Review

It’s not the first blaxploitation satire we’ve seen (far from it), but Sanders and writer-star White come the closest to capturing the rough, lowbrow vibe of that beloved genre. The jokes are mostly easy, though—the result is less a movie and more a social lubricant, destined for cult-movie status.
