On one side (black), a group of black gangsters that spend time doping, having intercourses with white rich girls and threatening the neighborhood, trying to become rappers. On the other side (white), a group of ridiculous white rich boys and girls that spend time doping, having intercourses with black men, having classes with a gay blonde colored hair teacher or fighting with their own families. A filmmaker and her ridiculous gay husband interested in filming these two groups. Obs.: poor Robert Downey Jr., is this a condition for his parole, or is he doing drugs again? An outstanding actor like him making again this gay role! At least, `One Night Stand' is a great movie. Last, but no less ridiculous, a corrupt white cop and
Mike Tyson, as a `guest star', giving lessons of life behavior. Put all of these characters blended together with a lot of stereotypes and we will have a too much verbal movie with an empty message in the end. Screenwriter and director James Toback should rent some Spike Lee movies and try to learn how to make a good movie about the Afro-Americans and their communities. What was his intention? A drama, comedy, or what? To complete this mess, he could have finished this flick with a clip of Hair's song `Black Boys, White Boys'. My vote is four.
