Review of Bamboozled (2000) by Rayshaun G — 11 Jul 2012

I love this movie, and I think it has great things going for it, but the ending is too poor to ignore. If the film ended more gracefully (and realistically) it could very well have been a 4/5 star feature.

Instead, it is as if Lee forgot to write an appropriate ending into the script and had only a few minutes left to turn it in. What we end up with is a jagged final thirty minutes that deflates the balloon of enjoyment and insight we received from the film's first three quarters.
