In this comedic drama, two unnamed students -- an African-American man (Harold Perrineau) and a Caucasian man (Anthony DeSando) -- discuss a speech that the former will be giving in class. Focusing on race relations, the ideas in the speech spark a debate between the two men that eventually grows into a heated argument. During the intense discussion, they cover a wide range of topics, from dating to holidays to music, making numerous allusions to pop culture.

Frances H The visual impact of the opening credits was amazing, and the rest of the movie was just as fascinating. And this film wasn't just about black and white issues, but male-female, antisemitism, and any kind of prejudice. It brought up old and newer forms of prejudicial thinking and arguments you've heard, as well as ones you haven't. And it was funny! Attacking prejudice with humor is the best way to do it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/13 Full Review Audience Member I need to watch this again. Yay for Harold Perrineau. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
