Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood ?? 1995 (R)
Parody of “life in the hood” movies pokes fun at the attitudes and characters that are quickly becoming cliches in the genre. Shawn Wayans plays G-next-door Ashtray, sent by his mother to discover “what it is to be a man” from his father in South Central L.A. He hooks up with his homey Loc Dog (Marlon Wayans), a gun-crazed beer-swilling gangsta who packs a nuclear warhead. As the title implies, almost every major black film in recent memory is given the Wayans' drive-by treatment, with a majority of the plot lifted from “Boyz N the Hood.” Fans of the TV series “In Living Color” will love this twisted look at ghetto life, but others may be offended. 88m/C VHS, DVD .
