This is a movie that's basicaly about the influence of race identity in current America. A group of white teenagers, identify with hip hop and call themselves black (or niggaz as they call themselves), dressing and talking the part. A film student (Brooke Shields) wants to do a documentary on them, and she follows these 'wiggers' and 'chiclets' around with their black counterparts. The film then centres on a basketball player, married to a white woman who's an anthropology major (Claudia Schiffer), who's been tempted to throw a game for a bribe who's best black friend is admired by all these white kids.
There are some interesting cameos in this film from other actors and personalaties as well.
I actualy liked this film and enjoyed the acting. Robert Downey Jr. plays Brooke Shields ex husband. He's gay (seems to be the roles he's been getting lately 'Wonder Boys' the same) and it seems the only person who is in the closet about it is his ex-wife who keeps him tagging along to keep the facade. Downey's character has a hillarious encounter with Mike Tyson in the film (playing himself of course). Downey hits on him, and Tyson reacts.... well like Tyson, in what is probably the best scene in the film.
The film was also provocative and intelligent I felt. I was entertained.
Rating 7 out of 10.
