Review of Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song (1971) by Andy C — 14 Apr 2010
More like Sweet Sweetback's Blaackasssss Dong, amirite? Sort of? Yeah, it's mostly Melvin Van Peebles having sex, to the extent that he contracted gonorrhea. Way to go, MVP, I have no idea how we connect the dots to arrive at the civil rights being demanded by filming yourself having sex with so many people you caught a disease, but I hope it was worth opening the door for movies like "White Chicks".
Even better with that opening sequence of your something-like-8 years old son and. . .uh. . .a hooker. But anyway, I don't mind the fighting of oppression and whathaveyou, but this wasn't very interesting, however if nothing else it served its purpose and now guys like Spike Lee can make movies without resorting to putting children in scenes that could land you in jail.
But those Wayans Bros. . . .
