This is the first and only time I've reviewed a movie on IMDb but this movie was so awful I felt like I had to.
The main problem is it's just not funny. I realize comedy is subjective but there isn't anything in the movie that could be interpreted as humor unless you think an exploding toilet is funny, in which case 3 seconds of the movie will entertain you.
The story makes no sense - this guy takes 3 kids to a drug dealer, steals a car, breaks into a jewelry store and steals diamonds, has the drug dealer beaten up, goes to a black club where all the black people are criminals and thugs, meets one normal black person who inexplicably is at the same bar (of course - because she's black!), steals thousands of dollars of cash and checks from a bat mitzvah, gets in a car accident, etc. All while solving three disturbed kids emotional problems (tells a disturbed, violent adopted orphan to "chill out," tells a boy he's gay, and tells a girl to take her makeup off).
It was just weird and made no sense. The racist stuff really bothered me but ultimately it fails just because it wasn't funny.
I give it 2 stars instead of 1 for the black girl love interest, who was the only normal person in the movie (except that she looks like a supermodel and was too shy to talk to a fat, ugly jerk in her astronomy class).
