In the film Reggie Hudlin is portrayed by Damon Wayans' character Pierre Delacroix. He like Hudlin is given the task of coming up with exciting new programming starring African Americans. He is prompted by his boss, of course that would be Sumner Redstone and in the film represented by the character Thomas Dunwitty (played by Michael Rapaport). Like Hudlin, Delacroix tries to think of the most demeaning, degrading way to show African Americans and like Hudlin decides on a modern day minstrel show.
I won't give the rest of the story away but this is a must see in the era of Hot Ghetto Mess and rap videos. This is a great film to see this weekend and especially a great film for teens to see who don't quite get what the fuss about BET and rap is all about.
