The Wayans boys are back! Their satires are silly and sometimes hilarious, but more importantly they enable us to laugh at ourselves.

Only briefly do the writers attempt any humor that is inflammatory, however. They go, mainly, for broad slapstick - aiming low.

Perhaps if "Menace'' had been shorter and some of the weaker sketches had been left on the cutting-room floor, it would have added up to a stronger whole. In the end, it is too small a menace to match the efforts of filmmakers like Singleton and Lee.

Over-the-top parody has frequent cursing, raunchy humor.

Strangely sour and ultimately wearisome.
