The Wash

The Wash (2001) is a stoner comedy directed by DJ Pooh, free to watch online on iFILM. Sean's rent is overdue, his car has been booted, his wallet is empty — so his roommate Dee Loc does him a favor and gets him scrubbing cars at the local wash.

Then Sean (Dr. Dre) gets bumped up to shift manager, which means bossing around his own buddy Dee Loc (Snoop Dogg), a man with zero intention of actually working. The days drift by between a bucket of suds, a couple of joints and a lot of rambling nonsense. Eventually the car-wash owner gets kidnapped for ransom, and the two slackers have to remember they're a team. A whole parade of hip-hop names wanders through: Eminem, Ludacris and Xzibit, plus cameos from Shaquille O'Neal and Pauly Shore.

DJ Pooh, co-writer of Friday, put together a lazy hangout comedy in the spirit of 1976's Car Wash — light on plot, heavy on its soundtrack and the easy chemistry between Dre and Snoop. The movie rides on company rather than jokes: if spending 90 minutes with these two sounds fun, it lands. Everyone else may find it shapeless. Stream The Wash (2001) online on iFILM.
