Amazon.co.uk Review
Bamboozled is that rarity in Hollywood cinema, a sharp but subtle satire by Spike Lee, America's most important black director. A TV producer trying to expose the racism of his corporation conceives an idea for a new show. It's back to the Black and White Minstrels, reincarnated in glorious colour. He can't believe it when his ironic suggestion is taken up by the company and becomes a huge hit. Lee manages to show us just what's wrong with stereotypes of blacks, and yet acknowledge just how easily even black people themselves can be seduced by them. It's a pity about the ending, which explodes in a hail of bullets, quite inappropriately for such a film, but up till then there are plenty of laughs and much food for thought.
On the DVD: the many extras include Lee's informative audio commentary on the film and a 50-minute "making of" documentary, plus 10 scenes deleted from the final version, some posters, a couple of music videos and the theatrical trailer. --Ed Buscombe

I studied this movie as part of my American Studies degree and found it very interesting as a film even though the content is very disturbing. For anyone looking at race relations or the media's representation of race, this is a must-see although be warned its not the kind of thing you would want to see on a Friday night in. Well worth a look and another very well made Spike Lee film.

This is Spike Lee's Finest movie to date.
He takes a subject that is painful and makes it easy to watch and understand. Damon Wayans gives a first rate performance. Jada Pinkett-Smith is as you have never seen her before. The DVD is pack with great features Commentary by Spike Lee where he speaks straight from the Heart. I really enjoyed the Music Video's(Mau Mau's Blak iz Blak) This is one Spike Lee Joint that deliver's the goods

I have watched Spike Lee movies before and I have not always understood his style. However I intend to urge as many people as I can to watch this movie. Is by no means a perfect film I would take issue with the ending. However it is a thought provoking movies and one of the best bt Mr Lee that I have watched. I have watched it several times and I intend to watch it again. Jada Pinkettt Smith was superb in the movie I have never seen her perform so well and she handled a difficult script superbly. It does make uncomfortable viewing but it is well worth seeing. Mos Def also put in an outstanding performance as Big Black Africa!! An unmissable movie...

The central premise of "Bamboozled" directed by Spike Lee is a good one. The final result is not. Having watched most of Spike Lee's recent work I am struck by his obvious lack of... Read more

A Movie with style and difference
After a boring evening, a couple of friends and I picked up the movie in a shop and took it back to watch. My first impressions were that it was dull. Read more
