An amusing look at the early days of the gangsta rappers.

Resolutely lame in all the wrong places, CB4 is nowhere near the witty satire it purports to be.
January 02, 2004
A muddled but often funny rap satire.
August 20, 2008
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.
May 19, 2004
One of the first movies to parody gangsta rap, it does so knowingly and affectionately.
September 07, 2004
CB4 promises sharper satire than it actually delivers.

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.

Tamra Davis, a musicvideo director with the well-received feature debut Guncrazy on her resume, might have really had something here had she settled on any one of the many paths the movie starts down.

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.

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.

In parts it is hugely, monstrously funny.

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