Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood (1996)

Film · 1996 · 89 min · R · Comedy · Crime

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.

When Ashtray moves to South Central L.A. to live with his father (who appears to be the same age he is) and grandmother (who likes to talk tough and smoke reefer), he falls in with his gang-banging cousin Loc Dog, who along with the requisite pistols and Uzi carries a thermo-nuclear warhead for self-defense. Will Ashtray be able to keep living the straight life?

Directed by Paris Barclay

Starring Shawn Wayans, Marlon Wayans, Tracey Cherelle Jones, Chris Spencer, Vivica A. Fox, Lahmard J. Tate, Rappin' Granny, Suli McCullough
