Rich,
white advertising executive Nick (Robbins) finds his wife in bed with his boss.
In shock he drives around aimlessly and ends up with a black guy T Paul (Lawrence)
holding a gun to his head, demanding his wallet. Instead Nick guns the engine,
drives madly through town and into the desert, scaring T Paul to death.
Buddy
film. Black guy – white guy film. Yuppie – slum guy film. It could be a turkey
and it kind of starts out that way but Robbins doesn’t disappoint. His spider
dance should be considered a classic.
Silly but funny with an appealing cast.
