In a virtually all-white Iowa town, Flip daydreams of being a hip-hop star, hanging with Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Dre. He practices in front of a mirror and with his two pals, James and Trevor. He talks Black slang, he dresses Black. He's also a wannabe pusher, selling flour as cocaine. And while he talks about "keeping it real," he hardly notices real life around him: his father's been laid off, his mother uses Food Stamps, his girlfriend is pregnant, James may be psychotic, one of his friends (one of the town's few Black kids) is preparing for college, and, on a trip to Chicago to try to buy drugs, the cops shoot real bullets. What will it take for Flip to get real?

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

just writing this to inform the guy that wrote he wanted to puke after hearing Flip's birthmark comment it's a comedy and best viewed if blazed up. In fact if you expect a deep introspective look into white guys acting black this movie is not it. It's a movie with a couple gimmicky lines and i actually LOL'd my ass off thru most of it with my buddies the year it came out. If you're 16-24 you're going to laugh regardless of skin tone. If not thats cool too but why watch the whole thing and just get racist angry? Peace everyone and God Bless! 6 out of ten mostly cause i had a really nice bag of the chronic and it was epic funny.

There is a great underground culture dealing with white people acting black, or wishing they were black. Though I don't believe too much in human creations such as race, but there are those that strive to be something other than they should be. I, for some reason, felt some pity, for the kids in this movie. They only want to be accepted, and look towards the rap culture for acceptance.For a white boy from the suburbs, I can say I've known guys that act like the leads in this movie. The sad thing is they don't know how ridiculous they are acting until it is too late.The movie is almost a comedy, but sadly, those that are being laughed at don't know it.

With this movie, Daniel Hoch certified himself as one of the most promising actors ever. Appearing in such historic films such as Prison Song, Jails, Hospitals, and Hip Hop, and who could forget Timmi Hillinigger from Bamboozled, he has shown why he is the best at what he does and what he does is act. Must see movie.

This movie is just plain dumb. Very bad acting. Bad script, very very bad script. Danny Hoch, as Flip gave an awful performance. I really can't find anything good about this movie. Don't have more words to describe it, just plain bad.
