Malibu’s Most Wanted

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. The spoofing of hip-hop mannerisms is dead-on, while a plot twist in which two proper black actors (Taye Diggs and
Anthony Anderson) are hired to pose as thugs and scare Brad out of his persona allows the story to expand its satirical scope.
