Review of Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood (1996) by Jacquelyn R — 22 Jun 2011
Finally, the movie that proves that Justice isn't always Poetic, Jungle Fever isn't always pretty, and Higher Learning can be a waste of time.
Just a laugh out loud movie filled with some dark humor. It's rude, it's crude, it's in-your-face - and it's just a delight to watch. There's a couple of more Wayans in this movie besides the main characters Marlon and Shawn like Keenan the mailman and Kim Wayans as Mrs. Johnson, Damien Wayans as Cousin and Craig Wayans as Thug#1. Also appearances from the late Bernie Mac, Omar Epps, Vivica Fox and Faizon Love. Don't take it seriously people it's meant to be funny.
"Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking your Juice in the Hood" is a parody of a lot of Afro-American movies, for instance "Boyz N the Hood", "South Central", "Menace II Society", "Higher Learning" and "Juice". We follow Ashtray as he returns to the place he grew up in and meet his father and his basket-case friends. A lot of crazy stuff happens, for example, Ashtray is older than his father and his best friend Loc Dog's grandmother is a trigger-happy old lady who blames her eccentric-looking kid for not being tough enough.
