This rather good film that's more or less about racial stereotypes is very intelligent and very well meaning. It also has an excellent cast led by the always dependable Jeffrey Wright. It's the story of an intelligent, highly educated black man who writes intellectual books that nobody wants to read, so as a joke he writes sort of a ghetto book of racial stereotypes and much to his surprise the world loves it. He can make a lot of money off of it which he needs due to his mother needing a nursing home, so he reluctantly sells out. It's well written, it's well acted, but unfortunately it lost me at the end when it presents a few different potential endings and I never knew which one was actually real and I suspect that none of them are, but that still does not answer anything other than a film being made based upon the book utilizing the most extreme of those multiple endings. I personally know others feel the same, so at least I'm not alone, but it seems many others understand it better or pretend to. I do recommend it as its a quality film that's enjoyable in many ways. I just wish I got the ending.
