In this thin comedy Jamie Kennedy takes a character from his TV sketch show The Jamie Kennedy Experiment, and stretches it into a full feature. Kennedy plays B-Rad, the white privileged teenager who has taken on all the trappings of a black rap artist. His father, a campaigning US senator, arranges for his son to be kidnapped and shown what life in the 'hood is really like. B-Rad's gangsta posturing is amusing in his Malibu environment, but once transposed to the streets of LA the film becomes a pastiche of black urban life. There's way too much artifice, and the stereotypical characters and set-ups are central to the problem. It gets tedious watching the same old ethnic clichés, while the repetitive gags are as transparent as the plotline.

Not good
I am afraid this was far from a classic. The concept was a good one just the jokes where not funny. Which is never good in a comedy.

Rating
This movie had its funny moments but overall it was quite lame, good to watch once but would become annoying after that.
