No flying cars, but...

Rating: Null/10 (15 January 2001)

Yea, it is 2001 - no HAL or flying cars, but a really cool (sorry, slammin) film. Yes - it was the only guy with tattoos in this upposed teen heart strings jerker, and dammit it was modern, mature, real, and also a fun time. "I would never put a cap in your ass." has never sounded so romatic (this is not being sarcastic). This story of interracial love is funny for the fact that the problem the two lovers have is being too color blind while the whole world is not. I remember a date way back on 92 with a slammin A. Cain - and someone yelled at us. There are not a lot of punches pulled - but headlong head butts to the topic of inter racial love. The point of white women stealing the good black men - ? one world or two very different worlds ? - does being yourself also include your color. The audience I saw it with - 99% white (including my off color self) - was looking at everything big and small. This movie hits strings you wouldn't notice unless you see it with an audience (this a must see in a theatre). In 2001, we are not anywhere near Jupiter - but much closer to home worlds are colliding nicely.
