So... a "comedy" about some "my rich daddy" douche bro who gets a grant... by being black cuz 1. He's awful at handling money (probably his dad's) and 2. daddy wants to bring the "value of a dollar" to his son... but is probably a bit late for it. While Tropic Thunder has Kirk Lazarus, an Australian method actor (e.i. an actor who'll get awards by pretending to be: a required physicality: starved and lanky or ripped muscle man, be gay, be transexual, middle eastern, have ridiculous accents or even be retarded (but not full retard, cuz we gotta have that romanticized magic retard feels).

This movie came out when I was a teen. I watched it as an adult. As a white person, the "comedy" of the stereotypes were stupid to me. It did put forth a very important message of empathy and walking in someone else's shoes. These are the most profound points I got out of this movie: 1- He listened to racial jokes by idiots, and started to be affected by them--to the point of punching one of the idiots telling offensive jokes in the face--yes!! 2- When he got pulled over by the police, he thought it was no big deal until he ended up in jail--for nothing--which is what black people have been telling us forever---literally!!! 3- James Earl Jones says he felt dude learned more from this experience than any class could teach him--dude acknowledges--he couldn't touch the real Black American experience. Why? Because he could get out of his "black" skin. That was incredibly profound. 4- He was super scared of losing Rae Dawn Chong cuz he wasn't sure if she forgave him-or if she could love him. To me, this movie taught me a lot about paying attention to the little micro-aggresions that Black people experience--and have talked about forever.

The film that effectively killed C. Thomas Howell's career! Although, he did get to met his first wife - Rae Dawn Chong on this film. It also has an early appearance of Julia Louis-Dreyfus(Elaine from Seinfeld). Ayre Goss plays the wise cracking friend "Gordo"(he later went on to work with Spielberg in Minority Report). Max Wright(Will Tanner from the TV series ALF) plays the psychiatrist. James B. Sikking(Star Trek 3 and Hill Street Blues)plays the main character's dad. Leslie Nielsen plays the racist landlord and father of one of the girlfriend's that the main character is involved with. Amy Stoch-Poyton(Dallas) has brief cameo in the beginning. There's also "Jan from TV's The Office" aka Melora Hardin looking very beautiful as the Radcliffe student that the main character gets involved with, and has rather special views on interracial relationships. I think it's only been shown on British TV twice(once in late night 1993 on BBC 1 - as I remember watching it then). Funny that it has never been repeated. I think it was recently on Amazon Prime in the UK.

Been waiting a long time for y'all to roast this one lol, although it would have been nice to hear Martin's thoughts on this. Nevertheless, 40:30-41:13 you guys are on point and brought up some stuff that I and I'm sure others have been talking about for a while. One, Hollywood seems more comfortable emasculating or reducing black and colored men to being the asexual sidekicks or supportive best friends so that we don't take away from the main lead (who presumably will be a white male) in a big major movie. Second, Hollywood also seems more bold putting black men with white men in a gay relationship, but not so bold to put black men with white women in mainstream movies; in fact it seems like we have much more bold interracial representation with gay pairings in media than we do with straight pairings sometimes. In any case, television and online shows/films are a bit better with these representations, but these trends and tropes need to continue to be called out both in and out of the industry so that we can start to see some more real change.

[@maggiec83]

I'm not into this implication that showing black men as gay is "emasculating"

He was in E.T. He was the older brother's friend.

@@michaelstrong5383 That's right. I was thrown off when he said that he played Michael, but I looked it up and corrected my statement.

Someone was supposed to be in this movie but Howard the Duck went over schedule - thank God for Howard the Duck saving Tim Robbins.

Forget Blazing Saddles, THIS is the movie you could never make again!

I guess the whole 'imposter comedy' has been a thing for a long time, although this may be the most unfortunate one of all! In the 80s besides Tootsie, there was also Just One of the Guys, where a girl joins the HS football team as a boy. In the 90s you had Mrs, Doubtfire. Back to the 70s, Bosom Buddies had Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari in drag to get a cheap room in a girls-only apartment. Three's Company did a similar thing, with John Ritter pretending to be gay so that the conservative landlord would let him cohabitate (assumed platonically) with two young women. Then you can go all the way back to Some Like It Hot, with Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis pretending to be women to escape the mob. Of course that probably inspired Nuns on the Run, which then inspired Sister Act. The oldest one I can think of is probably Scaramouche, a 50s film based on a 20s novel, where a man wanted for murder becomes a clown to hide in the circus. Sorry, I probably took this too far....! But if there's any other imposter comedies (good or bad) y'all can think of, drop them here!

This character reminds me of a friend of mine Damien Chazelle, (director of Whiplash) who is also from Harvard. He would never act like this, ever, but he looks like him.

I've known of this movie for over a decade, I've seen clips & understand the synopsis of the story, but that first clip "WHAT'S HAPPENING BROTHA!?" WTF!!! LOL
