If
it weren't for film festivals, films like this would not exist.
And that wouldn't be a bad thing in this case.
I
have never liked pretentious movies and James Toback's "Black and
White" is no exception. The film itself is a chaotic mix of "2nd
tier" Hollywood stars, rap artists, sports figures, and supermodels
all thrown together to show the intellectual snobs of the world
just how much angst exists in the lives of hip-hop spewing gang-bangers
as well as the lives of the spoiled, upper-class white bitches that
they happen to be gang-banging.
From
that last statement, you might be wondering if there is a lot of
sex in the movie. The answer is an unqualified YES. If you're into
interracial three-ways, then this is your movie. The opening scene
of the movie, in fact, gives us some pretty raunchy sex in New York's
Central Park. If that's not your bag, however, then skip this one
and wait for a slow day at your local video rental place.
Alas,
it quickly goes downhill. The rest of the movie is just so much
politically correct crap and, if not for the occasional gratuitous
sex scenes as well as Mike Tyson's scene-stealing performance, I'd
be trying to find a way to give this movie zero stars.
