Pootie Tang may be raw and slovenly -- hey, it often is raw and slovenly -- but it succeeds as a laugh getter because of the spot-on satirical notes. You might say that the movie walks it like it talks it; I'm not sure what Pootie would say.

Amiably silly.

The movie's comic powers are often marred by silliness and stereotypes. Pootie tanks.
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.

Has the distinction of being one of the most amateurish features ever released by a major studio.
