Ever feel like you don't belong? That is the question asked by "Malibu's Most Wanted," and the answer is pretty funny.

Kennedy stars as Brad Gluckman, your typical kid who spends his days hanging out at the local coffee house with his friends. Well, maybe typical isn't the right word. Seems Brad goes by the name B - Rad. He is the leader of his crew, bustin' ill rhymes about his hard life living in "the 'Bu." Oh, one more thing. B - Rad is white! And to make matters worse his father (O'Neal) is in the final stages of his campaign for governor.

Embarrassed by B - Rad's actions, the governor enlists his campaign manager (Underwood) to find a way to get B - Rad to act like the well-bred young man he thinks he should be. Underwood then hires two black actors to kidnap B - Rad and show him how life really is in the 'hood. Sadly, the actors are Julliard-trained and have about as much to do with the 'hood as B - Rad does. Played by Taye Diggs and Anthony Anderson, these two are the most believable characters in the film. Always critical of the other's performance, they also heap praise when needed. "I can feel your rage," one tells the other.

A variety of mishaps occur as B - Rad is made to rob a liquor store and participate in a gang war shooting. The highlight of these problems is when B - Rad is put on stage at a hard-core rap club to show what he can do. Think the final "rap off" in last year's "8 Mile," without the positive ending! Despite all of their efforts, B - Rad refuses to admit he's anything then what he is portraying. And a conversation with a ghetto rat, voiced by Snoop Dogg, helps him believe in his convictions.

Basically a story with the moral that we should all be allowed to be who we want to be, the film plays well whenever Kennedy unknowingly insults those around him, though his catch phrase "don't be hatin'" does wear thin after a while. On a scale of zero to four stars, I give "Malibu's Most Wanted"
