Partly scripted by Nelson George, the premier authority on hip hop, the film is not without moments of insight, and there are certainly enough gross-out gags to keep you watching. Full Review |

In parts it is hugely, monstrously funny. Full Review |

Torn between celebration and sendup, CB4 misses its big target as often as it hits. Full Review |

1/4 |
CB4 just isn't too funny, and one gets the feeling that the filmmakers themselves lacked the resolve or coherence of vision to mock rap in any effective fashion. Full Review |

One of the first movies to parody gangsta rap, it does so knowingly and affectionately.

3.5/5 |
A fast-paced and frequently hilarious spoof of the old-school rap world.

|
1.5/4 |
Though CB4 starts out as a fairly amusing rap variation of This is Spinal Tap! it quickly sinks into a raunchy, sexist series of off-the-wall gags that go nowhere. Full Review |

If your mood is loose and profane, if you speak hip-hop (or you just like hearing it) and if you think Rock is funny (he is), you'll be glad you checked this out. Full Review |

There's an unexpected innocence mixed in here that helps to blunt the pointed raunchiness (and political incorrectness) of the subject. Full Review |

|
2/4 |
As a series of ocasionally-amusing vignettes, CB4 is is fitfully entertaining. However, when everything is tied together into a cohesive whole, this movie is a colossal mess. Full Review |
