About Pootie Tang

"The Man" is baffled by a chill hero's invincible weapon: gibberish.

About

Based on a comedy sketch from The Chris Rock Show, the film centers on the titular character who is in himself a satire of stereotyped characters from blaxploitation films.

Trivia

The movie was written and directed by Louis CK. It was a box office failure, capturing less than half of its allotted $7 million budget.
