Frustrated when network brass reject his sitcom idea, producer Pierre Delacroix pitches the worst idea he can think of in an attempt to get fired: a 21st century minstrel show. The network not only airs it, but it becomes a smash hit.

Bamboozled Ratings & Reviews

  • cultfilmlikerJuly 25, 2025
    One of the most underrated uses of direction in film. Relatively simple but executed to perfection. Learned to love to hate the drastic changes in video/film quality! It starts off a little rough but once you let it settle, it’s delicious. The recording studio scene was like a skit from an ODB album The Mau Mau performance had me so hyped lol incredible scene Very excited to see A.D. Miles and David Wain!!!
