Directed by Robert Townsend
Media Satire, Showbiz Comedy - Rated R - 78 Minutes - 1987
This satirical look at the ambivalent relationship between Hollywood power brokers and African-American performers marked the writing, producing, and directing debut of Robert Townsend. He also stars as Bobby Taylor, a struggling actor looking for his big break. He's subjected to insulting cattle calls where white casting agents pass judgment on whether he seems "black enough," and he is forced to choose between accepting work that opens doors, but ultimately demeans him, or returning to obscurity with his principles intact.
