OK so White chick's is my favourite comedy & I never knew there'd been a race swap before it. Till saw a fb post. I actually liked it. It was a lot uneven. But knocked it out the bag with his friends classroom speech at the end which nailed it in reverse politically. My score was going up and down. At first opening the acting was a little hammy but improved. I found myself thinking the story is just average 5 but would give 6 for some the nostalgia vibes.. ( I don't know why but I was getting ASMR from simple things from back then. Peaceful office and fax noises) made me miss the 80s. It then does throw in the occasional LOL gags. Like a dinner date scenario where each family member see different versions of our lead. ( The Mums vision, is hilarious). In general though this was a rom com. So it was average all round. The acting was nice, the little kid/Son was adorable. The professor likeable & a solid bestfriend. Who's Dramatic courtroomesque words of defence for his homeboy were PERFECT. This is nice comfort movie. It's a lot more mellow compared to white chick's. Due to storyline and time. So WC will always be the best but this was enjoyable.
