Frustrated when network brass reject his sitcom idea, producer Pierre Delacroix pitches the worst idea he can think of in an attempt to get fired: a 21st century minstrel show. The network not only airs it, but it becomes a smash hit.
User Reviews
Scathing satire of the way the entertainment industry uses Black people
Great exploration of art, media, and race relations in America. A lesser Spike Lee joint only in reputation, not in content.
My favorite Spike Lee. Such a daring black comedy that does so good of a job as a black comedy, you don't wanna laugh sometimes.
This is a furious movie. I’ve heard the word “scathing” used to describe Bamboozled a few times and I think that’s the best way to put it
It’s a very complex topic to explore, and this movie does well exploring the relationship between Hollywood and black people.
Satire so biting that it ripped my head clean off. Hasn't aged a day.
I get the point and its Spike Lees to make.
Satire so sharp it draws blood. Laughter curdles into horror, and the joke never lets you off the hook.
This is an amazing black film. A satirical look into the inner dynamics of the black community. What it fails at, accomplishes, and to be fx
An amazing mix of uncomfortable and hilarious to the point where you’ll forget when to laugh and you’ll still enjoy the ride.
