Dir. Spike Lee
Rating: [R16]
Genres: Comedy / Blaxploitation, Independent

Topics: Satire.

Feat. Damon Wayans, Savion Glover, Jada Pinkett Smith, Tommy Davidson

Aroview: Dir. Spike Lee bamboozles with a jaw-dropping satire on the commercialisation of black culture, with Damon Wayans as a writer who is ordered by executive Michael Rapaport to create a ‘black’ TV-Series. In protest he devises the most offensive, golliwog-black-minstrel show he can summon up. Unfortunately, it’s a hit. Also stars Savion Glover, Jada Pinkett-Smith and Tommy Davidson.

I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
2 stars (Good Try) There were segments that were dialogue intensive and they hindered the flow of the film. The screenplay needed to be tighter and for the dancing to do more of the talking. ~Tubbs
