Steineded How sad is this?
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
lemarmclean 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."
pepivanni5 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.
stargirlrk One of the main reasons I saw this film is because I love Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg and this looked interesting. But it was anything BUT that. It had no humor at all. Basically, the whole film Dre was trying to get laid and Snoop was smoking weed all day at the car wash where he worked. Eminem is only in the film for one scene, where he comes out at the end with an AK-47 and shoots up his boss's car (who had fired him from the car wash where he worked). So the whole film they are in the car wash hanging out (nothing funny happens) and then two thugs kidnap their boss at the end, demanding $50,000 for his release. So of course, Dre and Snoop break into the kidnappers' house and rescue their boss, and Dr. Dre gets a major cash reward from his boss and finally pays his bills that he needed to pay. If you would like a stupid and not-funny-at-all movie about a bunch of retards hanging around a car wash and getting in fights and smoking pot, then by all means see this film. But if you are a normal person who likes Dre and Snoop and would like to see this just because they are in it, DO NOT!!! This is a complete waste of 2 hours of my time and I should storm up in the theater and demand my eight dollars back, even though I saw the film two years ago. HORRIBLE!!!
MovieExpert I watched "The Wash" not expecting a good movie, but i did get a pretty good funny movie with many special appereances and cameos for example Xzibit, Eminem, Pauly Shore,& Ludacris. The movie is about Dr.Dre and Snoop working in a car wash place, the funniest scenes in the movie were the ones with Eminem calling Mr.Washington and swearing at him, lol the ending with Eminem shooting the ak 47 is funny too, i suggest this movie if your a rap fan and you like movies like Next Friday, All About The Benjamins, etc. If your looking for a sophistacated plot or some s***, dont rent this.
