Overrated

Rating: 3/10 (14 January 2006)

I was surprised to find this movie on IMDb's Best of 2000s list.
I looked forward to seeing this film believing that it would provide an interesting exploration of ethnicity and racism. Instead, it was preachy, boring, and predictable. The characters were poorly developed and, for the most part, uninteresting. Moreover, by focusing almost exclusively on overt examples of racism, the film failed to challenge the audience to think through the true complexities of racism and prejudice in the United States.
There are dozens of films that accomplish what this movie aims to with greater success. I'd save my money and see something else.
