Ratings System

Start with the plot from the Chris Farley movie, Black Sheep.  Add the ST-3 character from the Sinbad movie, Houseguest.  Mix in a parody of the Eminem movie, 8 Mile.  Shake it all up with the "hipness" of Jamie Kennedy and you end up with Malibu's Most Wanted.  In other words, don't come up with any new material, just redo everything that has been done before and remove the funny bits.  If that concept sounds hilarious to you, you've got problems.

This is a bomb.  No, it's not THE bomb, it's A bomb.  Will Hollywood ever learn that white guys acting black is not funny?  And black guys acting white is equally not funny.  It's tired, it's played.  And old white guys (I'm looking at you Steve Martin) acting black are especially not funny.

If I may paraphrase Brodie from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.  Ahem ... here's the comedy pulse.  And here's your movie finger, far from the pulse, shoved straight up your ass!
Nice try, rookies!
