The only thing I remember about this movie now is reading about write Trey Ellis' problems with it and Matty Rich specifically

In short, Trey Ellis wrote a memoir upon which this film was supposed to be based, but Matty Rich took his script and changed it into what turned out to be the end result, which Trey basically thought was demeaning to bourgie black folks everywhere

The final result infuriated Ellis to such a degree that he asked that his name be removed from the screenplay; when that request was refused he then requested that it be credited with the pseudonym, "Tom Riconstronza."
