I really enjoyed it

Yea, let's get back to talking about the movie. I went and saw it this weekend and actually really liked it. Honestly, I wouldn't have known it was a spike lee movie. I thought it was going to be filled with "white guilt" that people cry about but I didn't really see it. Pretty funny arse movie as well.

My only complaint (and I'm being serious) is that I wish there was a bit more David Duke in it. I thought they could have shown a bit more of him.

EDITED to add - Also there is a nice shout out to fans of The Wire.

My wife and I saw it yesterday at a 3:45 showing. It was sparsely attended, nothing like Mission Impossible last weekend in the same time slot, so who knows what it does at the box office. I like John David Washington in Ballers, thought he gave a great performance in the movie and there were a lot of funny scenes. Well, I also had 2-16 oz Basement IPAs. Nah, my wife and I really did enjoy it. I have not read the book so don't know the level of adherence to it and found it a tad bit surprising that the KKK was present in Colorado and yes I'm aware racists exist in non-Southern states. The Charleston insertion at the end I could have done without, but overall I thought Spike did a good job keeping the movie mostly humorous and a little crazy, can't say any of it felt like it was dragging, and overall some strong acting performances.
