This movie disgusts me on a deep, philosophical level, lol.

WHy can't we have movies that feature rich, vibrant characters that reflect reality and the breadth of our culture and heritage? THe biggest "black" movies of the year so far are shaping up to be: Juwanna Man, Like Mike, Undercover Brother.

Where are our real stories??? If it's got to be a comedy, can't it be smart, with good writing? Does it always have to be a gimmick- the cute (well, ok that is WAY subjective) kid, the crossdresser, the wanna-be-pimp or Black Austin Powers?

Ugh.
