A far smarter send-up of cultural stereotypes than Bringing Down the House, Malibu’s Most Wanted stars Jamie Kennedy as Brad “B-Rad” Gluckman, a privileged California white kid who acts like he just stepped out of a rap video.

Anthony Anderson) are hired to pose as thugs and scare Brad out of his persona allows the story to expand its satirical scope.
