This was hysterical and in the Mel Brooks and Zuker brothers kind of way. The humor is over-the-top and extremely stupid. And what's not to love about that? It's a spoof of the blaksploitation movies from the 70s, and despite the absurd humor, it actually approaches the genre with a meticulous eye carefully hitting all the tropes. But, you don't need to know any of that. All you really need to know is that the film is smartly stupid, absolutely hysterical, and a total joy to watch. It ranks up there with classic comedies and, most importantly of all, it will entertain you.
