Movies on DVD: I’m Gonna Git You Sucka

I have a special place in my heart for well done parody and spoof movies, and I’m Gonna Git You Sucka certainly qualifies. It’s a shame that more recent fare from director Keenan Ivory Wayans is certainly not as good and falls a lot lower on the ladder. In this film, he takes the lead role as Jack Spade as well as writes and directs. Somehow he manages to keep a straight face even when listening to or saying some of the most ridiculous lines ever written. Of course, like any good spoof though, so many of the jokes are placed subtley in the background of the picture; be sure to pay attention during the urban games segment (featuring such events as fleeing with a television). The plot itself is pretty weak, and serves as merely a mechanism to move Spade to the next humorous locale; of course the movie knows this and even takes a few shots at itself through villain Mr. Big (John Vernon). If you’ve ever seen and enjoyed Airplane, The Naked Gun, or any serious blaxploitation movie for that matter, you will find something to laugh at in this all-together too ridiculous tale of the happenings in “any ghetto, USA.”

My IMDB Rating: 6 Stars
