Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in The Hood wants desperately to be an Airplane-like parody of inner-city African American gangsta movies. Instead, it offers us more turkey than we would find at any Thanksgiving spread. Unfunny, stereotypical, stupid, and crass, it was cowritten by Marlon and Shawn Wayans, both of whom should have known better. The two fare better as actors than writers, as they are almost amusing as hardened, dimwitted homeboys. As Ashtray, Shawn returns to his 'hood and hooks up with his best buddy (Marlon) before the two embark on a series of oh-so-wacky adventures. Siblings Keenen Ivory, Kim, and Craig Wayans also make appearances. If you really want a laugh, watch Booty Call. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Now, I've purchased it on VHS, then upgraded to the bare bones DVD and the Unrated Collector's Edition DVD. When I saw it was on Blu Ray, I wanted it.. The picture is slightly better than the Unrated DVD and it has all the same bonus features + a music video..BUT, even though the Blu Ray is dubbing itself as the director's cut, it's the theatrical version which clocks in at 89 minutes..hence the original R-Rating . The Blu Ray cover lists it with a running time of 95 min, which is the unrated version's running time... More confusing, the Miramax Unrated DVD (released around 2007)indicates it's running time is 89 minutes, when it's really 94 minutes. Needless to say, if you have the Unrated Miramax DVD, don't bother upgrading to the Echobridge version, it's just the theatrical version with the unrated version's special features..
Great movie either way. Btw, I do applaud EB for making an effort to include special features, considering they're a budget label not known for bells and whistles.. Who knows, maybe the people that now own Miramax (it's not Disney) now demanded the inclusion.. However, these companies need to be a bit more diligent when they release products.. it's their job to give accurate descriptions about their products and features, so as to avoid class action law suits and recalls.. It's pretty sad when they say features and included and they aren't or post confusing info just in hopes to get an extra buck or two out of anxious collectors....I'm just sayin'...
