Review of Whiteboyz (1999) by Craig K — 30 Oct 2012
As a Transplant from Chicago to Iowa..I find this film to be very relevant and spot on to some extent.. I understand what its message was while also getting a laugh out of it -I saw many people who acted like the characters in this film in high school here.
..This is a great film and accurate portrayal of how the media and pop culture can influence its rural audience (specifically the youth in this case.) This film also has somewhat of a cult following in Iowa.
..it has some things that only someone who has lived in Iowa would spot: Eating at a (crappy)restuarant present at every mall in Iowa-Diamond daves. Kids working at Apac- a now dufunct telemarketing firm that every high school kid worked at in the 90s, and the scenes shot at the ped mall in Iowa city, specifically the field house.
..so props to who ever made this movie..they definitely paid attention to the details...unfortunately only an iowan would get it tho I think.
