I get the feeling that this film might've been advertised as a comedy, but yes, it does border on some serious issues that should be acknowledged.
Still, there are several scenes in WHITEBOYS that had me busting up, most notably Flip's daydreaming sequences, which has him imagining about being accepted by urban thugs just because he's "down" with hip-hop.
Overall,I ended up being impressed by this film. Well acted, well written, and well filmed. I would'nt mind catching it again!
