Rating:  - Oh Come on! It's Not That Bad!
Some people act like they have a vendetta against this little movie. This film is no masterpiece, but it's not that bad. I ignored it in the 90's because I assumed it wasn't anything worth watching, but recently caught it on cable because nothing else was on. Hey I was bored, maybe that's a reason I got into it, but all and all it's okay. It won't have you rolling over laughing, but it is kind of funny. This is not a film I'd recommend you spend any money on but it's a good film to take in if you ... Read More
Rating:  - Not sure what the point of this movie was....
Obviously, this movie was made in the early 90s and so I guess you have to allow for a little more understanding regarding the overly racial characatures. This would have been a decent comedy, but there is a definite effort to insert a 'message'. However, this movie's message was nothing more than a blurry ambiquity that made no real sense.
This movie tells the story of a black guy from the hood, Dexter Jackson, who gets into the news business and is manipulated by white people. The ... Read More
Rating: - horrid
this movie is horrid--i wonder if the acting was supposed to be this bad on purpose. and the message--that "success" somehow makes you white--the charicatures may have been there to make a point, and yeah it's playing like a period piece (early 90's) -- but why did baby bam (jungle brothers) have to be in this? as the narrator, "sidekick", he was the best thing about the flick.
Rating:  - Decent...
I thought this was a pretty cool movie for the time period it came out in. It even had a message in it, which is : never forget who you are, where you have come from and gone through when you reach the success you set out to reach in life.
Rating: - it's garbage
This movie is apparently a comedy that turns out not to be funny when it tries to be and when it doesn't. I'm trying to think of one redeeming quality this movie contains, but there is none. Don't buy it.
