Critic Reviews

  • Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

    In many respects this is a black counterpart to The Naked Gun, and very nearly as funny; the bounty of antimacho gags is both unexpected and refreshing.

  • Wally Hammond, Time Out

    The greatest pleasure comes from seeing '70s veterans send themselves up.

  • Janet Maslin, New York Times

    I'm Gonna Git You Sucka is a lively but uncertain mixture of nostalgia, silliness and genuinely unpredictable humor.

  • Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

    Although, like all good satires, it is cheerfully willing to be offensive, it is almost completely incapable of being funny.

  • Rita Kempley, Washington Post

    It's not that Wayans lacks wit, it's that he's stomped it to death.

    Keenan my Man! This Movie has to be one of the Silly and Funniest Movies I have ever seen. Why wouldnt it be, Keenan never dissapoints me.

  • Cassandra M


    There are no words to describe just how amazing this film is. It salutes respectfully the blaxploitation era and the actors, with a clever hint of satire ( whereby the baddie is a White rich man, keeping black people down..) but most importantly it has the best jokes I have ever seen… More

    This one is pretty silly but there are some great things in it. Some of the jokes in this flick had me rolling. It has a great cast ans if you have watched enough of the type of movie it is making fun of you will enjoy it even more.
