Trippin' (1999) *
Directed by David Raynr. With Deon Richmond, Maia Campbell and Guy Torry. An all-black cast in an all-boring farce about a shy high-school jock trying to ask a girl to the prom. What could have been a cute and charming romantic comedy quickly degenerates into an annoying mess, punctuated by a series of pointless and pretentious erotic fantasies. Films about male libido should be either very tasteful or totally tasteless - anything in between risks to alienate both sides.
