Summary An Ivy-League educated writer (Damon Wayans) joins a comedy show at a major network. The show includes an all black cast, but is written by mostly white people. One of his first ideas is to have a skit where the cast wears "black face," and the show becomes an instant smash.

Lee's incendiary and brilliant new film.
Nothing seriously detracts from the film's overall brilliance.
What the movie lacks in clarity, it makes up for in honesty, toughness, relentlessness and passion.
By the end, we simply have no idea what he (Lee) feels or what the film is really about. And we are too worn out to care.
Lee's new racial satire starts out strong but loses its way.
Spike Lee lost his nerve -- there are moments here, too, when it also seems like he lost his sense.
