The Wash (2001)
With the rent due and his car
booted, Sean (Dr.
Dre) has to come up with some ends...and fast. When his best
buddy and roommate Dee Loc (Snoop
Dogg), suggests that Sean get a job busting suds down at the
local car wash, the first order of business is impressing Mr.
Washington (George Wallace) the gun-toting, dominoes-playing owner
of The Wash. Unaware that the two are roomies, Mr. Washington
hires Sean as Dee Loc's supervisor. Comic tensions flare between
the two, especially when Dee Loc suspects Sean of trying to slow
his roll with the side hustles he's got going on in the car wash
parking lot...and with the ladies in the locker room. But there
are bigger things to worry about at The Wash. One is the menacing
phone calls from a disgruntled employee, and the other is figuring
out how to get money to pay off the kidnappers who've snatched Mr.
Washington! If Sean, Dee Loc, and the rest of the gang don't
settle their differences and get Mr. Washington back, the good
times at The Wash will soon come to an end.
