  • Who's Your Caddy - question

    Hey, anybody remember if this movie was written by some Done Deal participants? I seem to recall something like this in the Script Sales section about a year ago.

      Do you want to find them so you can beat them over the head? I, myself, would at least consider it.

      Seriously though, I'm officially sick of films where people make buffoons of themselves. At least that's what the trailer reeked of. Everyone wants to laugh but it seems that when it comes to black comedy, it almost always has to be dumb comedy. Ironically, if you want to see blacks doing smart comedy bits, you have to see it in a black drama -- i.e. TALK TO ME.

      Thankfully, many P.O.Ss like CADDY have been dealt the direct to video hand in recent years. How CADDY was theatrically released is beyond me. Perhaps the studio had to fullfill its annual "diversity" requirement. Still, wheteher on the silver screen or on DVD, the sight of these turds makes me heave.

        I don't know how movies like that can STILL get made. Please don't say it's because "those movies do well" - checked on Rottentomatoes and this Friday will be a week it's been opened and it hasn't reached 3 mil. - this is the kind of thing I think about when I get those rejection letters back "sorry, this is not for us" I think and THIS KIND OF CRAP IS WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR???

        Also on that site I read a few reviews made me think it was best that I really DID "judge the book by it's cover (and trailers)" (below are snippets taken from rottentomatoes):

        "If this demeaning movie had been made by mainstream Hollywood, it would be courting charges of racism."

        "Wake me when urban films stop using "get back at whitey" as a comedic device."

        "The latest entry in the storied 'white people are like this, black people are like that' comedy subgenre."

        "The movie decides, after 30 minutes of black people clowning like it's 1939, to be a melodrama about injustice and, sigh, redemption."

        "The most degrading, minstrel coon show since Soul Plane!"

        (that last one was pretty harsh, the reviewer must've been extremely offended... and probably should've been)

            I feel your pain, Up all Nite. I love Outkast's music, but "Idlewild" was not what I had hoped it would be -- and this doesn't even sound like it's worth watching on HBO.

            I just remember a while back there was a script sale that got a lot of congratulations because apparently the two writers were well known on Done Deal. When I criticized it for sounding too coonish, a lot of posters thought I was being rude. I thought maybe it was this movie.
