The Wash was a hip-hop-styled film released on November 16, 2001 featuring Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Xzibit and DJ Pooh, with an appearance made by Eminem (although he wanted 8 Mile to be his film debut, so he remained "uncredited"). This film was written and directed by DJ Pooh. The dialogs are notable for a huge amount of the appropriate slang, as well as the frequent use and sale of drugs on screen as if this is the way things are for an everyday carwash in the middle of Los Angeles.

Plot
Sean (Dr. Dre) and Dee Loc (Snoop Dogg) are roommates who have not yet paid their rent. To make matters worse, Sean just lost his job at Foot Locker, so Dee Loc suggests that he stop by the same car wash where he works. Sean is immediately hired as assistant manager since Chris (Eminem) had been fired the day before. At the same time, their landlord has given them a three-day eviction warning. Although Dee Loc has the money, because of dealing drugs on the side, he refuses to pay on account that Sean needs to come up with his half, so Sean does his best to impress Mr. Washington (George Wallace), the owner of the carwash, so that he can hold his job long enough to come up with his half of the rent.
At first, things go fine, but then Dee Loc is caught on tape stealing and Mr. Washington tells Sean he must decide what to do, including firing his roommate if that's the best 'executive decision' to make. Why Mr. Washington gives him this choice doesn't make much sense, but then again, it's just a movie. Anyway, Sean tries to appeal to Dee Loc to act more responsibly but this creates a tremendous strain in their relationship.
Then Mr. Washington is kidnapped at gunpoint by two inept and angry local thugs who are stupid enough to call the carwash with their demands unaware about caller ID, which of course reveals their location, but instead of calling the police, Sean and Dee Loc put aside their differences long enough to rescue their boss, otherwise Sean won't get paid and he won't be able to come up with his half of the rent.
To make matters worse, the former assistant manager, Chris, suddenly shows up wanting revenge on Mr. Washington for firing him, which sets up a final confrontation between all parties concerned. Chris shoots one of the street thugs and runs out of bullets, that's when Sean confronts Chris and the wrestle for the gun. Sean loses the battle and falls down and just when he was about to get shot Dee Loc hops in the way to defends his friend. Just as Chris turns around he is confronted with a gun to his face just as the cops arrive. When all this is over Sean and Dee Loc walks off together when the movie ends.
