This movie was a delight and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I wasn't surprised at the negative comments about it, however, because in order to fully appreciate the satire and wonderful humor of this movie,you have to have a close association and awareness of the cultures involved. Without that understanding, the picture would not be funny. I am Jewish and work as a social worker in a middle school in Central Harlem. With these credentials this movie is hilarious. Also, who can resist Damon Wayans and Lisa Kudrow? The rap satires were pointed and hilarious and cutting edge. Damon was surprisingly believable as a rapper, while rapping and very sexy and charming. Lisa was able to hold her own as a comedian and as a "rapper" also. She is the ultimate entertainer, as is Damon. Lisa's backup girlfriends were perfect as a bit joining in with the whole ensemble. Richard Benjamin as the businessman father was hilarious. This movie is not meant to be realistic, but a creative, fun twist on reality.
