Well, it turns out that a movie based on a one-joke premise (white guys in Iowa
think they're gangsta rappers and, you know, front) can indeed fill 90 minutes
with that one joke.
Too bad the joke is not funny. At all. Whiteboys (aka the street-friendly
Whiteboyz) claims "It's all good!" but that's far from the truth. Actually,
it's all insulting and moronic, as Hoch and co. try their hand at street talk
and drug dealing with deliterious effects. Is this a comedy? I don't think
so. Not on purpose, anyway. The film gets even worse with Hoch's frequent
regressions into dream-sequence land, punctuated by real rapper cameos.
How embarassing that must have been for them.
And for the audience.
Aka White Boyz, White Boys, Whiteboyz.
