CB4 Ratings & Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
This intermittently amusing parody of the rap music industry starts out energetic and alive, then loses its inspiration and its nasty edge.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Seemingly designed as both a love letter to, and a parody of hip-hop, CB4 emerges as not being much of either, and only mildly funny.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Editing room cuts help explain some of the narrative haphazardness.
Box Office Prophets
Sean Collier
CB4 is an above-average spoof mostly notable for delivering commentary that was well ahead of its time.
Hartford Courant
Malcolm Johnson
A fast, wild and sometimes hilarious parody on the music Lee has used with such effective ferocity.
Variety
Variety Staff
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.
Newsweek
David Ansen
Torn between celebration and sendup, CB4 misses its big target as often as it hits.
TV Guide
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.
Film Threat
Brad Laidman
An amusing look at the early days of the gangsta rappers.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
CB4 promises sharper satire than it actually delivers.
New Times
Luke Y. Thompson
One of the first movies to parody gangsta rap, it does so knowingly and affectionately.
TheMovieReport.com
Michael Dequina
A muddled but often funny rap satire.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Resolutely lame in all the wrong places, CB4 is nowhere near the witty satire it purports to be.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
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.
Washington Post
Hal Hinson
There's an unexpected innocence mixed in here that helps to blunt the pointed raunchiness (and political incorrectness) of the subject.
