What Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood Is About
Ashtray moves into the inner city to live with his father and learns street life from his cousin Loc Dog and his grandmother. The film takes every convention of the early-nineties hood picture in order and turns all of them into farce. It is Paris Barclay's first feature. Shawn and Marlon Wayans star and wrote it. The targets are clear: Boyz n the Hood from 1991, Juice and South Central from 1992, and Menace II Society from 1993. Actors from those films appear in cameos, mostly parodying their original roles. It grossed 20.1 million dollars worldwide. Reviews split: Gene Siskel gave it a thumbs up and Roger Ebert a thumbs down. Rotten Tomatoes sits at 32 percent. It picked up a cult following afterwards. Who it is for: viewers who know the parody genre and the hood films of the nineties. Who it is not for: anyone who has not seen the films it targets. Most of the jokes reference scenes you would not recognise, and they land on nothing without that.
