Women can't resist him. Evil can't withstand him. He's the too hip hero with a style and a language all his own! Based on the hilariously unintelligible character who first appeared on "The Chris Rock Show," Pootie Tang (Lance Crouther) is a hit-record singing, criminal-empire busting rabbit fur shirt-wearing superhero idolized by kids and love starved women everywhere. But when Pootie's one man war against greed injustice and unwholesome consumer products starts cutting into profits at LecterCorp the company's demented CEO (Robert Vaughn) plunges the super dude into a super funk by swiping his magical villain-whupping belt! Can our hero pull himself up by the Poot straps? Will he buckle under the pressure? Will his new single go platinum? Find out--in this off-the-wall comedy sensation featuring Chris Rock in multiple roles!

Editor's Note
Taking a cue from Saturday Night Live, members of HBO's The Chris Rock Show make their first foray into the feature film arena with POOTIE TANG. Written and directed by SNL cowriter Louis C.K. and produced by Rock, the film reintroduces the character of Pootie Tang (Lance Crouther), an inner-city role model who has a speech impediment that makes him virtually impossible to comprehend. When corporate monster Dick Lecter (Robert Vaughn) learns that Pootie Tang's positive preaching is hurting the sales of his cigarettes, malt liquor, and fast food hamburger chains, he uses his sexy wife, Ireenie (Jennifer Coolidge), to lure Pootie Tang into signing an exclusive contract with him. This causes a Pootie Tang backlash, forcing him out of the inner-city, onto a farm, where he begins to accept his quiet new life. Luckily, his best friend, Trucky (J.B. Smoove), tracks him down in the nick of time, giving Pootie Tang the inspiration he needs to return to the city and reinstate order and optimism. More a series of loosely connected sketches than a straightforward story, POOTIE TANG nonetheless glides along smoothly, benefiting from appearances by some of America's funniest comedians--Rock, Andy Richter, David Cross, and Laura Kightlinger.

Pootie Tang is here to sepatown on the runny kind. The bitties need him to save the day and does he do it?........sa da tay. Pootie Tang takes the stuggles of today's black youth and gives them an altruistic hero to look up to. Pootie is the Charles Foster Kane for the year 2001. This is what the Lumere brothers had in mind when they invented moving pictures. Was this review helpful?
