This is the kind of movie where if characters show up carrying a blunderbuss, a spear gun and a rocket-propelled grenade launcher - and they do - you can bet that each will be fired to good effect.īest of the supporting cast are Taye Diggs ("How Stella Got Her Groove Back") and Anthony Anderson ("Kangaroo Jack"), who play two aspiring actors hired to pretend to be thugs from the 'hood to scare B-Rad back into being Bradley.ĭiggs' character, Sean, who misses no chance to remind everyone that he studied at Juilliard, works nicely with PJ, Anderson's character, who is a little defensive that his training is from the Pasadena Playhouse. The saving grace is the supporting cast and a few witty plot twists. Discussing the indignities of life with another character, B-Rad asks, "Like when the public be all up on your private beach?" At some points he seems to think he is actually African American, asking the maid, "When will they leave our people alone?" But at others he's an oblivious privileged kid. In fact, it is a little hard to understand how we are supposed to view B- Rad.

Complications ensue.ī-Rad is a sketch character that Kennedy worked up for his WB TV show, "The Jamie Kennedy Experiment." His gangsta slang and weird inflections are funny for a while, but the character doesn't go anywhere, remaining essentially clueless throughout the movie. The idea is to scare B-Rad back into being Bradley, the suburban white-bread nerd. B-Rad is a nice enough kid, but his misguided attempts to "keep it real" damage Dad's chances in the election.Ī plan is hatched to take B-Rad, who has "never been east of Beverly Hills, " to the real streets of the 'hood. The kicker is that not only is B-Rad rich, but his father ( Ryan O'Neal) is also running for governor. But we can see he's more like an M&M - mass-produced, sugary and insignificant.
Hanging around the mall with his powder-blue visor skewed stylishly over his right ear, B-Rad thinks of himself as an Eminem. There were the college-student guitar players who faithfully growled Mississippi Delta blues, the urban cowboys who bought hats and big belt buckles to ride mechanical bulls, and the Beat generation hangers on who wore goatees and black turtlenecks and wrote moody poetry.
Living a life much different from your own is an old and familiar tradition.
