I hesitated as to whether I'd watch this due to it not looking like something I was the target market for - I'm middle aged, white, and live on the other side of the world. I'm also somewhat sick of movies that try to preach and teach, behind a thin veil of "entertainment." This was the complete opposite, and a thoroughly enjoyable watch.

Jeffrey Wright is just brilliant in this role as the lead. His ability to convey the character's intelligence, frustration, and his mockery of the modern trends in culture, is fantastic. I had genuine moments of laughing out loud at his exasperation with the situations he was put in.

Rather than lecturing, the movie weaves a clever balance of mockery and education, forcing viewers to consider their own biases, as well as the way our culture is uplifting certain segments in the name of equality. It is astute, clever, and genuinely funny.
