Trailer

Classic 80s movie when a joke was a joke and people weren’t such pussies. I would love if they remade it today!! Do y’all think they could pull it off today?

Doesn’t hold a candle to Blazing Saddles.


But Rae Dawn Chong was awfully cute.

Not at all.
And it's C. Thomas Howell

That type of comedy is low hanging fruit.

Soul Man isn't even that good and nowhere close to being a classic. If remade today would fall into the same quality as White Chicks.

A movie about a rich, spoiled white guy stealing a minority scholly.

Of course it is gonna get praised here.

Couldn’t do this today.

You would need to cast a black character for the wannabe black character.

You saw the grief that Elton John got for not having an LGBT social justice warrior to play him.

So even if you got a black character to play the wanna be black character, I guess whiteface is okay for the nonBlack scenes at the beginning and end of the movie.

No. You couldn’t do it today because it would be unmarketable.

It would get laughed at in the pitch meeting.

Basketball game was funny.

Almost as fun were the parents spending his tuition. Seems like those POSs were ahead of their time.

One of those ridiculous black councilwomen was quoting this movie like it was gospel during that whole Denise Amoroso fiasco meeting.

I had to ask myself is this was real life... then I remembered I live in Baton Rudddge.
