The film, partly written by Shawn and Marlon Wayans, relies on its audience's knowledge of current black popular culture. Sometimes the family succeeds, like in Keenen Ivory Wayans's 1988 spoof of '70s films "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka." Sometimes they fail, like in the waning days of the Fox television series "In Living Color." In this movie, they succeed, for the most part. rap videos now exist to provide ample material for the Wayans family to do what it does best: poke fun at other people, this time in the 'hood with "Don't Be a Menace." The trick is to make the already ridiculous completely outrageous. Enough gun-drug-pathology films and cliched south-central L.A.
