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

5.0 out of 5 stars Bamboozled, 12 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Bamboozled [DVD] [2001] (DVD)
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

5.0 out of 5 stars Thought Provoking, 24 Sep 2004
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Spike Lee Masterpiece, 20 Nov 2005
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...
