62% on Rotten Tomatoes from 29 reviews, the critical consensus on the website saying that the film "puts a satirical spin on '70s nostalgia with a comedy whose somewhat scattershot laughs are often offset by pure energetic silliness." The film opened with rave responses from the black community. African-American audience members were thrilled to attend the screening of a movie filled with black actors about a black film genre. I’m Gonna Git You Sucka received critical receptions that were wide-ranging and numerous in viewpoint.
