I should have seen it coming.
There was no other reason to see this movie other than I find Jamie Kennedy’s television show amussing.
The trailor looked dumb, but I thought, “This guy is funny.”
He is, he really is, but one can only handle so much white-man-plays-black comedy.
Of course he’s helped out by two black-men-playing-white.
There are a few funny scenes – but not enough to prop the movie up.
Dye-a-log was almost completely missing – I say almost because words came out of peoples mouths, but they weren’t valuable for much.
Jamie’s rapping is intentionally bad, but it wasn’t even a ‘good’ bad rap thing.
And the constant reference to ‘shiznit’ (which happens to be a cloaked prophanity, but that’s the word they use) is pretty sad.
In the end we watched the whole movie because we could, not because we had to.
I have made it a personal crusade to save the world from renting or watching bad movies – I’m doing it by watching one bad movie at a time – and then telling you about it.
