the sustained imagination of a sincere yet radiant world."
wegen I hate this movie, since the first couple of minutes time went slower and slower. Acting is awful even from Mr. Rock, I don't know has he ever acted good, but not in this movie anyway. Script is the most stupidest I'v ever seen. When I borrowed this movie I thought "Hey this might be some low-brain-activity-movie" but it turned out to be waste-of-my-money-and-never-getting-that-time-back-movie. I hope no one else does this horrible mistake of borrowing or buying this movie. I tell you all, this movie sucks and it doesn't suck in a normal "teenage-comedy" kind a way but a "plain-stupid" kind a way.Thanks a lot Mr. Rock and MTV for wrecking my life.
mj23cg69 This movie is so funny i see it every time i get the chance. Pootie tang speaks in the strangest language that makes it kind of fun to try to figure out what he says The girls go crazy for him and the bad guys fear him cause he can whip anyones ass with just his belt. That is just funny as h*ll when a guy dances to funny music and whoops five, six, guys with guns with only his belt.This movie is the funniest movie ever. gotta see. when i first saw this movie i had to tell all my friends about it, i told my brother first and waited until it came out on HBO and told him when it was on so he could watch it, he said, "that movie is stupid" and i admit it, it is a stupid movie but funny as hell, so i told him but it did make you laugh and of course it did it made him laugh a lot, and then i showed it to other friends and it made all of them laugh cause its just that freaking funny
