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. Satire and parody are heavily in evidence in CB4 . Right-wing politicians, which make ripe targets for movies such as this, aren't the only ones that get barbecued.
Rap music is both lampooned and lauded.
Prominent black figures such as Spike Lee are given a knock or two. In addition, there are dozens of subtle jabs at elements of black and white culture. These represent the most sophisticated that CB4 's comedy gets. Admittedly, much of the humor is juvenile and, as such, too silly to be particularly funny. Chris Rock's performance is about as uneven as the comedy.
