Critics Consensus

Sloppily-made, amateurish, and scarce on laughs, The Wash can't compare to Richard Pryor's 1976 Car Wash.

Lisa Alspector

Chicago Reader

Two roommates start to antagonize each other after one becomes the other's superior at an LA car wash, and the conflict is played out with grittiness and flippancy.

Snoop, Dre and their buddies take it all in stride -- if they were any more laid-back, they'd be napping in their trailers.

Some energetic performances from the cast may make this accessible to a wider audience.

The Wash is a boring film. It is about life at the car wash is a place where anything can and does happen to two friends who are trying to earn money to pay their rent. Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg give disappointing performances. The screenplay is badly written. DJ Pooh did a horrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture.

I dont know why cats is hating this movie. Its not the best movie ever put out but as far as hood humor this shit is funny and i love it. Maybe its because i grew up lovin hip hop in the 90s and it has a cast of some of my favorite rappers snoop and dre, with appearances by Xzibit, ludacris shaq, chong, bruce-bruce D-bo from friday, got eminem calling throughout playin his slim shady persona and of course my all time celebrity crush angell conwel u got dj pooh playin the dumbass criminal who you gota laugh at pauly shore pops up in a truck for no reason at all. I dont care what anyone says this is a classic and a movie i can and have watched multiple times
