Synopsis

Sean (Dr Dre) is short of cash and with the rent due he needs a job, fast. His best buddy and roommate Dee Loc (Snoop Dogg), comes to his rescue and 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.

Lions Gate Films presents the action-comedy THE WASH which is written, directed and produced by D J Pooh (co-writer of the hit FRIDAY and director of 3 STRIKES). The film's executive producers are Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, with Phillip Atwell producing, and Jeremiah Samuels with Donna Chavous co-producing. Associate Producer of THE WASH is Rick Freeman. Original music by Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre was written and produced for the film.
