New York Daily News - Jami Bernard
Pretty thin feature-film subject. But the silliness is so contagious that it doesn't matter.

Village Voice - Dennis Lim
Weirdest, funniest studio release of the summer so far and a bona fide cult object in the making.

The New York Times - A.O. Scott
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.

Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
Amiably silly.

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