5/5 THE WAY IT IS IN C.A..CALLY
  by Sheree D. Waites (DALLAS TX.)
I LOVED TYRIN IN THIS FLICK,HE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN AN AWARD AND THE WRITTERS TOO,MOST SAY NO ONE WOULD ACTUALLY DO THESE THINGS NO MATTER WHERE THEY LIVE,BUT THINK ABOUT IT,WHERE YOU LIVE,HOW YOU GREW UP,WHERE YA BEEN AND WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN AND HEARD AND IT WAS NEVER EXPLAINED TO YOU! ITS A HARD LIFE FOR KANE AND O.D WHO JUST GO WITH THE FLOW AND GET DEEPER IN BOILING WATER AS A NEED OF CHANGE IS REFUSED AND RECONIZED TOO LATE AFTER BEING WARNED,AND NOT TAKING THE WARNINGS SERIOUSLY. YOU HAVE TO WATCH WHO YOUR FRIENDS ARE,SEPERATE THEN FROM THE SHYSTY TO THE FAITHFUL,THEN YOU HAVE TO EVEN WATCH THE FAITHFUL CAUSE IF THEY ARENT CAREFUL AND DONT CARE IT COULD COST YOU YOUR LIFE..WATCH OUT FOR [...] LIKE CHAUNCEY!!

4/5 3 stars out of 4

The Bottom Line:

A less-accomplished but darker and more pessimistic tale of inner city African-American life than Boyz in the Hood, Menace II Society tells the story of the American nightmare: people who are "young and black and don't give a ****"; quick-moving and interesting, it's worth a look.

5/5 "Punk Azz Chauncey!"
  by NEOSOUL06 (Atlanta, Ga.)
(lol) If you have seen the movie, you know who Chauncey is. The film begins in South Central Los Angeles in the Watts with Caine and his friend Kevin, nicknamed "O-Dog" entering a liquor store. Caine begins to drink malt liquor out of the bottle, intending to pay for it when he gets to the register, and the Korean storekeeper and his wife watch them suspiciously. As O-Dog is finished paying and is about to leave the store with Caine, the shopkeeper tells O-Dog "I feel sorry for your mother." O-Dog takes offense and shoots the Korean storekeeper and his wife, and takes the video surveillance tape of the shooting, before he and Caine flee the scene. O-Dog keeps the tape and entertains his friends by showing it to them. From there the movie takes flight. It has stars such as...Too Short, Jada Pinkett, Lorenz Tate, Clifton Powell and many more. If you like urban gangster movies then you'll enjoy this one. YMMV...NEOSOUL

5/5 Classic 1990's must have. Jyeah!
  by Person606 (USA)
This movie is a fundamental piece of urban 1990s pop culture. This movie also must have contributed to the widespread use of saying "jyeah", especially as used as a telephone greeting. Beyond being entertaining and a time capsule of 90's culture, this is a really good movie in technical skill, story telling, and acting. Jyeah! PS: 6Corners Chicago Rules.
