p_breedlove: I'm not black but agree with him or her
It is bullshit how they crank out these formulaic comedies trafficking grossly in stereotypes. It happens in "white" comedies all the time too, however. Look at anything with Rob Schneider or the last half dozen of Adam Sandler's comedies. It pisses me off that our intelligence and our sharp senses of humor are insulted with these pieces of shit. But throw in race as with the movie in question, "Are We There Yet" or whatever, and it goes from insulting to outrageous.
People please: stop showing up for these movies so they'll stop making them! I'm probably preaching to the choir here on Salon, but still. If all the comedies showing are dumbass pieces of shit and you just aren't in the mood for something serious, stay home and read a novel or play some Scategories or something. There's plenty of light entertainment out there that isn't racist and/or dumber-than-dirt.
