Bigotry Disguised as Comedy
28 October 2020
Where should I start? Oh, here's a good start: I cut the movie off after 23 minutes. I was willing to deal with the dumb premise, and I even suffered through the severely bigoted jokes. Once a spontaneous "Yo Mama" session erupted in the middle of the street I had to cut it off.

So, a Chinese boy was adopted by a Black couple in Atlanta. They raised him as their own. It was wholly absurd how this adoption came about, but whatever. The father (Ernie Hudson) died. Some years later the rest of the family moved to L.A. There the Chinese son Julian (Dante Basco) instantly was under a racist attack disguised as comedy from some b-ball players. When he ran into the same bigot sometime later the racist barbs began anew with "Yo Mamas" thrown in. The next thing you know all of these other comedians materialize on the corner where the back-and-forth is going on and "Yo Mamas" are being flung everywhere. And they're NOT funny.

I could suffer it no more. I had to bail on this drivel before I lost any more brain cells watching it.
