Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood

1h 28m 1996

Brief Synopsis

Read More

Once in a great while, a movie about America comes along that is so disturbing it makes us care. It makes us think. And it makes tons of money. From Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans, the creators of "In Living Color," comes a motion picture about two brothers trying to make a statement. They're discovering that justice isn't poetic. Jungle fever isn't always pretty. And higher learning can be a total waste of time. It's a world where family values are still cherished and a steady job is the key to the future. In the tradition of NAKED GUN, AIRPLANE and I'M GONNA GIT YOU SUCKA, DON'T BE A MENACE TO SOUTH CENTRAL WHILE DRINKING YOUR JUICE IN THE HOOD is a parody of 'hood movies of the last five years.
