Not a bad movie but...


I would have enjoyed it more if they had given the punk kids dialogue instead of just having them gargle water all the time. Low-class English youths should get together with American black youths and have "Let's See Who Can Be Less Intelligible" contests.

Not all American black youths speak the same. Just as with other races different classes exist. Middle class and affluent blacks do not speak that way. Poor uneducated ones do speak that way. I call them hood necks and ghetto billies. Even if they luck up and become athletes or rappers, they still sound ignorant. [See also Floyd Mayweather]

In all fairness, despite all of this talk of how the US tries to portray blacks as the bad apple of society all of the time, your movies don't seem to follow the trend anymore.

As a Brit I've seen just as many unintelligible whites and Hispanics in movies as I have seen blacks, and I would bet I'd see exactly the same in any bad US neighbourhood - unless I was in a predominantly black area. So go easy with the racist remarks, this is a global message board after all it's not just for Americans and Russians to show the world how intolerant they both are of non-hetero non-whites.
