The Wash (2001)

This casual comedy stars hip-hop maestros Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, who are also all over the movie's soundtrack. Dee Loc (Dogg) works at a car wash but makes more money selling pot on the side. When his roommate Sean (Dre) gets a job as assistant manager at the wash, Sean finds himself caught between his tyrannical boss (the ever-blustery George Wallace) and his friend. But the plot isn't really the point--The Wash is a loose, ambling collection of off-hand jokes, character portraits, and girls in tight clothes, much in the same vein as Friday or I Got the Hook-Up. Cameos include Shaquille O'Neal, Ludacris, Pauly Shore (as a mob victim tied up in a car trunk), and Eminem. Writer-director DJ Pooh also plays a dimwitted kidnapper and has some of the funniest bits. --Bret Fetzer Amazon.com

Classic Movie

The Wash is an all time classic hood flick. If your analyzing it too much then your probably not meant to understand it. Paix! January 12, 2008

So much potential.... :-( wasted

I just finished watching this on cable and I was really disappointed. I had high hopes after finding out it was similar to the old Car Wash movie - which I love and highly recommend - and then I saw that Snoop and Dre were in it... then it just wasn't that funny or really even attention holding.

I recommend the Friday Trilogy, Little Man (which was a surprise!), and the OG-triple-OG Car Wash with Richard Pryor for some really funny stuff. June 13, 2007

Be Prepared To Laugh

Written and directed by DJ Pooh - who also plays Slim - the comedy features Dr. Dre (Sean) and Snoop Dogg (Dee Loc) as friends who have had bad breaks and made some poor choices, but stumble upon one last opportunity to get things together under some very bizarre circumstances.

The cast is heavy into hip-hop, with Xzibit, Eminem, Kurupt and Truth Hurts having parts big & small. Other actors include Pauly Shore, Tommy Chong, Shaq and George Wallace (as car wash owner, Mr. Washington).

The action mostly takes place at a car wash in Los Angeles, with Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg being a surprisingly good comedic duo. And Eminem - as the fired assistant manager with major issues - is hilarious in his brief appearance.

It is a wacky plot with over-the-top scenes and actors who are obviously having a blast. The editing sometimes makes following the plot a bit choppy, but that criticism can be directed at many comedies. The Wash is good for a few laughs and does not take things too seriously.

Not That Bad At All (Rating: 7 out of 10- -3.5 stars)

This is one of those movies that was pushing 2 1/2 stars. I gave it a higher rating for two reasons: because most of the females in the movie looked hot, and I some how managed to laugh throughout most of the movie. This isn't a bad movie overall, but it does have some bad parts. It wasn't the best acting ever, but it was okay in this movie. Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg do an excellent job playing their parts and the plot execution is okay as well. Then you have a lot of popular west coast rappers in this movie as well aside from Dre and Snoop that many will easily recognize (I'm suprised Ice Cube didn't get mixed up in this). If you want to see a a few rappers and some nice females in a laughable movie, then check this out. It's not the best movie out there, but it isn't the worst. This is one of those movies that will be on TBS in about 2 years. Peace! March 16, 2007
