if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Myron Clemons
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Billy Ollie
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This movie does what it set out to do,make the the people watching this movie laugh. A Low Down Dirty Shame characters make this an enjoyable movie. Jada Pinkett is perfectly cast as Peaches Shame's (Wayans' character) Assistant.She's funny and likable in this role the action does not come with overly done, loud, explosive, costly Hollywood production. what it does come with is humor and that's why this movie is solid..When I first saw this movie I couldn't stop laughing. When Peaches has the scene with the Geri-Curled,Gold Toothed Mailman. The scene when Shane wakes up next to Peaches'roommate I'm still waiting for Shame 2. Heck,I have seen worst movies make a sequel. My suggestion to anyone who is interested in seeing this movie is go into it with an open mind and you will love it

I found this movie to be quite over the top. Sure, the mass destruction is reminiscent of the Blues Brothers. Sure, the action and hype is quite over-rated. That's what makes Keenan Ivory Wayans the talent that he is. I find that I like to watch this movie when I am down in the dumps and in need of a distraction.Jada Pinkett (later Smith) shines in this role. I have a sneaking suspicion that she's quite a lot like this character in real life. She made this movie, and I think it launched her for future good acting roles. Girlfriend doesn't ride Will's coatails, she's established on her own in my book.The characters in the movie needed to be taken at face value, that was all they were worth. If you took an instant dislike to any of them, you were supposed to. The plot is a no brainer, and the jokes were quite funny even if you view this movie excessively. You WILL catch yourself wandering around saying lines from the movie....a true mark of a decent film. I recommend it for a burst of energy on an otherwise boring weeknight. Happy viewing.

As a huge fan of the genre, I was greatly disappointed with this Keenan Ivory Wayans vehicle. This movie plays upon every single cliche in the action/comedy genre. The jokes are lame and miss on almost every attempt, the heroic one-liners are ridiculous (ala Bowfinger's "Gotcha Suckers!"), and the plot is terribly predictable, moreso than the average action/comedy flick. You know exactly what's going to happen the moment "Shame" appears and even the "extreme" plot twist towards the end is extremely predictable. Don't see this movie if you don't have to; instead, see something like 'The Last Boy Scout' starring the good Wayans brother, Damon.

The movie was not the greatest, I agree, but it was entertaining. It had a lot of action and humor. The acting, though not superb, was in general, decent. As long as I'm entertained, can laugh, cry or be scared out of my wits by a performance, then I recommended the movie. I am a firm believer that if a person doesn't like what he/she are watching, they can leave or turn the dial.
