Who payed the critics

This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

I am a fan of rap music, the only type of music I listen to so I know Dr.Dre and Snoop Dogg very well, I have seen their previous movies. Before watching the movie, I knew it was going to be a horrible one, but not as bad as expected. The synopsis of the story is about two friends, Sean (Dr.Dre) and Dee Loc. Sean gets fired from his previous job and has no money and they also have a three day notice before they get evicted out of their house. With no job and desperation of money, Dee Loc insists that Sean comes to his work and try to get a job there, a car wash called "The Wash". The Wash is a type of place worked by dumb people who only steal from customers, smoke weed, chase girls, etc. As Sean goes there and takes opening assistant manager job from the owner of The Wash, Mr.Washington (George Wallace). At the same time, Mr.Washington is going through a hard time at The Wash getting threatening phone calls from a previous employee at The Wash who was recently fired, Chris (Eminem). The employees at The Wash cant believe Mr.Washington had fired Chris because they all knew Chris was crazy.The plot of the story was kind of stupid, but the actors did what they could to not make it as horrible as it would've been, except Snoop Dogg. And didn't like his acting like in all of his other movies, because almost at least 50% of the time, hes always a gangsta sort of type of person and it doesent seem to work in the movie. But there are some upsides to the movie. It actually delivered some okay humour especially from a character named "Slim" (DJ Pooh). His jokes are idiotic but has to make you laugh. But there are other jokes in the movie that don't execute due to it being played out. There are a lot of cameos such as Ludacris, Kurupt, Eminem, Xzibit and Shaquille O'Neal.After watching the movie I was at least pleased it wasn't that bad. The only thing for next time, don't make Snoop Dogg play the same role for a different movie again. 6/10

DJ Pooh ought to be ashamed of himself writing this debacle. And all involved should be embarrassed for signing on to do it. I know this isn't a remake of the Michael Schultz original. It better not be. Even the scenic similarities make this movie worse than it would have been as a stand alone film. But given how good "Car Wash" is, no one should have greenlighted "The Wash" if they had any decency or integrity for what good comedy is. I would have even been happier with a scene-for-scene remake over the story that "The Wash" uses. It would have been very interesting to see how the new faces would have played characters like T.C. and Abdullah. But perhaps that was too much to ask. I don't fault DJ Pooh for wanting to do something fresh and new with a throwback concept, but this effort is ridiculous. And to the people who see this as a good "black" comedy, please get a better sense of what that means. Good "black" comedy should follow the same quality guidelines as a good "white" one. Thinking otherwise does a disservice to viewers and the entire film industry. Unfortunately, there are many in control who don't care what idiots movies like "The Wash" and "Soul Plane" make black people out to be. Just something to think about. Shame on "The Wash."

HiI saw this on my local canal+ and boy was this a great movie or what !!Dr.Dre and Snoop are just great love their roles, and the guest apperence by eminem he is very cool.Last the music in the movie, its so bad ass. I love it !!I hope that Dr.Dre and Snoop will make others like it...Fred Denmark

I couldn't wait to rant as much as I could about this sorry excuse for a comedy. Some objetionable stuff like nonstop drug use and profane language made this movie worth not getting up and walking out of the theater, or taking the dvd out of my set and heaving it out window, but only those things saved it from getting a -2 out of 10. This entire script had absolutely no creativity or thought put into it, it felt like something you come up with at the top of your mind for a grade school project, like a novel at a preschool level of thought. If you listen closely to the dialogue, it's as simplistic as if the goal intent was to make this script 100% foolproof. In addition, there are way too many "run ons" in this movie, with small flaws that prevent the characters from sticking to the plot, as well as irrelevant little add-ons that have absolutely no point or place in the task at hand. I'm a big fan of Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, but this movie was, I'm sorry to say, a low point in both of their careers.
