*possible spoilers* I rented The Wash assuming that it would be a weak plotted over blown rap video... which for the most part it is, but that is not to say that I didn't enjoy it! The jokes were good, better than some of the jokes in movies that actually got played at the theater in my town! I thought Dr. Dre's acting was quite good, although I don't think it is fair that Snoop's rather detestable character got all the booty while Dre's character got the shaft by the woman he had just met and got left with nothing but some lotion "in case you get tha urge". Snoop's role really didn't deviate at all from the role he plays whenever he is in front of a mic or a camera which is okay but I would kind of enjoy seeing him do something totally unexpected for a change. I like the fact that the director gave himself the role of the dumbest guy in the film. The characters were all likeable and very funny. Although, as I have said, Snoop (who is one of my absolute favorite musicians, especially when teamed up with Dre)had a role that was really just more of the same. All in all, I really did get a kick out of this movie and I would say that it is definitely worth renting for sh*ts and giggles and if you are a fan of Snoop, Dre, Eminem or any of the great cast or if you love cheesy gangsta rapper spoof flicks then it is definitely worth buying! I only wish the DVD included some outtakes or bloopers as a special feature!! This movie is fun and should be put on your shelf right beside CB4, Fear of a Black Hat, Friday, Don't be a menace the south central while drinking your juice in the hood, I'm gonna git you sucka, or on a more serious note you could also put them next to Juice, Menace To Society,Boyz N the Hood, and Baby Boy! Oh, and soundtrack is great! I look forward to seeing another Snoop and Dre flick, if it gets made!

Plot summary
With the rent due and his car booted, Sean (Dr. Dre) has to come up with some ends...and fast. When his best buddy and roommate Dee Loc (Snoop Dogg),suggests that Sean get a job busting suds down at the local car wash, the first order of business is impressing Mr. Washington (George Wallace) the gun-toting, dominoes-playing owner of The Wash. Unaware that the two are roomies, Mr. Washington hires Sean as Dee Loc's supervisor. Comic tensions flare between the two, especially when Dee Loc suspects Sean of trying to slow his roll with the side hustles he's got going on in the car wash parking lot...and with the ladies in the locker room. But there are bigger things to worry about at The Wash. One is the menacing phone calls from a disgruntled employee, and the other is figuring out how to get money to pay off the kidnappers who've snatched Mr. Washington! If Sean, Dee Loc, and the rest of the gang don't settle their differences and get Mr. Washington back, the good times at The Wash will soon come to an end

It exceeded my expectations!
Hillarious!!
This movie still makes me laugh every time I watch it on video! Snoop is at his comedic talkin the talk finest and Dre makes a great straight man. For some good giggles, check this one out. It's worth a rental.
Hip Hop legends, they're better singers than actors.
Let's keep this simple, Dr.Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem and others are better singers than actors. That said it was funny watching them and I guess they had a lot of fun watching it themselves whilst smoking some weed. They're Hip Hop legends, swimming in money, and probably thought it would be fun to make a movie. I can't blame them but realisticly the movie oozes amateurism. But if you are a West Coast Hip Hop fan you will have some fun listening and watching them even if the story isn't really worth the detour. The comedy is just them talking like they record songs, that's always funny. The ratings are about right for this movie, I didn't regret watching it but I won't watch it again.
