Most Wanted isn't aiming for social commentary, but it isn't too difficult to enjoy its good-natured humor.

Jamie Kennedy's B-Rad is based on a character from his TV show -- and as the centerpiece for a sketch, he's hilarious. But the B-Rad joke wears thin when stretched across a feature-length film.

Wanted isn't quite the real Slim Shady of hip-hop comedies. But you might lose yourself in a few of its amusing moments.

Think of a B-grade Bulworth with lesser talents than A-listers Warren Beatty and Halle Berry.

Maybe in a half-hour format, the idea would stand up. But in a feature film, B-Rad's schtick seems like a one-note song.
