Somehow this movie left me unsatisfied. Why? Because this movie tries to combine drama and comedy and that is always a tricky fine line to walk, which didnt work out well.

The bad: the comedy part is in essence quite witty indeed. A black writer isnt selling books, because he doesnt write about black issues. Frustrated about his lack of success he starts lying about everything just to please the readers and the publishers. Will he get away with it?

This comedy part of this movie would have sufficed, but they injected a lot of serious talking dramatic scenes into it as well (mother with alzheimer) which somehow didnt mix well with the comedy part.

Not a terrible movie for sure, but one that is neither fish nor flesh and just didnt excel in any way.
