Nathan Lee Village Voice 11/01/2011
Pootie Tang works, in part, because it doesn't. Which is to say the movie's special success is inextricable from the moments where it blatantly fails. The movie exerts a beguiling charm that can only be explained as the je ne sais quoi of sa da tay. Go to Full Review

A bona fide cult object in the making. Go to Full Review
Geoff Pevere Toronto Star 07/02/2001
A pretty inspired and consistently witty satirical skewering of three decade's worth of macho black pop cultural clichs. Go to Full Review

'Pootie Tang' seems to have all the earmarks of a film that suffered from too many cooks adding their own special ingredients. Go to Full Review

Jo M Nov 25 Another example of why not to listen to critics. This movie is a cult classic and if you are a fan of blaxploitation films, you will love this.

See more Carlos G Feb 19 In order to recover my USDT assets from a fraudulent investment platform that I became familiar with through their broker agent on LinkedIn, I would like to sincerely thank you and your team for all of your hard work. A month ago, when I chatted with you, I had no idea what I was getting myself into.The speed with which you were able to retrieve my USDT assets from the crooks surprised me. At first, I was somewhat dubious because I had never heard of anyone, let alone a company that could track down and recover digital assets that had been lost due to fraudulent activities. I sought help from the agent and their support department when my withdrawal request was denied. To my dismay, however, they kept requesting a settlement of some kind before I could take my money out. I looked up "Digital assets recovery solutions" online after a coworker advised me to do so. I was about to lose hope after reading through a dozen or so different firm and recovery agent information until I came across your RECOVERY NERD information and found the reviews to be encouraging. Since no warning signs were raised, I made the decision to get in touch. Everything that can be done to recover my digital assets and enhance my financial status was covered in a simple, informal talk. I accepted their offer since I thought it sounded wonderful. In just three days of hard work on the RECOVERY NERD; team part, my USDT assets were successfully recovered from the scam platform. I realize not everyone has the same recovery problems but you folks were fast and really worked for me and am assured your services will help many others as well, you can contact the firm using their contact information below, Email : RECOVERYNERD @ MAIL .

I can see how it’s not for everyone, but if you don’t take yourself too seriously, or this movie then it is an absolute treasure. I watch it several time a year. Sa da tay!! See more Read all reviews
