Pretty thin feature-film subject. But the silliness is so contagious that it doesn't matter.

Weirdest, funniest studio release of the summer so far and a bona fide cult object in the making.

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.
