**** movie review - obsessed*****

I initially was not going to go see this movie because it reinforces stereotypes of black executives but Golo’s “Kim Rescues Dogs” convinced me and I’m so glad she did, I could just kiss her perfect head.

Where to start? OK, the protagonist is this big black dude. This black dude has it going on - high-end Mercedes, shaved head, nice threads, Vice President of the firm and has big hands.

Oh, almost forgot black dude is married to oh so fine Beyonce. Beyonce has got it going on - the caboose is on the loose. I’m taking the train to the station house.

Enter white hot temp chick that wants the black dude executive. Let me just go on the record saying if that hot white temp chick was my temp, we’d be exercising in my condo right now. This is where the movie producer reinforces the stereotype of the black dude executive. The black dude executive is scared to death to do anything remotely wrong even though his white male colleagues encourage him to think inside of the box and be a team player. But the Black Dude Executive goes by the book. Mr. Black Dude-Goody-Two-Shoes.

So most of the movie is hot white temp chick hitting on black dude executive - at the Christmas Party, in the bathroom stall, in the parking garage and at the conference. Black Dude Executive continuously rejects the white hot temp’s advances. This black dude is so perfect the audience doesn’t bond with him because he like a big black sissy. No crack, no profanity, no kissing, no suggestive e-mails, no blade, no glock, no home boy friends and a hybrid Escalade, please! I personally don’t see what Beyonce sees in the dude.

But the saving grace in this movie is when oh so hot Beyonce takes care of business.

I give this movie 4.5 baggy drawers out of 5.

Updated Peggy Lipton and Linc? ;)

Old, I love Link man, but the fro is out. I hope it comes back in though.

:) Now that was a "real" fro.

Old, it was a perfect fro. I remember those days so well. There was afro sheen and Dippity Doo. Those were the only hair products on the market.

LOL...Don't forget SunIn. I used it after graduation and was a redhead that summer...and not on purpose. I thoght it was just to highlight hair...My hair could have passeed for Lucille Balll's that summer. BTW...not to hyjack this blog, but I intend to see the movie when it comes out on DVD as it looks like it'd be pretty intense. Looks like Mama ain't gonna let Goldilocks get her man if she can help it.

The exec sounds boring. What does the white chick see in him I want to know. And lost and found are you Craig Lindsey or Barry Saunders from N&0? Nah couldn't be Barry cause then you would have said Sweet Thang! :)

Old, I remember that stuff. You weren't the only one to be tricked by that product. I was blonde already but had a fro. There were no hair products for white dudes back then so I used afro sheen until they invented gel.

FYI, my bike hasn't arrived. I think it was sold to someone that paid a higher price. Well it's still on order.

Teresa, that's funny Barry and I are Homeboys. He's got a bald head you know. I actually told him he should shave his head. I also told him to lose that doorky hat.

Teresa, Home Staging? Wow you must be hurting in this economy. I hope things get better.

Yes home staging is slow at the moment. When I was a hairdresser I had a crush on Barry. He came to my salon because he was friends with someone there. When he came in that person he came to see was not there so I walked up front to tell him and as I walked up there my jacket got caught on my cart of rollers and I was draging it with me!! I was sooo embarassed! I did get his autograph. He signed his article that was printed that day. :)
