Critics of the film argued that the film not only failed at producing humor in its use of black stereotypes, but generally was not funny. "Chicago Sun-Times" film critic Roger Ebert wrote "I’m Gonna Git You Sucka" is “a comedy that feeds off the blaxploitation movie, and although, like all good satires, it is cheerfully willing to be offensive, it is almost completely incapable of being funny.” There was also a concern about the perception of the film by the white movie going audience. The film's villain, Mr. Big, is not only a white man, but a white man responsible for the deterioration of an inner city black community.
