Note de Madde-2
I remembered hearing some fuss about this film some time ago when it was (briefly) in some theaters. So, I got sucked in an picked it up tonight on DVD.
Most of my feelings on this particular movie can be summed up by mentioning something that James Toback said during the 5 minute featurette on the disc. He seems to think his lack of direction and allowing for improv during the film's controversial opening sequence somehow makes him a great filmmaker.
And while he is right, you can't reasonably direct every move during a 3 way love scene in Central Park, but his lack of direction during the rest of the movie does, in my opinion, not work in its favor.
Clearly the script for Black & White was about ten pages long and this could help explain why it makes no sense whatsoever and says absolutly nothing, other than the fact that it's really easy to exploit racial stereotypes and degrade women.
This movie doesn't know if it is a documentary on black and white interaction or a murder mystery and seeming as how it is billed as a movie that takes on the issue of white kids trying to act "black" then it might have been better to spend a little more time dealing with that as a serious subject.
There are a lot of interesting ideas presented here, but the format, bad acting, and lack of function detract from the pursuit of them all. Instead of making a movie about a documentary perhaps Toback just should have seriously made the documentary. Now that would have been some interesting entertainment.

Do yourself a favor and avoid this movie. I remember seeing it many years ago and I just caught the end of it on TV tonight. I was reminded of how truly terrible this film is.
The sappy "family togetherness" scenes inserted to balance the film from its (flawed) video game action come off as just that, sappy. For some reason they get on my nerves and as such I can't particularly feel anything for the lead protagonist, the ever bothersome Jimmy.
Be afraid. Very afraid.

While most of the comments I have read so far from my fellow IMDb'ers have been negative towards this film many of the ones I have read at a different board have not been. I would like to suggest that, if anything, this shows that users of IMDb are significantly more knowledgeable about film than others, or at least those who happened to post messages on this particular forum that I happened to be reading not an hour ago.
That said, here is my review.
If you think that THIS is the best movie or one that "rocked the theatre" then might I humbly suggest that you increase your maturity level by 300% before seeing another movie.
Granted, I admit giggling a couple (as in 2) times, but what Mr. Wayans needs to realize is that repeating other movie's scripts line by line until someone farts or ejaculates does not a spoof make.
I shudder to think that the future of cinema will be shaped by those who would give Scary Movie an Academy Award.
