A rich kid who likes to pretend hes from the wrong side of the tracks gets a taste of the real thing in this comedy. Brad Gluckman (Jamie Kennedy) is the son of a wealthy and socially prominent couple (Ryan ONeal and Bo Derek) and grew up in the lap of luxury in Malibu, CA. However, Brad likes to imagine hes a street-smart gangsta from the mean streets of L.A., and hes been trying to launch a career as a hardcore rapper under the name B-Rad. Mr. Gluckman is running for Governor of California, and both he and his campaign manager (Blair Underwood) are convinced Brads antics could have a negative impact on the election, so they come up with a scheme to change his mind about the supposed glamour of street life. Mr. Gluckman hires a pair of African-American actors (Taye Diggs and Anthony Anderson) to impersonate a pair of gang-bangers from Compton who carjack Brads SUV and take him to the hood, where hell learn just how scary the thug life can be. However, it soon becomes obvious the actors dont know much more about life in Compton than Brad does, and as Brad gets used to his new surroundings, he falls for a girl from the neighborhood (Regina Hall) who has her own plans for moving up in the world. Malibus Most Wanted was inspired by a character Jamie Kennedy created for his sketch comedy series The Jamie Kennedy Experiment. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
