this movie do a good job of develop character type and play them off against each other . first and there be the ironic humor implicit in a white boy thinking that his rich white beach town be the hood and that he be one of the oppressed people . at one point and he ask his black governess if she think that our people will ever be treat right . eventually we find out that this white boy be literally raise by his black governess because his parent who be important and busy people be never around . he listen to and love her music and get her perspective on life and pick up her accent and etc . he fell in love with rap music a a little kid and and his goal in life be to be a big time rapper . so the notion of a white boy act black be not as preposterous a it seem . one aspect of this movie that i find brilliant be the way the writer also incorporate the opposite situation of black act white . specifically and two black character actor one who attend juilliard and the other who launch his career at the pasadena playhouse and be hire by the boy father to scare the boy white . at first and we see these actor in an ad for the father gubernatorial campaign argue and push each other on a basketball court and and they do seem very tough . but when we meet them in person and they do not really have a clue about the ghetto or how to act like gangster . when they stage a kidnapping of the white boy and take him to the house of one of their girlfriend who live in the ghetto and they quickly realize that they be in over their head . then some real gang banger come along and ( in another ironic juxtaposition ) the hard core gangster in a gun blaze showdown turn out to be the poser white boy and whose shoot escapade ( no one be kill or injure ) be capture on video by reporter and televise on the evening news . naturally and the boy father see this and be mortify what will become of his run for the governorship now . anyway and congratulation to the writer of this movie for a job well do . and congratulation to jamie kennedy for his excellent acting and comedic skill .
